A particular reactant molecule "R" is capable of undergoing condensation and forming either a single closed loop (R-> L) or long chain polymer (R+R+R ->P). The rate law for the loop forming reaction is rate(loop) = kLoop[R]; the rate lw for the polymerization reaction is rate(poly) = kpoly[R]^2 a) a beaker with a starting concentration of R equals 0.50M at 60degrees. After 75 minutes of reacting, the concentration of L is 0.10M. Assuming no change in volume or temperature, find k(loop) b. At the 75 minute mark the remaing concentration of R is 0.398M. What can you conclude (qualitatively) about the magnitude of k(poly) relative to k(loop)?
An elementary reaction is generally expressed as: dC :-kC," dt where A is the species being depleted as the reaction progresses, k is the rate constant, and n is the order of reaction, usually referred to as the stoichiometric coefficient of the resulting product. For a polymerization reaction A> 3B, find the initial amount if after 30 seconds, A species is reduced to 5 moles/L within 3 minutes. Take the rate constant as 0.314 L?/(molľ²-min).
A discharge pipe releases small amounts of various alcohols from an industrial fermentation process into a lake. Local scientists would like to estimate the rate at which the alcohols are degrading in the lake. One of them, butanol (C4H9OH), is released to the lake at a rate of 20 kg/day. Butanol is measured in the lake water on several occasions at a concentration of 10-4 kg/m3; no butanol is detected in the inflowing stream. Average streamflow at the outlet of the lake is measured to be 3 x 104 m3/day. What is the magnitude of internal sinks of butanol? Assume there is not butanol exchange with the atmosphere.
