When cream mixes with coffee, is this a chemical or physical change?

svlad2 [7]

It is a physical change when cream mixes with coffee, it changes the color of the coffee. When you add more or less cream there is a color change depending on the consistency of cream. The properties are not changes and a no new compound is formed as in chemical change with a reaction of two compounds, a new compound is formed with different properties. So it is a physical change.

When the concentration of A in the reaction A ..... B was changed from 1.20 M to 0.60 M, the half-life increased from 2.0 min to

Reika [66]

Answer:

$0.4167\ \text{M}^{-1}\text{min}^{-1}$

Explanation:

Half-life

${t_{1/2}}A=2\ \text{min}$

${t_{1/2}}B=4\ \text{min}$

Concentration

${[A]_0}_A=1.2\ \text{M}$

${[A]_0}_B=0.6\ \text{M}$

We have the relation

$t_{1/2}\propto \dfrac{1}{[A]_0^{n-1}}$

$\dfrac{{t_{1/2}}_A}{{t_{1/2}}_B}=\left(\dfrac{{[A]_0}_B}{{[A]_0}_A}\right)^{n-1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{4}=\left(\dfrac{0.6}{1.2}\right)^{n-1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}=\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{n-1}$

Comparing the exponents we get

$1=n-1\\\Rightarrow n=2$

The order of the reaction is 2.

$t_{1/2}=\dfrac{1}{k[A]_0^{n-1}}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{1}{t_{1/2}[A]_0^{n-1}}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{1}{2\times 1.2^{2-1}}\\\Rightarrow k=0.4167\ \text{M}^{-1}\text{min}^{-1}$
