What is special about the kelvin temperature scale

1 answer:

5 0

Kelvin is a temperature scale designed so that zero degrees K is defined as absolute zero (at absolute zero, a hypothetical temperature, all molecular movement stops - all actual temperatures are above absolute zero) and the size of one unit is the same as the size of one degree Celsius.

The conversation of cyclopropane to propene in the gas phase is a first order reaction with a rate constant of 6.7x10-⁴s-¹. a) i

Rus_ich [418]

Answer: a) The concentration after 8.8min is 0.17 M

b) Time taken for the concentration of cyclopropane to decrease from 0.25M to 0.15M is 687 seconds.

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process

a) concentration after 8.8 min:

$8.8\times 60s=\frac{2.303}{6.7\times 10^{-4}s^{-1}}\log\frac{0.25}{a-x}$

$\log\frac{0.25}{a-x}=0.15$

$\frac{0.25}{a-x}=1.41$

$(a-x)=0.17M$

b) for concentration to decrease from 0.25M to 0.15M

$t=\frac{2.303}{6.7\times 10^{-4}s^{-1}}\log\frac{0.25}{0.15}\\\\t=\frac{2.303}{6.7\times 10^{-4}s^{-1}}\times 0.20$

$t=687s$

How does a higher heat capacity affect the amount of time it takes for an object’s temperature to change?

marshall27 [118]

<span> An object with a high specific heat would change temperature more slowly than one with low specific heat. Water, for example has a very high specific heat so it requires a lot of energy to heat it up. It also takes a while for water to cool down because it holds that heat for a long time. <3</span>
