Answer:

(1) 0.0016 mol/L

Explanation:

Let the concentration of alcohol after 3.5 hours be y M

The reaction follows a first-order

Rate = ky^0 = change in concentration/time

k = 6.4×10^-5 mol/L.min

Initial concentration = 0.015 M

Concentration after 3.5 hours = y M

Time = 3.5 hours = 3.5×60 = 210 min

6.4×10^-5y^0 = 0.015-y/210

y^0 = 1

0.015-y = 6.4×10^-5 × 210

0.015-y = 0.01344

y = 0.015 - 0.01344 = 0.00156 = 0.0016 mol/L (to 4 decimal places)

Consider the picture of a gas pump. Which type of gasoline has the highest percentage of octane (the main component of gasoline)
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

premium: 91 octane rating

Explanation:

Octane number refers to the percentage or volume fraction of isooctane in a fuel.

The octane number gives a picture of how safe a fuel is for an engine. The higher the octane rating the lesser the tendency of the fuel to cause knocking of the engine.

The type of gasoline with the highest percentage of octane among the options is premium.

A beaker has 0.2 M of Na2SO4. What will be the concentration of sodium and sulfate ions?
netineya [11]

The concentration of sodium and sulphate ions are [Na^+] = 0.4 M, [SO_4^2-] = 0.2 M

Explanation:

The molar concentration is defined as the number of moles of a molecule or an ion in 1 liter of a solution.

In the given solution, the concentration of the salt sodium sulphate is 0.2M. So, 0.2 moles of sodium sulphate is present in 1 liter of solution.

Assuming 100% dissociation,

1 molecule of sodium sulphate gives 2 ions of sodium and 1 ion of sulphate.

So 0.2 moles of sodium sulphate will give 0.4 moles of sodium ions and 0.2 moles of sulphate ions.

Answer:

The answer is: A

Explanation:

The wave-like contractions are to be considered a physical change as they do not take part in the breaking-down of the food. The peptidase is a chemical change because it is used to chemically break down the food to retrieve nutrients and such.

What volume of a 0.160 m solution of koh must be added to 450.0 ml of the acidic solution to completely neutralize all of the ac
inna [77]
An  acidic  solution  is 0.1M  in  HCl  and  0.2  H2so4. volume  is  equal  to  no  of  moles  divided  by  molarity.  
number  of  moles  of  HCl is  450ml x 0.1  divided  by 1000  which is equal  to 0.045 moles
volume  of  HCl   is  therefore  0.45  divided  by  0.16  which  is   2.81  litres

Number  of  moles  of  H2so4  is  450ml x 0.2  divided  by  1000  which  is  equal  to  0.09  moles
volume  of  H2SO4  IS  0.09 divided  by  0.16  which  is  equal  to  0.56 litres

Which of the following statements, if true, would support the claim that the NO3− ion, represented above, has three resonance st
tester [92]

Answer:

One of the bonds in nitrate is shorter than the other two.

Explanation:

We would firstly need to draw the Lewis structure for nitrate anion. To do this, let's follow the standard steps:

  • calculate the total number of valence electrons: five from nitrogen, each oxygen contributes 6, so a total of 18 from oxygen atoms, as well as one from the negative charge, we have a total of 24 valence electrons;
  • assign the central atom, usually this is the atom which is single; in this case, we have nitrogen as our central atom;
  • assign single bonds to all the terminal atoms (oxygen atoms);
  • assign octets to the terminal atoms and calculate the number of electrons assigned;
  • the number of electrons assigned is 24, so no lone pairs are present on nitrogen;
  • calculate the formal charges: each oxygen has a formal charge of -1 (formal charge is calculated subtracting the sum of lone pair electrons and bonds from the number of valence electrons of that atom); nitrogen has a formal charge of +2;
  • nitrogen doesn't have an octet as well, so we'll both minimize its formal charge and make it obtain an octet if we make one double bond N=O.

Therefore, we may have 3 resonance structures, as this double bond might be formed with any of the 3 oxygen atoms.

By definition, double bonds are shorter than single ones, so one of the bonds is shorter than the other two.
