Candle wax is a mixture of hydrocarbons. In the reaction of oxygen with candle w ax in Figure 11.2, the rate of consumption of oxygen decreased with time after the flask was covered, and eventually' the flame went out. From the perspective of the kinetic-molecular theory, describe what is happening in the flask. FIGURE 11.2 When a candle burns in a closed container, the flame will diminish and eventually go out. As the amount of oxygen present decreases, the rate of combustion will also decrease. Eventually, the rate of combustion is no longer sufficient to sustain the flame even though there is still some oxygen present in the vessel.
A friend of yours states, A balanced equation tells us how chemicals interact. Therefore, we can determine the rate law directly from the balanced equations. What do you tell your friend?
The decomposition of sulfuryl chloride, SO2Cl2, to sulfur dioxide and chlorine gases is a first-order reaction. SO2Cl2(g)SO2(g)+Cl2(g)At a certain temperature, the half-life of SO2Cl2 is 7.5102 min. Consider a sealed flask with 122.0 g of SO2Cl2. (a) How long will it take to reduce the amount of SO2Cl2 in the sealed flask to 45.0 g? (b) If the decomposition is stopped after 29.0 h, what volume of Cl2 at 27C and 1.00 atm is produced?
As with any drug, aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) must remain in the bloodstream long enough to be effective. Assume that the removal of aspirin from the bloodstream into the urine is a lirst-order reaction, with a half-life of about 3 hours. The instructions on an aspirin bottle say to take 1 or 2 tablets every 4 hours. If a person takes 2 aspirin tablets, how much aspirin remains in the bloodstream when it is time for the second dose? (A standard tablet contains 325 mg of aspirin.)
