Consider the following reaction between mercury(II) chloride and oxalate ion.

Alina [70]

<u>Answer:</u> The rate law of the reaction is $\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2][C_2O_4^{2-}]^2$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

$2 HgCl_2(aq.)+C_2O_4^{2-}(aq.)\rightarrow 2Cl^-(aq.)+2CO_2(g)+Hg_2Cl_2(s)$

Rate law expression for the reaction:

$\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2]^a[C_2O_4^{2-}]^b$

where,

a = order with respect to $HgCl_2$

b = order with respect to $C_2O_4^{2-}$

Expression for rate law for first observation:

$3.2\times 10^{-5}=k(0.164)^a(0.15)^b$ ....(1)

Expression for rate law for second observation:

$2.9\times 10^{-4}=k(0.164)^a(0.45)^b$ ....(2)

Expression for rate law for third observation:

$1.4\times 10^{-4}=k(0.082)^a(0.45)^b$ ....(3)

Expression for rate law for fourth observation:

$4.8\times 10^{-5}=k(0.246)^a(0.15)^b$ ....(4)

Dividing 2 from 1, we get:

$\frac{2.9\times 10^{-4}}{3.2\times 10^{-5}}=\frac{(0.164)^a(0.45)^b}{(0.164)^a(0.15)^b}\\\\9=3^b\\b=2$

Dividing 2 from 3, we get:

$\frac{2.9\times 10^{-4}}{1.4\times 10^{-4}}=\frac{(0.164)^a(0.45)^b}{(0.082)^a(0.45)^b}\\\\2=2^a\\a=1$

Thus, the rate law becomes:

$\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2]^1[C_2O_4^{2-}]^2$

Gaseous carbon monoxide reacts with hydrogen gas to form gaseous methane (ch4) and liquid water. express your answer as a chemic

laiz [17]

The formula for the compounds in the reaction are as follows with the respective states
Carbon monoxide - CO (g)
hydrogen - H₂ (g)
methane - CH₄(g)
water - H₂O (l)
reaction of carbon monoxide with hydrogen gas gives rise to methane and water
the balanced chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows
CO(g) + 3H₂(g) --> CH₄(g) + H₂O(l)

What did you include in your hypothesis? Check all that apply.

Tcecarenko [31]

The following observation would be included in a hypothesis: a connection between type of material and thermal energy transfer is developed (option C).

<h3>What is a hypothesis?</h3>

Hypothesis is a tentative conjecture explaining an observation, phenomenon or scientific problem that can be tested by further observation, investigation and/or experimentation.

The hypothesis is regarded as an educated guess because it predicts the possible outcome of an experiment.

The hypothesis is a statement that relates the independent variable of the experiment with the measured or dependent variable.

Therefore, the following observation would be included in a hypothesis: a connection between type of material and thermal energy transfer is developed.
