2. Methyl dichloroacetate (Cl2CHCO2CH3) decays into methanol (CH3OH) and dichloroacetic acid (Cl2CHCO2H) on reaction with water. Given a rate constant of 2.7 x 10-4/sec and an initial concentration of 1-ppm methyl dichloroacetate in the water, how much methanol will be present in the water after 30 min

2.69 * 10^-6 Mol/L

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

Cl2CHCO2CH3 > Cl2CHCO2H + CH3OH

To convert from ppm concentration to Mol/L, we have

M = ppm/MM * 1000

Where;

M = mol/l

MM= Molar mass

M = 1/142.97 g/mol * 1000 =

M= 6.99 * 10^-6 Mol/L

For first order reaction;

ln[A] = ln[A]o -kt

Given that

[A]o = 6.99 * 10^-6 Mol/L

[A]=??

k= 2.7 x 10-4/sec

t= 30 mins * 60 = 1800 s

ln[A] = ln[6.99 * 10^-6] -   (2.7 x 10-4 * 1800)

ln[A] = -11.87 - 0.486

ln[A] = -12.356

[A] = e^(-12.356)

[A] = 4.3 * 10^-6 Mol/L

Concentration of methanol present after 30 mins= 6.99 * 10^-6 - 4.3 * 10^-6 = 2.69 * 10^-6 Mol/L

explanation:

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.
