Ethyl chloride vapor decomposes by the first-order reaction:

Chemistry

ExtremeBDS [4]3 years ago

Explanation:

(a)  The given data is as follows.

            Frequency factor A = 1.60 \times 10^{14} s^{-1}

           Activation energy (E_{a}) = 249 kJ/mol

           Gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

            Temperature (T) = 876 K

Hence, calculate the specific rate constant as follows.

                  K = Ae^{\frac{-E_{a}}{RT}}

                      = 1.60 \times 10^{14} s^{-1} e^{\frac{249000 J/mol}{8.314 J/mol K \times 876 K}}

                      = 1.60 \times 10^{14} s^{-1} \times 1.034

                      = 1.128 \times 10^{29}

Hence, the value of specific rate constant K is 1.6544 \times 10^{14}.

(b)  It is given that time is 20 minutes. As there are 60 seconds present in 1 min. Therefore, seconds present in 20 minutes are as follows.

            20 min \times \frac{60 sec}{1 min}

            = 1200 sec

Hence, for the first order reaction the fraction remaining is as follows.

                \frac{C}{C_{o}} = e^{-kt}

                              = e^{-1.6544 \times 10^{14} \times 1200 sec}

                              = 0

Hence, fraction decomposed = 1 - 0 = 1

Therefore, the fraction of the ethyl chloride that decomposes in 20 minutes at this temperature is 1.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

The other students in the lab should be notified next in this type of scenario.

<h3>What is an acid?</h3>

This is a substance which donates protons and is very corrosive. It also turns blue litmus paper red.

When it was spilled and baking soda was used to neutralize it on the floor , it is best to inform the other students too so as to prevent them from being exposed by mistake thereby reducing risk of injury.

The bonds in the reactants of Figure 7-3 contained 372 kJ of chemical energy and the bonds in the products contained 350 kJ of c
satela [25.4K]

Answer: 22 kJ amount of energy is released in the following reaction.

Explanation: There are two types of reaction on the basis of amount of heat absorbed or released.

1. Endothermic reactions: These are the type of reactions in which reactants absorb heat to form the products. The energy of the reactants is less than the energy of the products.

2. Exothermic reactions: These are the type of reactions in which heat is released from the chemical reactions. The energy of the products is less than the reactants.

Sign convention for \Delta H: This value is negative for exothermic reactions and positive for endothermic reactions.

For the given chemical reaction,

Energy of the products is less than the energy of the reactants, Hence, this reaction will be a type of exothermic reaction and energy will be released during this chemical change.

Amount of energy released = (350 - 372) kJ = -22kJ

Negative sign symbolizes the energy is being released. So, 22 kJ amount of energy is released in the following reaction.
