10. At 573K, NO2(g) decomposes forming NO and O2. The decomposition reaction is second order in NO2 with a rate constant of 1.1 M-1s-1. If the initial concentration of NO2 is 0.056 M, how long will it take for 75% of the NO2 to decompose

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

48.67 seconds

Explanation:

From;

1/[A] = kt + 1/[A]o

[A] = concentration at time t

t= time taken

k= rate constant

[A]o = initial concentration

Since [A] =[A]o - 0.75[A]o

[A] = 0.056 M - 0.042 M

[A] = 0.014 M

1/0.014 = (1.1t) + 1/0.056

71.4 - 17.86 = 1.1t

53.54 = 1.1t

t= 53.54/1.1

t= 48.67 seconds

Hence,it takes 48.67 seconds to decompose.

Melanie has completed the analysis of her data for the reaction of KMnO4 with malonic acid and data for a reaction of KMnO4 with tartaric acid. She compared the activation energies, Ea, she calculated for the two reactions and found the Ea for the malonic acid reaction to be greater than the Ea for the tartaric acid reaction.

Required:
What does this mean about the magnitude of the rate constant, k, and the rate of the reaction?

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The relationship between the activation energy and rate of reaction is best captured by the Arrhenius equation;

k= Ae^-Ea/RT

Where;

k= rate constant

A= pre-exponential factor

Ea=activation energy

R= gas constant

T= temperature

We can see from the foregoing that, as the activation energy increases, the rate of reaction decreases and vice versa. reactions that have a very high activation energy are markedly slow.

Since the activation energy for the malonic acid reaction is found to be greater than the activation energy for the tartaric acid reaction, then the rate of the malonic acid reaction(k) will be slower than that of the tartaric acid reaction.

The study of chemistry and bonds is called chemistry. There are two types of elements metal and nonmetals.

Ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) is mixed with water to make auto engine coolants. How many grams of C2H6O2 are in 5.00 L of a 6.00 M aqueous solution

Answers

Answer:

1860g.

Explanation:

It is known that the molar mass of C2H6O2 is 62.08 g/mol.,

Now to  solve for the number of moles of solute, one must multiply both

sides by the volume:

moles of solute = (6.00 M)(5.00 L) = 30.0 mol

Notice since the definition of molarity is mol/L, the

product M × L gives mol, a unit of amount.

Use the molar  mass of C3H8O3, one can convert mol to g:

Mass m =30 mol × 62.08 g/mol

m = 1860g.

Hence, there are 1,860 g of C2H6O2 in the specified amount of

engine coolant.

g A high altitude balloon is filled with 1.41 x 104 L of hydrogen gas (H2) at a temperature of 21oC and a pressure of 745 torr. What is the volume of the balloon at a height of 20 km, where the temperature is -48oC and the pressure is 63.1 torr

Answers

Answer:

1.27 × 10⁵ L

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Initial pressure (P₁): 745 TorrInitial volume (V₁): 1.41 × 10⁴ LInital temperature (T₁): 21 °CFinal pressure (P₂): 63.1 TorrFinal volume (V₂): ?Final temperature (T₂): -48 °C

Step 2: Convert the temperatures to the Kelvin scale

We will use the following expression.

K = °C + 273.15

K = 21 °C + 273.15 = 294 K

K = -48 °C + 273.15 = 225 K

Step 3: Calculate the final volume of the balloon

We will use the combined gas law.

P₁ × V₁ / T₁ = P₂ × V₂ / T₂

V₂ = P₁ × V₁ × T₂/ T₁ × P₂

V₂ = 745 Torr × 1.41 × 10⁴ L × 225 K/ 294 K × 63.1 Torr

V₂ = 1.27 × 10⁵ L

A hypothetical A-B alloy of composition 53 wt% B-47 wt% A at some temperature is found to consist of mass fractions of 0.5 for both and phases. If the composition of the phase is 92 wt% B-8 wt% A, what is the composition of the phase

Answers

Answer:

the composition of the ∝ phase C∝ = 14  or [ 14 wt% B-86 wt% A ]

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Co = 53 or [ 53 wt% B-47 wt% A ]

W∝ = 0.5 = Wβ

Cβ = 92 or [ 92 wt% B-8 wt% A ]

Now, lets set up the Lever rule for W∝ as follows;

W∝ = [ Cβ - Co ] / [ Cβ - C∝ ]

so we substitute our given values into the expression;

0.5 = [ 92 - 53 ] / [ 92 - C∝ ]

0.5 = 39 /  [ 92 - C∝ ]

0.5[ 92 - C∝ ] = 39

46 - 0.5C∝  = 39

0.5C∝ = 46 - 39

0.5C∝ = 7

C∝ = 7 / 0.5

C∝ = 14  or [ 14 wt% B-86 wt% A ]

Therefore, the composition of the ∝ phase C∝ = 14  or [ 14 wt% B-86 wt% A ]

Given that:

The volume of the plastic block submerged inside the water  = 0.5 V

The force on the plastic block  = [tex]\rho_1V_1g[/tex]

[tex]= 0.5p_1 V_g[/tex]

when the block is floating, the weight supporting the force (buoyancy force) is:

W [tex]= 0.5p_1 V_g[/tex]

[tex]\rho Vg = 0.5p_1 V_g[/tex]

[tex]\rho = 0.5 \rho _1[/tex]

where;

water density [tex]\rho _1[/tex] = 1000

c. Determine a pH at which 50% of CH3CH2NH+3 will be in a form that possesses a charge.
d. Determine a pH at which pH more than 99% of CH3CH2NH+3 will be in a form that possesses a charge.

Answers

Answer:

a. 2..86 b. 4.86 c. 10.7 d. 8.7

Explanation:

a. Determine a pH at which 50% of ClCH2COOH will be in a form that possesses a charge.

Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,

pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]

where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base (or charged form) and [HA] = concentration of acid.

At 50% concentration, [A⁻] = [HA] ⇒ [A⁻]/[HA] = 1

So, pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]

pH = pKa + log1

pH = pKa = 2.86

b. Determine a pH at which pH more than 99% of ClCH2COOH will be in a form that possesses a charge.

Let x be the concentration of the acid. Since 99% of it should possess a charge, the basic concentration is 0.99x while the acidic concentration is remaining 1 % (1 - 0.99)x = 0.01x

Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,

pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA] where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base (or charged form) = 0.99x and [HA] = concentration of acid = 0.01x.

pH = pKa + log0.99x/0.01x

pH = pKa + log0.99/0.01

pH = 2.86 + log99

pH = 2.86 + 1.996

pH = 4.856

pH ≅ 4.86

c. Determine a pH at which 50% of CH3CH2NH+3 will be in a form that possesses a charge.

Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,

pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]

where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base and [HA] = concentration of acid.

At 50% concentration, [A⁻] = [HA] ⇒ [A⁻]/[HA] = 1

So, pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]

pH = pKa + log1

pH = pKa = 10.7

d. Determine a pH at which pH more than 99% of CH3CH2NH+3 will be in a form that possesses a charge.

Let x be the concentration of the acid. Since 99% of it should possess a charge, the basic concentration is 0.01x while the acidic concentration is remaining 99 % (1 - 0.01)x = 0.99x (which possesses the charge).

Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation,

pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA] where [A⁻] = concentration of conjugate base = 0.01x and [HA] = concentration of acid = 0.99x.

pH = pKa + log0.01x/0.99x

pH = pKa + log1/99

pH = 10.7 - log99

pH = 10.7 - 1.996

pH = 8.704

pH ≅ 8.7

Sometimes in lab we collect the gas formed by a chemical reaction over water . This makes it easy to isolate and measure the amount of gas produced.
Suppose the CO, gas evolved by a certain chemical reaction taking place at 50.0°C is collected over water, using an apparatus something like that in the sketch, and the final volume of gas in the collection tube is measured to be 132. mL. Calculate the mass of CO, that is in the collection tube. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answers

Answer:

0.17 g

Explanation:

Since the volume of gas collected is 132 mL, we need to find the number of moles of gas present in 132 mL.

So, number of moles, n = volume of gas, v/molar volume, V

n = v/V where v = 132 mL = 0.132 L and V = 22.4 L

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

n = v/V

n = 0.132 L/22.4 L

n = 0.005893 mol

We then need to calculate the molar mass of CO, M = atomic mass of carbon + atomic mass of oxygen = 12 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 28 g/mol

Also, number of moles of gas, n = m/M where m = mass of CO and M = molar mass of CO

m = nM

m = 0.005893 mol × 28 g/mol

m = 0.165004 g

m ≅ 0.17 g to 2 significant digits

What is an exothermic and endothermic reaction?

An exothermic reaction can be described as a thermodynamic chemical reaction that emits energy from the system to its surroundings usually in the form of light, heat, or sound.

While an endothermic reaction can be described as an opposite of an exothermic reaction where the energy gains in the form of heat. In exothermic chemical reactions, the bond energy is transformed into thermal energy.

In exothermic reactions, the reaction happens the form of the kinetic energy of molecules when the energy is released. The release of energy is due to the electronic transition of electrons from one energy level to another.

The burning of gasoline, and water condensation is also an exothermic reaction in which energy is released while ice melting and baking cake is an endothermic reaction.

42 Organic compound may have names ending in -ane, -ene, -ol or -oic acid. How many of these endings indicate the compounds contain double bonds in their molecules? * (1 Point)​

Answers

Answer: Organic compounds ending with the name (-ene) indicate that the compounds contain double bonds in their molecules.

Explanation:

Organic compounds are those molecules that contains carbon atoms (as their main element), hydrogen and oxygen which are usually present. The presence of numerous organic compounds is due to the following properties of carbon:

--> the exceptional ability of carbon atoms to catenate, that is, to combine with one another to form straight chains, branched chains or ring compounds containing many carbon atoms.

--> The ease with which carbon combines with hydrogen, oxygen, Nitrogen and halogens

--> The ability of carbon atoms to form single, DOUBLE or triple bonds.

The organic compound that has the name ending with -ene are known as the alkenes. The members of the alkene series are formed from the alkanes by the removal of two hydrogen atoms and the introduction of a DOUBLE BOND in the carbon chain. They are named after the corresponding alkanes by changing the -ane ending to -ene.

Note: the systematic name of a compound is formed from the root hydrocarbon by adding a suffix and prefixes to denote the substitution of the hydrogen atoms.

These are the words of the Admiral.
