Answer:

P(N₂) = 2.5 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Total pressure of gasses = 6.7 atm

Partial pressure of O₂ = 3.0 atm

Partial pressure of CO₂ = 1.2 atm

Partial pressure of N₂ = ?

Solution;

According to Dalton law of partial pressure,

The total pressure inside container is equal to the sum of partial pressures of individual gases present in container.

Mathematical expression:

P(total) = P₁ + P₂ + P₃+ ............+Pₙ

Now we will solve this problem by using this law.

P(total) = P(O₂) + P(CO₂) + P(N₂)

6.7 atm = 3.0 atm + 1.2 atm + P(N₂)

6.7 atm = 4.2 atm + P(N₂)

P(N₂) = 6.7 atm - 4.2 atm

P(N₂) = 2.5 atm

mr_godi [17]

Answer: A plot of the natural log of the concentration of the reactant as a function of time is linear.

Explanation:

Since it was explicitly stated in the question that the half life is independent of the initial concentration of the reactant then the third option must necessarily be false. Also, the plot of the natural logarithm of the concentration of reactant against time for a first order reaction is linear. In a first order reaction, the half life is independent of the initial concentration of the reactant. Hence the answer.

Answer:

Haptens.

Explanation:

Haptens are known as small molecules that help to stimulate the production of antibody molecules when attached with a large molecule known as a carrier molecule such as proteins.

Haptens are used to study the mechanism of inflammatory bowel disease to help induce the autoimmune type of responses and allergic contact dermatitis.

For this question, the "entropy term" refers to "-TΔS". Addition reactions are generally favorable at low temperatures because _

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Lowering the temperature typically reduces the significance of the decrease in entropy. That makes the Gibbs Free energy of the reaction more negative. As a result, the reaction becomes more favorable overall.

Explanation:

In an addition reaction there's a decrease in the number of particles. Consider the hydrogenation of ethene as an example.

$\rm H_2C\text{=}CH_2\; (g) + H_2\; (g) \stackrel{\text{Ni}^\ast}{\to} H_3C\text{-}CH_3\; (g)$ .

When $\rm H_2$ is added to $\rm H_2C\text{=}CH_2$ (ethene) under heat and with the presence of a catalyst, $\rm H_3C\text{-}CH3$ (ethane) would be produced.

Note that on the left-hand side of the equation, there are two gaseous molecules. However, on the right-hand side there's only one gaseous molecule. That's a significant decrease in entropy. In other words, $\Delta S < 0$ .

The equation for the change in Gibbs Free Energy for a particular reaction is:

$\Delta G = \Delta H + (\underbrace{- T \, \Delta S}_{\text{entropy}\atop \text{term}})$ .

For a particular reaction, the more negative $\Delta G$ is, the more spontaneous ("favorable") the reaction would be.

Since typically $\Delta S < 0$ for addition reactions, the "entropy term" of it would be positive. That's not very helpful if the reaction needs to be favorable.

$T$ (absolute temperature) is always nonnegative. However, lowering the temperature could help bring the value of
