Answer:
ai) Rate law,
aii) Rate constant, k = 1.25
b) Overall order of reaction = 1.5
Explanation:
Equation of Reaction:
If , the rate of backward reaction is given by:
k is constant for all the stages
Using the information provided in lines 1 and 2 of the table:
Using the information provided in lines 3 and 4 of the table and insering the value of a:
The rate law is:
The rate constant then becomes:
b) Overall order of reaction = a + b
Overall order of reaction = 1 + 0.5
Overall order of reaction = 1.5
The mass of piece of sterling silver jewelry is 33.24 g. It contains 92.5% silver Ag by mass. Since, sterling silver is an alloy of Ag-Cu thus, percentage of Cu will be:
% Cu=100-92.5=7.5%
Thus, mass of copper will be:
Molar mass of Cu is 63.546 g/mol, thus, number of moles of Cu can be calculated as follows:
Here, m is mass and M is molar mass.
Putting the values,
Now, in 1 mole of Cu there are thus, in 0.03923 mol, number of Cu atoms will be:
Thus, number of atoms of Cu will be.
