Answer:

This question is incomplete but the completed question is in the attachment below. And the correct is b

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity can be defined as the amount of heat required to raise to raise 1 kg of a substance by 1 kelvin. Thus, this means that when the specific heat capacity of a substance is high, it takes more energy to increase the temperature of that substance. This also means that when different substances are subjected to the same amount of heat, the substance with the higher specific heat capacity will absorb less heat; for example at a beach, water has a very high specific heat capacity, thus when the sand in the beach is hot, the beach water is still relatively cold.

From the description above, it can be seen that the metal with the least specific capacity will absorb the greatest amount of heat, thus the metal is lead with the specific heat capacity of 0.129 J/(g. °C).

Calculate the number of milliliters of 0.710 M Ba(OH)2 required to precipitate all of the Mn2+ ions in 161 mL of 0.796 M KMnO4 s

USPshnik [31]

Answer: The volume of barium hydroxide is 183 mL.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles of cadmium nitrate, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$ .....(1)

Molarity of $MnSO_4$ = 0.796 M

Volume of $MnSO_4$ = 161 mL = 0.161 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.796mol/L=\frac{\text{Moles of }MnSO_4}{0.161L}\\\\\text{Moles of }MnSO_4=0.13mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of manganese sulfate and barium hydroxide follows:

$MnSO_4(aq.)+Ba(OH)_2(aq.)\rightarrow Mn(OH)_2(s)+BaSO_4(aq.)$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of manganese sulfate reacts with 1 mole of barium hydroxide.

So, 0.13 moles of manganese sulfate will react with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.13=0.13mol$ of barium hydroxide

Now, calculating the volume of barium hydroxide by using equation 1, we get:

Moles of barium hydroxide = 0.13 moles

Molarity of barium hydroxide = 0.710 M

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.710mol/L=\frac{0.13mol}{\text{Volume of barium hydroxide}}\\\\\text{Volume of barium hydroxide}=0.183L$

Converting this into milliliters, we use the conversion factor:

1 L = 1000 mL

So, $0.183L=0.183\times 1000=183mL$

Hence, the volume of barium hydroxide is 183 mL.

Consider the data presented below. time (s) 0 40 80 120 160 moles of a 0.100 0.067 0.045 0.030 0.020 part a part complete determ

Whitepunk [10]

To determine which order of the reaction it is, first we need to calculate the rate of change of moles.
the data is as follows
time 0 40 80 120 160
moles 0.100 0.067 0.045 0.030 0.020

Q1)
for the first 40 s change of moles ;
= -d[A] / t
= - (0.067-0.100)/40s
= 8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
for the next 40 s
= -(0.045-0.067)/40
= 5.5 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
the 40 s after that
= -(0.030-0.045)/40 s
= 3.75 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
k - rate constant
and A is the only reactant that affects the rate of the reaction

rate = k [A]ᵇ
8.25 × 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.100 mol]ᵇ ----1
5.5 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.067 mol]ᵇ -----2
divide the 2nd equation by the 1st equation
1.5 = [1.49]ᵇ
b is almost equal to 1
Therefore this is a first order reaction

Q2)
to find out the rate constant(k), we have to first state the equation for a first order reaction.
rate = k[A]ᵇ
As A is the only reactant thats considered for the rate equation.
Since this is a first order reaction,
b = 1
therefore the reaction is
rate = k[A]
substituting the values,
8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.100 mol]
k = 8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s /0.100mol
= 8.25 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹
