Answer:

a. 8.31 x 10-5 s-1

Explanation:

The general first-order reaction is:

ln[A] = ln[A]₀ -kt

<em>Where [A] is acutal concentration of reactant, initial concentration is [A]₀, k is rate constant and t is time pass</em>

And the equation of the half-life, t 1/2, is:

$t_{1/2} = \frac{ln 2}{K}$

Has half-life is 139min:

139min * (60s / 1min) = 8340s

$t_{1/2} = \frac{ln 2}{8340s}$

Half-life is 8.31x10⁻⁵ s⁻¹

Answer:

In the attached image the Lewis equation is shown where it is shown how two oxygens react with two hydrogens to meet the octet of the electrons.

Explanation:

Hydrogen peroxide is one of the most named chemicals since it is not only sold as "hydrogen peroxide" in pharmacies but it is also one of the great weapons of immune defense cells to defend ourselves against anaerobic bacteria.

The disadvantage of this compound is that when dividing it forms free oxygen radicals that are considered toxic or aging for our body.

A line in the Brackett series of hydrogen has a wavelength of 1945 nm. From what state did the electron originate?

fiasKO [112]

Rydberg Eqn is given as:
1/λ = R [1/n1^2 - 1/n2^2]
<span>Where λ is the wavelength of the light; 2626 nm = 2.626×10^-6 m </span>
<span>R is the Rydberg constant: R = 1.09737×10^7 m-1 </span>
<span>From Brackett series n1 = 4 </span>
<span>Hence 1/(2.626×10^-6 ) = 1.09737× 10^7 [1/4^2 – 1/n2^2] </span>
<span>Some rearranging and collecting up terms: </span>
<span>1 = (2.626×10^-6)×(1.09737× 10^7)[1/16 -1/n2^2] </span>
<span>1= 28.82[1/16 – 1/n2^2] </span>
<span>28.82/n^2 = 1.8011 – 1 = 0.8011 </span>
<span>n^2 = 28.82/0.8011 = 35.98 </span>
<span>n = √(35.98) = 6</span>

Describe how you would prepare exactly 100 mL of 0.109 M picolinate buffer, pH 5.61. Possible starting materials are pure picoli

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

1.342g of picolinic acid and 6.743mL of 1.0M NaOH diluting the mixture to 100.0mL

Explanation:

<em>The pKa of the picolinic acid is 5.4.</em>

Using Henderson-Hasselbalch formula for picolinic-picolinate buffer:

pH = pKa + log [Picolinate] / [Picolinic]

<em>Where [] could be taken as moles of each species</em>

<em />

5.61 = 5.4 + log [Picolinate] / [Picolinic]

0.21 = log [Picolinate] / [Picolinic]

1.62181 = [Picolinate] / [Picolinic] <em>(1)</em>

Now, both picolinate and picolinic acid will be:

0.100L * (0.109mol / L) =

0.0109 moles = [Picolinate] + [Picolinic] <em>(2)</em>

First, as we will start with picolinic acid, we need add:

0.0109 moles picolinic acid * (123.10g/mol) = 1.342g of picolinic acid

Now, replacing (2) in (1):

1.62181 = 0.0109 moles - [Picolinic] / [Picolinic]

1.62181 [Picolinic] = 0.0109 moles - [Picolinic]

2.62181 [Picolinic] = 0.0109 moles

[Picolinic] = 4.157x10⁻³ moles

And:

[Picolinate] = 0.0109 - 4.157x10⁻³ moles =

<h3>6.743x10⁻³ moles</h3><h3 />

To obtain these moles of picolinate ion we need to make the reaction of the picolinic acid with NaOH:

Picolinic acid + NaOH → Picolinate + Water

<em>That means to obtain 6.743x10⁻³ moles of picolinate ion we need to add 6.743x10⁻³ moles of NaOH</em>

<em />

6.743x10⁻³ moles of NaOH that is 1.0M are, in mL:

6.743x10⁻³ moles * (1L / 1mol) = 6.743x10⁻³L * 1000 =

<h3>6.743mL of the 1.0M NaOH must be added</h3><h3 />

Thus, we obtain the desire moles of picolinate and picolinic acid to obtain the buffer we want, the last step is:

<h3>Dilute the mixture to 100mL, the volume we need to prepare</h3>

An amount of solid barium chloride, 20.8 g, is dissolved in 100 g water in a coffee-cup calorimeter by the reaction: BaCl2 (s) 

mamaluj [8]

Answer : The enthalpy change during the reaction is -6.48 kJ/mole

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the heat gained by the reaction.

$q=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

where,

q = heat gained = ?

m = mass of water = 100 g

c = specific heat = $4.04J/g^oC$

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = $26.6^oC$

$T_{initial}$ = initial temperature = $25.0^oC$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$q=100g\times 4.04J/g^oC\times (26.6-25.0)^oC$

$q=646.4J$

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy change during the reaction.

$\Delta H=-\frac{q}{n}$

where,

$\Delta H$ = enthalpy change = ?

q = heat gained = 23.4 kJ

n = number of moles barium chloride = $\frac{\text{Mass of barium chloride}}{\text{Molar mass of barium chloride}}=\frac{20.8g}{208.23g/mol}=0.0998mole$

$\Delta H=-\frac{646.4J}{0.0998mole}=-6476.95J/mole=-6.48kJ/mole$

Therefore, the enthalpy change during the reaction is -6.48 kJ/mole
