The density of ice is 0.9167 g/cm<span>3</span>
The value of Kc for the thermal decomposition of H₂S is 2.2 x 10⁻⁴ at 1400 K:
2 H₂S(g) ↔ 2 H₂(g) + S₂(g)
initial 3.5 M 0 0
at equilibrium 3.5 M - 2x 2x x
Kc = [S₂][H₂]² / [H₂S]²
2.2 X 10⁻⁴ = x(2x)² / (3.5 - 2x)²
2.2 x 10⁻⁴ = 4 x³ / (3.5)² Assuming x <<<<< 3.5
x = 0.088
Thus [H₂S] = 3.324 M
Answer:
0.550
Explanation:
The absorbance (A) of a substance depends on its concentration (c) according to Beer-Lambert law.
A = ε . <em>l</em> . c
where,
ε: absorptivity of the species
<em>l</em>: optical path length
A 45 mM phosphate solution (solution A) had an absorbance of 1.012.
A = ε . <em>l</em> . c
1.012 = ε . <em>l</em> . 45 mM
ε . <em>l</em> = 0.022 mM⁻¹
We can find the concentration of the second solution using the dilution rule.
C₁ . V₁ = C₂ . V₂
45mM . 11mL = C₂ . 20.0 mL
C₂ = 25 mM
The absorbance of the second solution is:
A = (ε . <em>l</em> ). c
A = (0.022 mM⁻¹) . 25 mM = 0.55 (rounding off to 3 significant figures = 0.550)
The factors that affect the rate of a reaction are:
- <em>nature of the reactant</em> - when reactants with different chemical composition are exposed to same conditions they would react differently. For instance, when an acid or base is added on litmus paper, blue litmus paper turns red in presence of acid while red litmus paper turns blue when base is added.
- <em>surface area</em>- a compound with small pieces spread over a large area will react faster than a big lump of a compound occupying a small area.
- <em>temperature of reaction</em>- reactants would react faster at high temperatures. this is because they have higher kinetic energy to collide with each other. Hence a plate of food on the table spoils faster than a plate of food in the fridge.
- <em>concentration</em>- an increase in concentration leads to more molecules available to collide and form products. An example, when you add more of indicator in a solution, the color becomes more clear since more particles react to give more color.
- <em>presence of a catalyst</em>- a catalyst lowers the activation energy, which means less energy is required to shift reaction in forward direction. In the presence of iron (Fe) a catalyst, nitrogen N₂ and hydrogen H₂ react to produce NH₃
