Answer:
0.17325 moles per liter per second
Explanation:
For a first order reaction;
in[A] = in[A]o - kt
Where;
[A]= concentration at time t
[A]o = initial concentration
k= rate constant
t= time taken
ln0.5 =ln1 - 2k
2k = ln1 - ln0.5
k= ln1 - ln0.5/2
k= 0 -(0.693)/2
k= 0.693/2
k= 0.3465 s-1
Rate of reaction = k[A]
Rate = 0.3465 s-1 × 0.50 mol/L
Rate = 0.17325 moles per liter per second
Answer:
2Cu2S + 3O2 + 2C -------> 4Cu + 2SO2 + 2CO
Explanation:
Equation 1 should correctly be written as;
2Cu2S + 3O2-----> 2Cu2O + 2SO2
Equation 2 should be correctly written as;
2Cu2O + 2C -----> 4Cu + 2CO
The overall reaction equation is;
2Cu2S + 3O2 + 2C -------> 4Cu + 2SO2 + 2CO
Note that species that are intermediates are cancelled out .
