A particular reactant decomposes with a half‑life of 109 s when its initial concentration is 0.280 M. The same reactant decompos
Sophie [7]

Answer:

The order of reaction is 2.

Rate constant is 0.0328 (M s)⁻¹

Explanation:

The rate of a reaction is inversely proportional to the time taken for the reaction.

As we are decreasing the concentration of the reactant the half life is increasing.

a) For zero order reaction: the half life is directly proportional to initial concentration of reactant

b) for first order reaction: the half life is independent of the initial concentration.

c) higher order reaction: The relation between half life and rate of reaction is:

Rate = \frac{1}{k[A_{0}]^{(n-1)}}

Half life =K\frac{1}{[A_{0}]^{(n-1)} }

\frac{(halflife_{1})}{(halflife_{2})}=\frac{[A_{2}]^{(n-1)}}{[A_{1}]^{(n-1)} }

where n = order of reaction

Putting values

\frac{109}{231}=\frac{[0.132]^{(n-1)}}{[0.280]^{(n-1)}}

0.472=(0.472)^{(n-1)}

Hence n = 2

halflife=\frac{1}{k[A_{0}]}

Putting values

231=\frac{1}{K(0.132)}

K = 0.0328

The rate of a hypothetical reaction involving L and M is found to double when the concentration of L is doubled and to increase
Semmy [17]

Answer: Rate=k[L]^1[M]^2

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

L+M\rightarrow products

Rate=k[L]^x[M]^y  (1)

k= rate constant

x = order with respect to L

y = order with respect to M

n =( x+y)= Total order

a)  If [L] is doubled, the reaction rate will increase by a factor of 2:

2\times Rate=k[2L]^x[M]^y   (2)

b)  If [M] is doubled, the reaction rate will increase by a factor of 4:

4\times Rate=k[L]^x[2M]^y   (3)

Dividing 2 by 1:

\frac{2\times Rate}{Rate}=\frac{k[2L]^x[M]^y}{k[L]^x[M]^y}

2=2^x

x=1

Dividing 3 by 1

\frac{4\times Rate}{Rate}=\frac{k[L]^x[2M]^y}{k[L]^x[M]^y}

4=2^y

2^2=2^y

y=2

Thus rate law is: k[L]^1[M]^2

A compound contains 38.7% K, 13.9% N, and 47.4% O by mass. What is the empirical formula of the compound?
inysia [295]
K ---> 38.7 g / 39.1 g/mol = 0.99
N ---> 13.9 g / 14.0 g/mol = 0.99
O ---> 47.4 g / 16.0 g/mol = 2.96

Divide by smallest:

K ---> 0.99 / 0.99 = 1
N ---> 0.99 / 0.99 = 1
O ---> 2.96 / 0.99 = 3
