Achieve 8-10 #7

hello! Can someone please help with these parts of problem 7? For the reaction 2A(g)+2B(g)+C(g)⟶3G(g)+4F(g) the initial rate data in the table was collected, where [A]0, [B]0, and [C]0 are the initial concentrations of A, B, and C, respectively. Experiment [A]0 (mmol⋅L−1) [B]0 (mmol⋅L−1) [C]0 (mmol⋅...

Achieve 8-10 #20

Can someone please explain how we're supposed to solve this problem? The presence of a catalyst provides a reaction pathway in which the activation energy of a reaction is reduced by 63.00 kJ⋅mol−1. Uncatalyzed: A⟶B Ea=133.00 kJ⋅mol−1 Catalyzed: A⟶B Ea=70.00 kJ⋅mol−1 Determine the factor by which th...

Re: Achieve 8-10 #17

Since DELTA H is negative we assume this reaction is exothermic. If we look at a reaction diagram, the productions must have gone up by 53 kJ because that's the activation energy, and decrease by (53+24) to get the products value. 53 - (53+24) = -24 = DELTA H. To get the opposite reaction, we look ...

Hi! When separating CuCl it becomes Cu+ and Cl-, so the reduction half reaction has Cl2 as reactant and 2Cl- (coefficient of 2 to make it balanced) as the product. Since the 2Cl- has a negative two charge, there should be two electrons on the reactants side. Hope this helps! This might be a stupid ...

Re: finding bond enthalpies

The way to find bond enthalpy is you find how many bonds are associated with a given molecule. Usually you will be given the enthalpy numbers but you need to figure out how many bonds there are. For example if you were asked to find 2 H-H bond D’s you would multiply 2 to the given enthalpy. If you ...
