Consider the reaction given below.

Drupady [299]

Answer:

K = 0.167 s⁻¹

Explanation:

1) Rate law, at a given temperature:

Since all the data are obtained at the same temperature, the equilibrium constant is the same.

Since only reactants A and B participate in the reaction, you assume that the form of the rate law is:

r = K [A]ᵃ [B]ᵇ

2) Use the data from the table

Since the first and second set of data have the same concentration of the reactant A, you can use them to find the exponent b:

r₁ = (1.50)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s

r₂ = (1.50)ᵃ (2.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s

Divide r₂ by r₁: [ 2.50 / 1.50] ᵇ = 1 ⇒ b = 0

Use the first and second set of data to find the exponent a:

r₁ = (1.50)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s

r₃ = (3.00)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 5.00 × 10⁻¹ M/s

Divide r₃ by r₂: [3.00 / 1.50]ᵃ = [5.00 / 2.50]

2ᵃ = 2 ⇒ a = 1

3) Write the rate law

r = K [A]¹ [B]⁰ = K[A]

This means, that the rate is independent of reactant B and is of first order respect reactant A.

4) Use any set of data to find K

With the first set of data

r = K (1.50 M) = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s ⇒ K = 0.250 M/s / 1.50 M = 0.167 s⁻¹

Result: the rate constant is K = 0.167 s⁻¹

In which of the following compounds does the carbonyl stretch in the IR spectrum occur at the lowest wavenumber?

klio [65]

Answer:

a. Cyclohexanone

Explanation:

The principle of IR technique is based on the vibration of the bonds by using the energy that is in this region of the electromagnetic spectrum. For each bond, there is a specific energy that generates a specific vibration. In this case, you want to study the vibration that is given in the carbonyl group C=O. Which is located around 1700 cm-1.

Now, we must remember that the lower the wavenumber we will have less energy. So, what we should look for in these molecules, is a carbonyl group in which less energy is needed to vibrate since we look for the molecule with a smaller wavenumber.

If we look at the structure of all the molecules we will find that in the last three we have heteroatoms (atoms different to carbon I hydrogen) on the right side of the carbonyl group. These atoms allow the production of resonance structures which makes the molecule more stable. If the molecule is more stable we will need more energy to make it vibrate and therefore greater wavenumbers.

The molecule that fulfills this condition is the cyclohexanone.
