Answer:

$\%\ Composition\ of\ iron=69.92\ \%$

Explanation:

Percent composition is percentage by the mass of element present in the compound.

The formula for chromium(III) nitrate is $Cr(NO_3)_3$

Molar mass of chromium(III) nitrate = 238.011 g/mol

1 mole of chromium(III) nitrate contains 9 moles of oxygen

Molar mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol

So, Mass= Molar mass*Moles = 16*9 g = 144 g

$\%\ Composition\ of\ iron=\frac{Mass_{iron}}{Total\ mass}\times 100$

$\%\ Composition\ of\ iron=\frac{144}{238.011}\times 100$

$\%\ Composition\ of\ iron=69.92\ \%$

The reaction 2NO + O2 → 2NO2 is third order. Assuming that a small amount of NO3 exists in rapid reversible equilibrium with NO

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The equation for the rate of this reaction is R = [NO] + {O2}

Explanation:

The rate-determining step of a reaction is the slowest step of a chemical reaction which determines the rate (speed) at which the overall reaction would take place.

Reaction mechanism:

The slow and fast reactions both have NO3 which is cancelled out on both sides, in order to get the overall reaction.

The rate law for this reaction would be that for the rate determining step:

R = [NO] + {O2}

In a hydrogen fuel cell, hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are combined to form water. Write the balanced chemical equation describing

xxTIMURxx [149]

<u>Answer:</u> The chemical reaction is given below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A fuel cell is defined as the electrochemical cell which converts the chemical energy of a fuel (often used hydrogen) and an oxidizing agent (often used oxygen) into electrical energy via a pair of redox reactions.

The reactions which occur in hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell are:

At cathode: $H_2+2OH^-\rightarrow 2H_2O+2e^-$

At anode: $\frac{1}{2}O_2+H_2O+2e^-\rightarrow 2OH^-$

Net reaction: $H_2+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow H_2O$

Thus, the chemical reaction is given above.

The unsaturated hydrocarbon butadiene (C4H6) dimerizes to 4-vinylcyclohexene (C8H12). When data collected in studies of the kine

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The dimerization of butadiene to 4-vinylcyclohexene folows second order kinetics and its rate law will be given by :

$R=k[C_4H_6]^2$

Explanation:

$2C_4H_6\rightarrow C_8H_{12}$

The rate of the reaction ;

$R=k[C_4H_6]^x$

As given in the question , that graph of time verses $\frac{1}{[C_4H_6]}$ was linear but plots of $[C_4H_6]$ or $\ln[C_4H_6]$ was curved.

Generally:

Graph of time verses $[concentration]$ for zero order reaction is linear with negative slope.

Graph of time verses $\ln [concentration]$ for secon order reaction is linear with negative slope.

Graph of time verses $\frac{1}{[concentration]}$ for secon order reaction is linear with positive slope.

So, the dimerization of butadiene to 4-vinylcyclohexene folows second order kinetics and its rate law will be given by :

$R=k[C_4H_6]^2$

Oxyacetylene torches produce such high temperature that they are often used to weld and cut metal. When 1.53 g of acetylene (C2H

hodyreva [135]

Answer: $4403kJ/mole$

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the heat absorbed by bomb calorimeter

Formula used :

$q_b=c_b\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

$q_b$ = heat absorbed by calorimeter = ?

$c_b$ = specific heat of = 10.69 kJ/K

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = $44.688^oC=(273+44.688)K=317.688K$

$T_{initial}$ = initial temperature = $20.486^oC=(273+20.486)K=293.486K$

$q_b=10.69kJ/K\times (317.688-293.486)=258.7kJ$

As heat absorbed by calorimeter is equal to the heat released by acetylene during combustion.

Thus 1.53 gram of acetylene releases heat of combustion = 258.7kJ

So, 26.04 g/mole of acetylene releases heat of combustion $\frac{258.7}{1.53}\times 26.04=4403kJ/mole$

Therefore, the heat of combustion of acetylene is, $4403kJ/mole$
