Answer:

k = 1.3 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

Explanation:

For a first order reaction the integrated rate law is

Ln [A]t/[A]₀ = - kt

where [A] are the concentrations of acetaldehyde in this case, t is the time and k is the rate constant.

We are given the half life for the concentration of acetaldehyde to fall to one half its original value, thus

Ln [A]t/[A]₀ = Ln 1/2[A]₀/[A]₀= Ln 1/2 = - kt

- 0.693 = - k(530s) ⇒ k = 1.3 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

Why is important to only test one variable at a time?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

It is important to only test one variable at a time because you need to be able to disprove or prove a problem with just one independent variable. When you have several variables in the experiment, it would be impossible to know which variable honestly caused the end result.

A substance that does not allow x-rays to pass through is described as being
horsena [70]

A substance that is impenetrable by x-rays is described as being radiopaque.

Radiopaque substances will not allow x-rays and or other forms of radiations to pass through them.

Instead, they absorb or block the rays and when used in radiology, they appear white or light gray on photographic films.

Radiopaque materials are applied in generating ultrasound images and other forms of clinical procedures.
