Answer:

E_a = 103.626 × 10³ KJ/mol

Explanation:

Formula to solve this is given by;

Log(k2/k1) = (E_a/2.303R)((1/T1) - (1/T2))

Where;

k2 is rate constant at second temperature

k1 is rate constant at first temperature

R is universal gas constant

T1 is first temperature

T2 is second temperature

We are given;

k1 = 2.8 × 10^(-3) /s

k2 = 4.8 × 10^(-4) /s

R = 8.314 J/mol.k

T1 = 60°C = 333.15 K

T2 = 45°C = 318.15 K

Thus;

Log((4.8 × 10^(-4))/(2.8 × 10^(-3))) = (E_a/(2.303 × 8.314))((1/333.15) - (1/318.15))

We now have;

-0.76592 = -0.00000739121E_a

E_a = -0.76592/-0.00000739121

E_a = 103.626 × 10³ KJ/mol

What is the name of the covalent compound CCl4?

zubka84 [21]

Think, first, about the type of molecule or formula unit you have (covalent or ionic). In this case, it is a covalent molecule. You start with the carbon. You could say monocarbon, but if it is just said to be carbon it is assumed to be one. Then you take the prefix for 4 and tack it on to the beginning of the chlorine. For this, the name is carbon tetrachloride.

A solution was prepared by dissolving 0.800 g of sulfur S8, in 100.0 g of acetic acid, HC2H3O2. Calculate the freezing point and

Romashka [77]

Answer: The freezing point of solution is 16.5°C and the boiling point of solution is 118.2°C

Explanation:

To calculate the molality of solution, we use the equation:

$Molality=\frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ in grams}}$

Where,

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute $(S_8)$ = 0.800 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute $(S-8)$ = 256.52 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (acetic acid) = 100.0 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molality of solution}=\frac{0.800\times 1000}{256.52\times 100.0}\\\\\text{Molality of solution}=0.0312m$

Calculation for freezing point of solution:

Depression in freezing point is defined as the difference in the freezing point of water and freezing point of solution.

$\Delta T_f=\text{freezing point of acetic acid}-\text{Freezing point of solution}$

To calculate the depression in freezing point, we use the equation:

$\Delta T_f=iK_fm$

or,

$\text{Freezing point of acetic acid}-\text{Freezing point of solution}=iK_fm$

where,

Freezing point of acetic acid = 16.6°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolyte)

$K_f$ = molal freezing point depression constant = 3.59°C/m

m = molality of solution = 0.0312 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$16.6^oC-\text{freezing point of solution}=1\times 3.59^oC/m\times 0.0312m\\\\\text{Freezing point of solution}=16.5^oC$

Hence, the freezing point of solution is 16.5°C

Calculation for boiling point of solution:

Elevation in boiling point is defined as the difference in the boiling point of solution and freezing point of pure solution.

The equation used to calculate elevation in boiling point follows:

$\Delta T_b=\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{Boiling point of acetic acid}$

To calculate the elevation in boiling point, we use the equation:

$\Delta T_b=iK_bm$

or,

$\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{Boiling point of acetic acid}=iK_fm$

where,

Boiling point of acetic acid = 118.1°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolyte)

$K_f$ = molal boiling point elevation constant = 3.08°C/m

m = molality of solution = 0.0312 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Boiling point of solution}-118.1^oC=1\times 3.08^oC/m\times 0.0312m\\\\\text{Boiling point of solution}=118.2^oC$

Hence, the boiling point of solution is 118.2°C
