Barium-131's radiation level won't reach 1/4 of its initial level for 24 hours.

ln[A] t = -kt + ln[A] 0 is the integrated rate rule for the first-order reaction A's products.

A straight line is produced when the natural log of [A] is plotted as a function of time since this equation has the form y = mx + b.

How is the length of a half-life determined?

The amount of time needed for the reactant concentration to drop to half its initial value is known as the half-life of a reaction. A first-order reaction's half-life is a constant that is correlated with its rate constant:

t 1/2 = 0.693/k.

Hi, Can someone help me with this question, please! It's due tonight!
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

24.0 g C₃H₈

Explanation:

To find the mass of C₃H₈, you need to (1) convert grams CO/H₂ to moles CO/H₂ (via molar mass), then (2) convert moles CO/H₂ to moles C₃H₈ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles C₃H₈ to grams C₃H₈ (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the conversions/ratios in a way that allows for the cancellation of units (the desired unit should be in the numerator). The final answer should have 3 sig figs to reflect the sig figs in the given values.

Molar Mass (CO): 12.011 g/mol + 15.998 g/mol

Molar Mass (CO): 28.009 g/mol

Molar Mass (H₂): 2(1.008 g/mol)

Molar Mass (H₂): 2.016 g/mol

Molar Mass (C₃H₈): 3(12.011 g/mol) + 8(1.008 g/mol)

Molar Mass (C₃H₈): 44.097 g/mol

3 CO + 7 H₂ ----> 1 C₃H₈ + 3 H₂O
^           ^              ^

45.8 g CO           1 mole              1 mole C₃H₈          44.097 g
-----------------  x  ------------------  x  --------------------  x  ------------------  =
                           28.009 g           3 moles CO            1 mole

=  24.0 g C₃H₈

87.3 g H₂           1 mole           1 mole C₃H₈          44.097 g
----------------  x  ---------------  x  ---------------------  x  -----------------  =  
                          2.016 g           7 moles H₂             1 mole

=  273 g C₃H₈

It was necessary to find the mass of the products from both of the reactants because you did not know which one was the limiting reagent. The limiting reagent is the reactant which is completely used up first. Because CO produced the smaller amount of product, it must be the limiting reagent. Therefore, the actual amount of C₃H₈ produced is 24.0 grams.
