The half-life of the reaction is 101.9 min

<h3>First order reaction </h3>

When a reaction's pace and reactant concentration are inversely correlated, the process is known as a first-order reaction. To put it another way, the reaction rate doubles when the concentration does. One or two reactants can be present in a first-order reaction, as in the case of the decomposition process.

<h3>The half-life of first-order reaction:-</h3>

The amount of time it takes for the initial concentration of the reactant(s) to decrease by half is known as the half-life of a chemical reaction (abbreviated as "t1/2").

<h3 /><h3>Calculation:-</h3>

a→b

25% reacted means 75% remains

t=42 min

Rate constant

k=(2.303/t)(log a/a-x)

k=(2.303/42)(log 100/100-25 )

k=(0.054) (log 100/75)

k=(0.054)(0.1249)

k=0.0068 per min

half life

t1/2=(0.693/k)

     =(0.693/0.0068)

     =101.9 min

NemiM [27]

Answer:

Second order

Explanation:

We could obtain the order of reaction by looking at the table very closely.

Now notice that in experiment 1 and 2, the concentration of [OH^-] was held constant while the concentration of [S8] was varied.  So we have;

a situation in which the rate of reaction was tripled;

0.3/0.1 = 2.10/0.699

3^1 = 3^1

Therefore the order of reaction with respect to  [S8] is 1.

For [OH^-], we have to look at experiment 2 and 3 where the concentration of [S8] was held constant;

x/0.01 = 4.19/2.10

x/0.01 = 2

x = 2 * 0.01

x = 0.02

So we have;

0.02/0.01 = 2^1

2^1 = 2^1

The order of reaction with respect to  [OH^-] = 1

So we have the overall rate law as;

Rate = k[S8]^1  [OH^-] ^1

Overall order of reaction = 1 + 1 = 2

Therefore the reaction is second order.

You have performed a serial dilution of an unknown sample and counted 73 CFU on a countable plate that was marked as a 10^-4 dil
dexar [7]

Hey there!:

To find the original sample population density, divide the conted colonies by the dilution factor and the inoculate:

= 73 / (10⁻⁴ * 0.1)

= 73*10⁵

Thus, the original sample's population density was 7.3*10⁶ or 73* 10⁵.

Hope this helps!

Complete this reaction of a carboxylic acid with a strong base.
raketka [301]

Answer:

C6H5COOH + OH- —> C6H5COO- + H2O

Explanation:

C6H5COOH + OH- —> C6H5COO- + H2O

In the reaction above, C6H5COOH donate a proton(H+) to form the carboxylate ion C6H5COO-. The proton (H+) combines with the OH- to form H2O.

This can better be understood in the illustration below

C6H5COOH + NaOH —> C6H5COONa + H2O

Why is amniocentesis a more widely used test than cvs?
maw [93]
Higher probability of loss. Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) and Amniocentesis (AC). The prenatal diagnosis technique can be done earlier in fetal development CVS (first trimester --> 10-13 weeks). AC (second trimester --> 16-20 weeks)
