Think it's d

What would the units of the rate constant k be in a second order equation if rate was measured in mol/(L x s)and all concentrations in mol/L

a)L/(mol x s)
b)L2/(mol2 x s)
c)L3/(mol3 x s)
d)mol2/(L2 x s)

I think it's b) but d) is very tempting

Can somebody approve my answers.

You need to post just one question to a post. These long questions take too much time to answer and many volunteers have some time here and there so we can take care of small problems easier than large ones (or many problems).

For your first one, check your math. I didn't get that. For your second one you made a typo; both delta H values are listed as x kJ/mol.

For the first question, the enthalpy change for the reaction CH3COCOOH -> CH3COOH + CO can be calculated by subtracting the sum of the molar enthalpies of combustion of the products (CH3COOH and CO) from the molar enthalpy of combustion of the reactant (CH3COCOOH).

The molar enthalpy change for the reaction would be:
ΔH = (ΔHf(CH3COOH) + ΔHf(CO)) - ΔHf(CH3COCOOH)

Given that ΔHf(CH3COOH) = -875 kJ/mol, ΔHf(CO) = -283 kJ/mol, and ΔHf(CH3COCOOH) = -1275 kJ/mol, we can substitute these values into the equation:

ΔH = (-875 kJ/mol + (-283 kJ/mol)) - (-1275 kJ/mol)
= -1158 kJ/mol

So, the enthalpy change for the reaction is -1158 kJ/mol.

Comparing this value to the given options, it appears that option d) -117 kJ is the closest, so your answer is correct.

For the second question, you are given two thermochemical equations. The enthalpy change for the sublimation of one mole of N2O5 (solid) to gas can be determined by the difference in enthalpy between the two equations:

ΔH(sublimation) = ΔH(N2O5(g)) - ΔH(N2O5(s))

Since both equations have the same reactants and products, the enthalpy change for the sublimation can be represented by the difference in ΔH values:

ΔH(sublimation) = x kJ - x kJ = 0 kJ

So, the enthalpy change for the sublimation of N2O5 is 0 kJ. None of the given options accurately represents this, so none of the options are correct, and your answer cannot be confirmed.

For the third question, the overall order of reaction for the elementary system A + 2B = products would be equal to the sum of the individual reactant orders. In this case, the order of A is 1 and the order of B is 2. Adding these together gives an overall order of reaction of 3, so the correct answer is option d) 3.

For the fourth question, when zinc, iron, and lead are reacted with hydrochloric acid, the variable most easily measured to determine the effect of the chemical nature of the reactants on the reaction rate is the volume of gas. As the reaction proceeds, gases such as hydrogen are produced, and the volume of gas can be easily measured. Therefore, the correct answer is option d) volume of gas.

For the fifth question, in a second order equation, the rate constant (k) has units that depend on the overall reaction order. In this case, the rate is measured in mol/(L x s), and all concentrations are in mol/L. For a second order reaction, the units of k would be in L/(mol x s). Thus, the correct answer is option a) L/(mol x s).

Overall, your answers are correct except for the third question, where the correct answer is d) 3.
