Answer:

125000

Explanation:

Because it is halved and halved again.

Half life - when half of the radioactive substance has become stable

500,000/2 = 250,000 remaining after the first half life

250,000/2 = 125,000 remaining after the second


Or alternatively 1/4 x 500,000 = 125,000

What is the rate constant of a first-order reaction that takes 5.50 minutes for the reactant concentration to drop to half of it
bulgar [2K]
For a first order reaction, the half life is inversely proportional to the rate constant. 
The formula is
half life = ln(2)/k = 0.693/k
where k is the rate constant

t = 5.50 minutes

k = ln(2)/5.50 = 0.126 min^-1

Your rate constant is 0.126 min^-1.

A concentration cell is constructed by using the same half-reaction for both the cathode and anode. What is the value of standar
Akimi4 [234]

Solution :

A cell that is concentrated is constructed by the same half reaction for the anode as well as he cathode.

We know,

In a standard cell,

the reduction half cell reaction is :

$Ag^+(aq)+e^- \rightarrow Ag(s) E^0 = -0.80 \ V$

The oxidation half ell reaction :

$Ag(s) \rightarrow Ag^+(aq) + e^- \ E^0= +0.80 \ V$

Thus the complete reaction of the cell is :

$Ag^+(aq)+ Ag(s) \rightarrow Ag^+(aq)+Ag(s)$

$E^0 $ cell = $E_R - E_L = 0.00  \ \text{volts}$
