Answer:
There are 0.5 mole in 20g of argon.
Explanation:
40 g of argon = 1mole
Then 20g of argon is,
→ 1/40 × 20
→ 0.5 mole
Since phosphorus is in the 5th group it has the ability to gain or lose electrons
The rate constant for 1st order reaction is
K = (2.303 /t) log (A0 /A)
Where, k is rate constant
t is time in sec
A0 is initial concentration
(6.82 * 10-3) * 240 = log (0.02 /A)
1.63 = log (0.02 /A)
-1.69 – log A = 1.63
Log A = - 0.069
A = 0.82
Hence, 0.82 mol of A remain after 4 minutes.
