So here's how you find the answer:

Given: (rate constants)

K₁ = 4.0 x 10⁻⁴ M⁻¹s⁻¹.
T₁ = 25.0 C = 293 K.
k₂ = 2.6 x10⁻³ M⁻¹s⁻¹.
T₂ = 42.4 C = 315.4 K.
R = 8,314 J/K·mol.

Use the equation:

ln(k₁/k₂) = Ea/R (1/T₂ - 1/T₁).

Transpose:

Ea = R·T₁·T₂ / (T₁ - T₂) · ln(k₁/k₂)

Substitute within the given transposed equation:

<span>Ea = 8,314 J/K·mol · 293 K · 315.4 K ÷ (293 K - 315.4 K) · ln (4.0 x 10⁻⁴ M⁻¹s⁻¹/ 2.6 x 10⁻³ M⁻¹s⁻¹).
</span>
Continuing the solution we get:

<span>Ea = 768315 J·K/mol ÷ (-22,4 K) * (-1.87)
</span>
The value of EA is:

<span>Ea = 64140.58 J/mol ÷ 1000 J/kJ = 64.140 kJ/mol.</span>

Hypothesis: If a fixed amount of gas is heated,
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

If fixed amount of gas is heated then the volume will increase because the heat will cause the molecules of gas to move freely and increase the kinetic energy.

Explanation:

If fixed amount of gas is heated then the volume will increase because the heat will cause the molecules of gas to move freely and increase the kinetic energy.

According to the Charle's law

The volume of given amount of gas is directly proportional to the temperature at constant pressure and number of moles of gas.

Mathematical expression;

V ∝ T

V = kT

V/T = k

if volume is changed from V1 to V2 and temperature change from T1 to T2 then,

V1/T1 = k      V2/T2= k

V1/T1 = V2/T2

When 28.0 g of acetylene reacts with hydrogen, 24.5 g of ethane is produced. What is the percent yield of C2H6 for the reaction?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Y=75.6\%

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since no information about the reacting hydrogen is given, we can assume that it completely react with the 28.0 g of acetylene to yield ethane. In such a way, via the 1:1 mole ratio between acetylene (molar mass = 26 g/mol) and ethane (molar mass = 30 g/mol), we compute the yielded grams, or the theoretical yield of ethane as shown below:

m_{C_2H_6}^{theoretical}=28.0gC_2H_2*\frac{1molC_2H_2}{26gC_2H_2}*\frac{1molC_2H_6}{1molC_2H_2}  *\frac{30gC_2H_6}{1molC_2H_6}\\ \\m_{C_2H_6}^{theoretical}=32.3gC_2H_6

Hence, by knowing that the percent yield is computed via the actual yield (24.5 g) over the theoretical yield, we obtain:

Y=\frac{24.5g}{32.3g}*100\%\\ \\Y=75.6\%

Best regards.

In Part A, you found the amount of product (1.80 mol P2O5 ) formed from the given amount of phosphorus and excess oxygen. In Par
Finger [1]

First step is to balance the reaction equation. Hence we get P4 + 5 O2 => 2 P2O5

Second, we calculate the amounts we start with

P4: 112 g = 112 g/ 124 g/mol – 0.903 mol

O2: 112 g = 112 g / 32 g/mol = 3.5 mol

Lastly, we calculate the amount of P2O5 produced.

2.5 mol of O2 will react with 0.7 mol of P2O5 to produce 1.4 mol of P2O5.

This is 1.4 * (31*2 + 16*5) = 198.8 g
