<span>Pentane has a boiling point of 36.1 C, while isopentane boils at 27.7C. Neopentane has the lowest boiling point at 9.5 C. Therefore from highest to lowest boiling points, it is pentane, isopentane, and neopentane.</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>1) Rate law, at a given temperature:</u>
- 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
<u>2) Use the data from the table</u>
- 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
<u>3) Write the rate law</u>
This means, that the rate is independent of reactant B and is of first order respect reactant A.
<u>4) Use any set of data to find K</u>
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
I would say A.evaporate because the water is getting absorbed.
To calculate the mass of Fe formed in a) we get first the limiting reactant between Fe2O3 and CO. Given the masses, the ratio of Fe2O3 is 1.33 while that of CO is 1.67. Hence the limiting reagent is Fe2O3. The mass of Fe formed is 148.98 grams. In b, the needed CO is only 112.04 grams. Hence, the excess is 27. 96 grams.
