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.

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.

If 1.50 μg of co and 6.80 μg of h2 were added to a reaction vessel, and the reaction went to completion, how many gas particles
Vlada [557]
To determine the number of gas particles in the vessel we add all of the components of the gas. For this, we need to convert the mass to moles by the molar mass. Then, from moles to molecules by the avogadro's number.

1.50x10^-6 ( 1 / 28.01) (6.022x10^23) = 3.22x10^16 molecules CO


6.80x10^-6 ( 1 / 2.02) (6.022x10^23) = 2.03x10 18 molecules H2

Totol gas particles = 2.05x10^18 molecules

During a lab experiment performed at STP conditions, you prepare HCl by reacting 100. ml of Cl2 gas with an excess of H2 gas.
Brrunno [24]

Answer: 19.4 mL Ba(OH)2

Explanation:

H2(g) + Cl2(g) --> 2HCl(aq) (make sure this equation is balanced first)

At STP, 1 mol gas = 22.4 L gas. Use this conversion factor to convert the 100. mL of Cl2 to moles.

0.100 L Cl2 • (1 mol / 22.4 L) = 0.00446 mol Cl2

Use the mole ratio of 2 mol HCl for every 1 mol Cl2 to find moles of HCl produced.

0.00446 mol Cl2 • (2 mol HCl / 1 mol Cl2) = 0.00892 mol HCl

HCl is a strong acid and Ba(OH)2 is a strong base so both will completely ionize to release H+ and OH- respectively. You need 0.00892 mol OH- to neutralize all of the HCl. Note that one mole of Ba(OH)2 contains 2 moles of OH-.

0.00892 mol OH- • (1 mol Ba(OH)2 / 2 mol OH-) • (1 L Ba(OH)2 / 0.230 M Ba(OH)2) = 0.0194 L = 19.4 mL Ba(OH)2

How many grams of NO are required to produce 145 g of N2 in the following reaction?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

b. 186 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation.

4 NH₃(g) + 6 NO(g) → 5 N₂(g) + 6 H₂O(l)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 145 g of N₂

The molar mass of nitrogen is 28.01 g/mol.

145g \times \frac{1mol}{28.01 g} =5.18 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of NO required to produce 5.18 moles of N₂

The molar ratio of NO to N₂ is 6:5.

5.18molN_2 \times \frac{6molNO}{5molN_2} = 6.22molNO

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 6.22 moles of NO

The molar mass of NO is 30.01 g/mol.

6.22mol \times \frac{30.01g}{mol} =186 g

Use the following half-reactions to design a voltaic cell: Sn4+(aq) + 2 e− → Sn2+(aq) Eo = 0.15 V Ag+(aq) + e−→ Ag(s) Eo = 0.80
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

E° = 0.65 V

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reductions and their respective standard reduction potentials.

Sn⁴⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ → Sn²⁺(aq) E°red = 0.15 V

Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ → Ag(s) E°red = 0.80 V

The reaction with the highest reduction potential will occur as a reduction while the other will occur as an oxidation. The corresponding half-reactions are:

Reduction (cathode): Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ → Ag(s) E°red = 0.80 V

Oxidation (anode): Sn²⁺(aq) → Sn⁴⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ E°red = 0.15 V

The overall cell potential (E°) is the difference between the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard reduction potential of the anode.

E° = E°red, cat - E°red, an = 0.80 V - 0.15 V = 0.65 V

For the reaction n2(g) + 2h2(g) â n2h4(l), if the percent yield for this reaction is 77.5%, what is the actual mass of hydrazine
Rudiy27

First calculate the moles of N2 and H2 reacted.

moles N2 = 27.7 g / (28 g/mol) = 0.9893 mol

moles H2 = 4.45 g / (2 g/mol) = 2.225 mol

 

We can see that N2 is the limiting reactant, therefore we base our calculation from that.

Calculating for mass of N2H4 formed:

mass N2H4 = 0.9893 mol N2 * (1 mole N2H4 / 1 mole N2) * 32 g / mol * 0.775

<span>mass N2H4 = 24.53 grams</span>
