Answer:

32000 kilometers

Explanation:

In order to convert from miles to kilometers, we need to use a conversion factor. In other words, we put miles in the denominator and kilometers in the numerator, as follows:

20000 miles * $\frac{1.6km}{1mile}$ = 32000 kilometers

That way the units for miles cancel each other, leaving the equivalent amount in kilometers.

In a particular experiment at 300 ∘C, [NO2] drops from 0.0100 to 0.00800 M in 100 s. The rate of appearance of O2 for this perio

Answer:

$1\times{10}^{-5}\frac{M}{s}$

Explanation:

The stoichiometry for this reaction is

$2NO_2\rightarrow2NO+O_2$

The rate for this reaction can be written as

$-r_{NO_2}=-\frac{d\left[NO_2\right]}{dt}=\frac{(0.01-0.008)M}{100s}=2\times{10}^{-5}\frac{M}{s}$

This rate of disappearence of $NO_2$ can be realated to the rate of appearence of $O_2$ as follows (the coefficients of each compound are defined by the stoichiometry of the reaction)

$-r_{O_2}=-r_{NO_2}\times\frac{coefficient\ O_2\ }{coefficient\ NO_2}=2\times{10}^{-5}\frac{M}{s}\times\frac{1\ mole\ O_2\ }{2\ mole\ NO_2}=1\times{10}^{-5}\frac{M}{s}$
