Explanation:
Half life of zero order and second order depends on the initial concentration. But as the given reaction slows down as the reaction proceeds, therefore, it must be second order reaction. This is because rate of reaction does not depend upon the initial concentration of the reactant.
a. As it is a second order reaction, therefore, doubling reactant concentration, will increase the rate of reaction 4 times. Therefore, the statement a is wrong.
b. Expression for second order reaction is as follows:
![\frac{1}{[A]} =\frac{1}{[A]_0} +kt](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%5BA%5D%7D%20%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%5BA%5D_0%7D%20%2Bkt)
the above equation can be written in the form of Y = mx + C
so, the plot between 1/[A] and t is linear. So the statement b is true.
c.
Expression for half life is as follows:
![t_{1/2}=\frac{1}{k[A]_0}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=t_%7B1%2F2%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bk%5BA%5D_0%7D)
As half-life is inversely proportional to initial concentration, therefore, increase in concentration will decrease the half life. Therefore statement c is wrong.
d.
Plot between A and t is exponential, therefore there is no constant slope. Therefore, the statement d is wrong

Answer:
B. CA, 14
Explanation:
Atoms of elements contain small particles known as electrons, neutrons, and protons. The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons which are at the center of the atom. Electrons on the other hand surrounds the nucleus. Electron has negative charge while proton has a positive charge. The number of neutrons is equivalent to the number of protons . In addition, the number of protons is equal to mass number minus the number of electrons.
For the compound
, it can be broken down into
and
. Its ion has a mass of 34 and 18 electrons which means it has already lost 2 electrons.
Therefore:
For the given element, the number of electrons is 18+2 = 20 electrons.
The number of protons = 34 - 20 = 14.
And the number of neutrons is 14.
Only option B has the correct answer.
