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.

A 250. ml sample of 0.0328m hcl is partially neutralized by the addition of 100. ml of 0.0245m naoh. find the concentration of h
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer: 0.0164 molar concentration of hydrochloric acid in the resulting solution.

Explanation:

1) Molarity of 0.250 L HCl solution : 0.0328 M

Molarity=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume of solution in liters}}=0.0328=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{0.250 L}

Moles of HCl in 0.250 L solution = 0.0082 moles

2) Molarity of 0.100 L NaOH solution : 0.0245 M

Molarity=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume of solution in liters}}=0.0245=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{0.100 L}

Moles of NaOH in 0.100 L solution = 0.00245 moles

3) Concentration of hydrochloric acid in the resulting solution.

0.00245 moles of NaOH will neutralize 0.00245 moles of HCl out of 0.0082 moles of HCl.

Now the new volume of the solution = 0.100 L +0.250 L = 0.350 L

Moles of HCl left un-neutralized = 0.0082 moles - 0.00245 moles =  0.00575 moles

Molarity=\frac{\text{number of moles}}{\text{volume of solution in L}}

Molarity of HCl left un-neutralized :\frac{0.00575 moles}{0.350L}=0.0164 M

0.0164 molar concentration of hydrochloric acid in the resulting solution.

A 50-gram sample has a half-life of 12 days. How much material will remain after 12 days?
Elis [28]
<span>A 50-gram sample with a half-life of 12 days will have a remaining mass of 25 grams after its 12-day half-life. Every cycle of a half-life, the sample will lose half of its mass, so if the half-life, itself, is 12 days and the time period passing is 12 days, one half-life has passed and the material will be halved.</span>

You mix 500.0 mL of 0.250 M iron(III) chloride solution with 425.0 mL of 0.350 M barium chloride solution. Assuming the volumes
12345 [234]

Answer:

M=0.727M

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since iron (III) chloride (FeCl3) and barium chloride (BaCl2) are both chloride-containing compounds, we can compute the moles of chloride from each salt, considering the concentration and volume of the given solutions, and using the mole ratio that is 1:3 and 1:2 for the compound to chlorine:

n_{Cl^-}=0.50L*0.250\frac{molFeCl_3}{L}*\frac{3molCl^-}{1molFeCl_3}=0.375molCl^-  \\\\n_{Cl^-}=0.425L*0.350\frac{molBaCl_2}{L}*\frac{2molCl^-}{1molBaCl_2}=0.2975molCl^-

So the total mole of chloride ions:

N_{Cl^-}=0.2975mol+0.375mol=0.6725molCl^-

And the total volume by adding the volume of each solution in L:

V=0.500L+0.425L=0.925L

Finally, the molarity turns out:

M=\frac{0.6725molCl^-}{0.925L}\\ \\M=0.727M

Best regards.

Assume the atomic mass of element X is 22.99 amu. A 17.15−g sample of X combines with 14.17 g of another element Y to form a com
Alenkasestr [34]
The formula of the compound is XY. This means that the relation between the moles is 1: 1. One mole of X per one mole of Y.

From the information about the element X you can determine the number of moles of X (which is the same that the number of moles of Y).

# of moles of X = weigth of X / atomic mass of X = 17.15 g / 22.9 g/mol = 0.74598

Now the atomic mass of Y = weight of Y / # of moles of Y = 14.17 g / 0.74598 mol = 19 amu
