The reaction 2hi → h2 + i2 is second order in [hi] and second order overall. the rate constant of the reaction at 700°c is 1.57 × 10−5 m −1s−1. suppose you have a sample in which the concentration of hi is 0.75 m. what was the concentration of hi 8 hours earlier?

1.135 M.

Explanation:

The reaction is a second order reaction of HI,so the rate law of the reaction is: Rate = k[HI]².

1/[A] = kt + 1/[A₀],

where, k is the reate constant of the reaction (k = 1.57 x 10⁻⁵ M⁻¹s⁻¹),

t is the time of the reaction (t = 8 hours x 60 x 60 = 28800 s),

[A₀] is the initial concentration of HI ([A₀] = ?? M).

[A] is the remaining concentration of HI after hours ([A₀] = 0.75 M).

∵ 1/[A] = kt + 1/[A₀],

∴ 1/[A₀] = 1/[A] - kt

∴ 1/[A₀] = [1/(0.75 M)] - (1.57 x 10⁻⁵ M⁻¹s⁻¹)(28800 s) = 1.333 M⁻¹ - 0.4522 M⁻¹ = 0.8808 M⁻¹.

∴ [A₀] = 1/(0.0.8808 M⁻¹) = 1.135 M.

So, the concentration of HI 8 hours earlier = 1.135 M.

explanation:

venn diagram is pictorial representation with of circles showing the relation between two finite sets or things. the intersection part of two circles conveys the relation present in between those sets or things.

here in the venn diagram of sand and salt two circles represent sand and salt. but the area falling under the intersection of these circle represents the mixture of sand and salt.

so, in a venn diagram the mixture will be placed in a middle that is in between the intersection of two circles.

sure im new too!
