At 400k, the rate of decomposition of a gaseous compound initially at a pressure of 12.6 kpa, was 9.71pa s−1 when 10.0 per cent had reacted and 7.67pa s−1 when 20.0 per cent had reacted. determine the order of the reaction.

answer: mole of the gas

answer: mole of the gasexplanation:

answer: mole of the gasexplanation: this is because 1 mole of a gas is 22.4dm³, which is use in ideal gas

Vander waals forces are inter molecular bonds that exist within molecules of the same substance. a water molecule is made up of oxygen and hydrogen atoms which share electrons between each other. the vander waals forces are forces that exist between multitude of different  molecules of water. dipole dipole forces is the type of vander waals force that exist in water. the oxygen atom which is more electronegative pulls the shared electron closer to itself thus generating a partial negative charge while the hydrogen acquire a partial positive charge. these two different charges causes attraction to occur in water molecules.

Use the universal gas law formula: pv = nrt now, the key word in this problem is stp, so at stp, temperature will always be 0 degrees celsius and pressure will always be 1.0 atm or 760 torr. given something is at stp, we already know the two variables pressure and temperature. the other thing we can find with the given information is moles. to find moles, just divide grams by molar mass of the element. 16.0g / 2(16.00)g/mol = 0.5 moles plug the values in to the equation pv = nrt (1.0 atm)( x ) = (0.5 )(0+273=273k) the r value is just a constant for when we use atm, liters, moles and kelvin. i'm assuming you want your answer in liters, but if you dont just move the decimal 3 to the right in your final answer. so when plugging these numbers in to your calculator and trying to find x, you get 11.20665 liters using significant figures the answer is 11.2 liters
