Required:
a. What is the rate law of the reaction?
b. What is the rate constant?
Answer:
a. Rate = k×[A]
b. k = 0.213s⁻¹
Explanation:
a. When you are studying the kinetics of a reaction such as:
A + B → Products.
General rate law must be like:
Rate = k×[A]ᵃ[B]ᵇ
You must make experiments change initial concentrations of A and B trying to find k, a and b parameters.
If you see experiments 1 and 3, concentration of A is doubled and the Rate of the reaction is doubled to. That means a = 1
Rate = k×[A]¹[B]ᵇ
In experiment 1 and to the concentration of B change from 1.50M to 2.50M but rate maintains the same. That is only possible if b = 0. (The kinetics of the reaction is indepent to [B]
Rate = k×[A][B]⁰
Rate = k×[A]b. Replacing with values of experiment 1 (You can do the same with experiment 3 obtaining the same) k is:
Rate = k×[A]
0.320M/s = k×[1.50M]

a. the catalyst is removed
b. the temp is increased
c. the volume is decreased
d. helium is added
e. CO is added
Answer:
a. Methanol remains the same
b. Methanol decreases
c. Methanol increases
d. Methanol remains the same
e. Methanol increases
Explanation:
Methanol is produced by the reaction of carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst as follows; 2H2+CO→CH3OH.
a) The presence or absence of a catalyst makes no difference on the equilibrium position of the system hence the methanol remains constant.
b) The amount of methanol decreases because the equilibrium position shifts towards the left and more reactants are formed since the reaction is exothermic.
c) If the volume is decreased, there will be more methanol in the system because the equilibrium position will shift towards the right hand side.
d) Addition of helium gas has no effect on the equilibrium position since it does not participate in the reaction system.
e) if more CO is added the amount of methanol increases since the equilibrium position will shift towards the right hand side.
Will a precipitate (ppt) form when 20.0 mL of 1.1 × 10 –3 M Ba(NO 3) 2 are added to 80.0 mL of 8.4 × 10 –4 M Na 2CO 3?
Answer:
A precipitate will form, BaCO₃
Explanation:
When Ba²⁺ and CO₃²⁻ ions are in an aqueous media, BaCO₃(s), a precipitate, is produced following its Ksp expression:
Ksp = 5.1x10⁻⁹ = [Ba²⁺] [CO₃²⁻]
Where the concentrations of the ions are the concentrations in equilibrium
For actual concentrations of a solution, you can define Q, reaction quotient, as:
Q = [Ba²⁺] [CO₃²⁻]
If Q > Ksp, the ions will react producing BaCO₃, if not, no precipitate will form.
Actual concentrations of Ba²⁺ and CO₃²⁻ are:
[Ba²⁺] = [Ba(NO₃)₂] = 1.1x10⁻³ × (20.0mL / 100.0mL) = 2.2x10⁻⁴M
[CO₃²⁻] = [Na₂CO₃] = 8.4x10⁻⁴ × (80.0mL / 100.0mL) = 6.72x10⁻⁴M
100.0mL is the volume of the mixture of the solutions
Replacing in Q expression:
Q = [Ba²⁺] [CO₃²⁻]
Q = [2.2x10⁻⁴M] [6.72x10⁻⁴M]
Q = 1.5x10⁻⁷
As Q > Ksp
A precipitate will form, BaCO₃

A gas within a piston–cylinder assembly undergoes an isothermal process at 400 K during which the change in entropy is −0.3 kJ/K. Assuming the ideal gas model for the gas and negligible kinetic and potential energy effects, evaluate the work, in kJ.
Answer:
W = -120 KJ
Explanation:
Since the piston–cylinder assembly undergoes an isothermal process, then the temperature is constant.
Thus; T1 = T2 = 400K
change in entropy; ΔS = −0.3 kJ/K
Formula for change in entropy is written as;
ΔS = Q/T
Where Q is amount of heat transferred.
Thus;
Q = ΔS × T
Q = -0.3 × 400
Q = -120 KJ
From the first law of thermodynamics, we can find the workdone from;
Q = ΔU + W
Where;
ΔU is Change in the internal energy
W = Work done
Now, since it's an ideal gas model, the change in internal energy is expressed as;
ΔU = m•C_v•ΔT
Where;
m is mass
C_v is heat capacity at constant volume
ΔT is change in temperature
Now, since it's an isothermal process where temperature is constant, then;
ΔT = T2 - T1 = 0
Thus;
ΔU = m•C_v•ΔT = 0
ΔU = 0
From earlier;
Q = ΔU + W
Thus;
-120 = 0+ W
W = -120 KJ

Calculate [OH-] given [H3O+] in each aqueous solution and classify the solution as acidic or basic. [H3O+] = 2.6 x 10-8 M
Answer:
To calculate the [OH-] in the solution we must first find the pOH
That's
pH + pOH = 14
pOH = 14 - pH
First to find the pH we use the formula
pH = - log [H3O+]From the question
[H3O+]= 2.6 × 10^-8 M
pH = - log 2.6 × 10^-8
pH = 7.6
pH = 8
So we pOH is
pOH = 14 - 8 = 6
To find the [OH-] we use the formula
pOH = - log [OH-]6 = - log [OH-]
Find antilog of both sides
[OH-] = 1.0 × 10^-6 MThe solution is slightly basic since it's pH is in the basic region and slightly above the neutral point 7

Assume you dissolve 0.235 g of the weak benzoic acid, C6H5CO2H in enough water to make 100.0 mL of the solution and then titrate the solution with 0.108 M NaOH. Benzoic acid is a monoprotic acid.
1. What is the pH of the original benzoic acid solution before the titration is started?
2. What is the pH when 7.00 mL of the base is added? (Hint: This is in the buffer region.)
3. What is the pH at the equivalence point?
Answer:
1. pH = 2.98
2. pH = 4.02
3. pH = 8.12
Explanation:
1. Initial molarity of benzoic acid (Molar mass: 122.12g/mol; Ka = 6.14x10⁻⁵) is:
0.235 ₓ (1mol / 122.12g) = 1.92x10⁻³ moles / 0.100L = 0.01924M
The equilibrium of benzoic acid with water is:
C6H5CO2H(aq) + H2O(l) → C6H5O-(aq) + H3O+(aq)
And Ka is defined as the ratio between equilibrium concentrations of products over reactants, thus:
Ka = 6.14x10⁻⁵ = [C6H5O⁻] [H3O⁺] / [C6H5CO2H]
The benzoic acid will react with water until reach equilibrium. And equilibrium concentrations will be:
[C6H5CO2H] = 0.01924 - X
[C6H5O⁻] = X
[H3O⁺] = X
Replacing in Ka:
6.14x10⁻⁵ = [X] [X] / [0.01924 - X]
1.1815x10⁻⁶ - 6.14x10⁻⁵X = X²
1.1815x10⁻⁶ - 6.14x10⁻⁵X - X² = 0
Solving for X:
X = -0.0010→ False solution. There is no negative concentrations
X = 0.0010567M → Right solution.
pH = - log [H3O⁺] and as [H3O⁺] = X:
pH = - log [0.0010567M]
pH = 2.982.
pH of a buffer is determined using H-H equation (For benzoic acid:
pH = pka + log [C6H5O⁻] / [C6H5OH]
pKa = -log Ka = 4.21 and [] could be understood as moles of each chemical
The benzoic acid reacts with NaOH as follows:
C6H5OH + NaOH → C6H5O⁻ + Na⁺ + H₂O
That means NaOH added = Moles C6H5O⁻ And C6H5OH = Initial moles (1.92x10⁻³ moles - Moles NaOH added)
7.00mL of NaOH 0.108M are:
7x10⁻³L ₓ (0.108 mol / L) = 7.56x10⁻⁴ moles NaOH = Moles C₆H₅O⁻
And moles C6H5OH = 1.92x10⁻³ moles - 7.56x10⁻⁴ moles = 1.164x10⁻³ moles C₆H₅OH
Replacing in H-H equation:
pH = 4.21 + log [7.56x10⁻⁴ moles] / [ 1.164x10⁻³ moles]
pH = 4.023. At equivalence point, all C6H5OH reacts producing C6H5O⁻. The moles are 1.164x10⁻³ moles
Volume of NaOH to reach equivalence point:
1.164x10⁻³ moles ₓ (1L / 0.108mol) = 0.011L. As initial volume was 0.100L, In equivalence point volume is 0.111L and concentration of C₆H₅O⁻ is:
1.164x10⁻³ moles / 0.111L = 0.01049M
Equilibrium of C₆H₅O⁻ with water is:
C₆H₅O⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₅OH(aq) + OH⁻(aq)
Kb = [C₆H₅OH] [OH⁻]/ [C₆H₅O⁻]
Kb = kw / Ka = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 6.14x10⁻⁵ = 1.63x10⁻¹⁰
Equilibrium concentrations of the species are:
C₆H₅O⁻ = 0.01049M - X
C₆H₅OH = X
OH⁻ = X
Replacing in Kb expression:
1.63x10⁻¹⁰ = X² / 0.01049- X
1.71x10⁻¹² - 1.63x10⁻¹⁰X - X² = 0
Solving for X:
X = -1.3x10⁻⁶ → False solution
X = 1.3076x10⁻⁶ → Right solution
[OH⁻] = 1.3076x10⁻⁶
as pOH = -log [OH⁻]
pOH = 5.88
And pH = 14 - pOH
pH = 8.12What is the density of a 10 kg mass that occupies 5 liters?

Most naturally occurring oxygen (O) isA. oxygen-16 B. oxygen-18 C. oxygen-15 D. oxygen-17
Option A is correct. Oxygen-16 occurs most naturally among these isotopes.
The three stable isotopes that make up natural oxygen are O-16, O-17, and 0-18, with O-16 having the highest natural abundance (99.762%). The standard atomic weight ranges between [15.99903, 15.99977], depending on the terrestrial source .
Oxygen-16 (16O) is a stable oxygen isotope with 8 neutrons and 8 protons in its nucleus. Its mass is 15.99491461956 u. Oxygen-16 is the most abundant isotope of oxygen, accounting for 99.762% of natural oxygen abundance. 16O has a high relative and absolute abundance because it is a primary product of stellar evolution and a primordial isotope, which means it can be produced by stars that were originally made entirely of hydrogen. The majority of 16O is produced in stars at the end of the helium fusion process; the triple-alpha process produces 12C, which catches an additional 4He to produce 16O. The process of burning neon generates an additional 16O. Oxygen-16 is twice as powerful.

If 0.963 g of methane react with 7.5 g of oxygen the first step is to identify the limiting reactant for which we compute the available moles of methane and the moles of methane consumed by the 7.5 g of oxygen:
[tex]n_{CH_4}=0.963gCH_4*\frac{1molCH_4}{16gCH_4}=0.0602molCH_4\\ \\n_{CH_4}^{consumed}=7.5gO_2*\frac{1molO_2}{32gO_2}*\frac{1molCH_4}{2molO_2} =0.117molCH_4[/tex]
Thus, since oxygen theoretically consumes more methane than the available, we conclude the methane is the limiting reactant, for which it will be completely consumed, therefore, no remaining methane will be left over.
