Answer:

Rate =  k [ (CH₃)₃CBr ]

k = 0.011 s⁻¹

Explanation:

The rate law in general form for this reaction is:

rate = k[A]^m x [B]^n

and we want to determine m and n.

Notice the experiments conducted involved variying the concentration of one of the reactants while keeping the other constant. By comparing two experiments in this way and noticing the effect on the reaction rate, one can deduce the order with respect to that reactant.

Take experiments 1 and 2 :

Doubling the concentration of OH⁻ while keeping (CH₃)₃CBr constant had  no effect on the initial rate.

This implies the order with respect to [OH⁻] is zero.

From experiments 1 and 3 we  see that doubling the [ (CH₃)₃CBr ] while keeping [OH-] the same doubles the initial rate.

We now have the orders of the two reactants, and the rate law will be:

rate = k [ (CH₃)₃CBr ] [ OH⁻]⁰  = k [ (CH₃)₃CBr ]

We could use another comparison to check our answer. For example comparing 3 and 4,  maintaining  [ (CH₃)₃CBr ]  constant and doubling  [ OH⁻] has no effect on the rate which confirms the order respect to  [ OH⁻]  is zero.

The rate constant we can determine it from any of the experiment by solving for k, for example from experiment 1:

7.14 x 10⁻³ M/s  = k x 0.626 M   ⇒ k = 0.011 s⁻¹

179.1 g of water is in a Styrofoam calorimeter of negligible heat capacity. The initial T of the water is 16.1oC. After 306.9 g
taurus [48]

Answer:

the specific heat of the unknown compound is c_u=0.412J/g \cdot C

Explanation:

Generally the change in temperature of water is evaluated as

                \Delta T = T_2 -T_1

Substituting 16.1°C for T_1 and 27.4°C for T_2

                \Delta T = 27.4 - 16.1

                       =11.3^oC

Generally the change in temperature of  unknown compound is evaluated as

                  \Delta T_u = T_3 -T_2

Substituting 27.4°C for T_2 and 94.3°C for T_3

                                    \Delta T = 94.3 - 27.4

                                           =66.9^oC

Since there is an increase in temperature then heat is gained by water and this can be evaluated as

               H_w = mc_w \Delta T

Substituting 179.1 g  for m , 4.18 J/g.C for c_w(specific heat of water)

             H_w = 4.18 * 179.1 * 11.3

                   = 8459.6J

Since there is a decrease in temperature then heat is lost by unknown compound and this can be evaluated as

                    H_u = m_uc_u \Delta T_u

By conservation of energy law

       Heat lost  = Heat gained  

Substituting 306.9 g  for m_u , 8459.6J for H_u

           8459.6 = 306.9 * c_u * 66.9

  Therefore     c_u = \frac{8459.6}{308.9 *66.9}

                           =0.412J/g \cdot C

Which statement is true for the given reaction? Na2SO4(aq) + Mg(s) →
Arlecino [84]
Answer is: no reaction occurs.
No reaction occurs because magnesium (Mg) is less reactive than sodium (Na). Sodium is higher in activity series of metals and can not be reduced. <span> Metal X will replace another metal Y in a solution if X is higher in the activity series. </span>

How many of the planets have an orbital period of less than one Earth year?
GrogVix [38]

Since orbital period depends on how far you are from the sun, planets closer to the sun have a orbital period less than one earth year.

These planets are Mercury and Venus
