Describe the displacement method for measuring the volume of an object

jeyben [28]

Volume is a measure of the amount of space an object takes up. When a cylinder is submerged in the water it pushes water out of the way. If you measure the amount the water level increases, you can find the volume of the water pushed out of the way.

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

Alina [70]

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

Explanation:

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:

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

Determine the bonding type for boron trihydride given the electronegativity on the Pauling scale for boron is 2.0 and for hydrog

Anika [276]

Answer: The bond between boron and hydrogen in boron trihydride is covalent bond.

Explanation:

The type of bonding between the atoms forming a compound is determined by using the electronegativity difference between the atoms. According to the pauling's electronegativity rule:
