Answer:

Calcium atoms have smaller radii than potassium atoms since calcium atoms have a greater nuclear charge. Each calcium atom will be closer to the delocalized electrons. Thus, the bonds in calcium will be stronger than that in potassium.

Leya [2.2K]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

The rate constant of a certain reaction is known to obey the Arrhenius equation, and to have an activation energy Ea = 71.0 kJ/mol . If the rate constant of this reaction is 6.7 M^(-1)*s^(-1) at 244.0 degrees Celsius, what will the rate constant be at 324.0 degrees Celsius?

Answer: The rate constant at 324°C is $61.29M^{-1}s^{-1}$

Explanation:

To calculate rate constant at two different temperatures of the reaction, we use Arrhenius equation, which is:

$\ln(\frac{K_{324^oC}}{K_{244^oC}})=\frac{E_a}{R}[\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]$

where,

$K_{244^oC}$ = equilibrium constant at 244°C = $6.7M^{-1}s^{-1}$

$K_{324^oC}$ = equilibrium constant at 324°C = ?

$E_a$ = Activation energy = 71.0 kJ/mol = 71000 J/mol (Conversion factor: 1 kJ = 1000 J)

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

$T_1$ = initial temperature = $244^oC=[273+244]K=517K$

$T_2$ = final temperature = $324^oC=[273+324]K=597K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\ln(\frac{K_{324^oC}}{6.7})=\frac{71000J}{8.314J/mol.K}[\frac{1}{517}-\frac{1}{597}]\\\\K_{324^oC}=61.29M^{-1}s^{-1}$

Hence, the rate constant at 324°C is $61.29M^{-1}s^{-1}$

You shake a can of soda and open it, which cause the pressure to decrease. what happens to the volume of the CO2. the soda

navik [9.2K]

Answer: When you take the top off of a bottle of soda, the pressure inside the bottle decreases and goes to the same pressure as the atmosphere. When that happens the carbon dioxide inside is no longer forced to be a liquid and turns back into a gas, causing the bubbles that we're so familiar with.

Explanation:

However, producing foaming carbon dioxide gas by shaking a bottle of soda water is a physical change, while producing foaming carbon dioxide gas by combining baking soda and vinegar is a chemical change. ... Because no chemical bonds are broken and no new molecules are formed, this is a physical change in the system.

1(a). What is the solubility of calcium chloride (CaCl2) at 5°C?

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

60 g/100 g water

Explanation:

Find 5 °C on the horizontal axis.

Draw a line vertically from that point until you reach the solubility curve for CaCl₂.

Then draw a horizontal line from there to the vertical axis.

The solubility of CaCl₂ is 60 g/100 g water.
