Consider the following reaction between mercury(II) chloride and oxalate ion.

Alina [70]

Answer: The rate law of the reaction is $\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2][C_2O_4^{2-}]^2$

Explanation:

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

$2 HgCl_2(aq.)+C_2O_4^{2-}(aq.)\rightarrow 2Cl^-(aq.)+2CO_2(g)+Hg_2Cl_2(s)$

Rate law expression for the reaction:

$\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2]^a[C_2O_4^{2-}]^b$

where,

a = order with respect to $HgCl_2$

b = order with respect to $C_2O_4^{2-}$

Expression for rate law for first observation:

$3.2\times 10^{-5}=k(0.164)^a(0.15)^b$ ....(1)

Expression for rate law for second observation:

$2.9\times 10^{-4}=k(0.164)^a(0.45)^b$ ....(2)

Expression for rate law for third observation:

$1.4\times 10^{-4}=k(0.082)^a(0.45)^b$ ....(3)

Expression for rate law for fourth observation:

$4.8\times 10^{-5}=k(0.246)^a(0.15)^b$ ....(4)

Dividing 2 from 1, we get:

$\frac{2.9\times 10^{-4}}{3.2\times 10^{-5}}=\frac{(0.164)^a(0.45)^b}{(0.164)^a(0.15)^b}\\\\9=3^b\\b=2$

Dividing 2 from 3, we get:

$\frac{2.9\times 10^{-4}}{1.4\times 10^{-4}}=\frac{(0.164)^a(0.45)^b}{(0.082)^a(0.45)^b}\\\\2=2^a\\a=1$

Thus, the rate law becomes:

$\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2]^1[C_2O_4^{2-}]^2$

All substances taking part in a certain interaction are shown below: Butane is written followed by an addition sign followed by

OverLord2011 [107]

The Law of Conservation of Mass simply states that the total amount of mass should not change in a chemical reaction that is isolated (no other objects can enter the reaction). The total mass of the reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products. Thus, the correct estimate of the amount of oxygen used in the interaction is the difference between 133 g and 29 g.

What is the relationship among solutions solutes and solvents

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Solvents are substances in which solutes dissolves while solutes are substances that dissolve in solvents and solutions result from mixing solvents and solutes.

Explanation:

A solvent is a substance such as water that dissolves a solute.
A solute is a substance that dissolves in a solvent. For example, when sodium chloride dissolves in water, sodium chloride is the solute and water is the solvent.
A solution, on the other hand, results from combining a solute and a solvent. Therefore, a mixture of water and sodium chloride forms the solution.
