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 does the polyatomic anion OH need to gain
salantis [7]

Answer:Well-known examples are sodium hydroxide (NaOH) with OH- as the polyatomic anion, calcium carbonate (CaCO3), and ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), which contains two polyatomic ions: NH+ and NO3-. ... The properties of compounds containing polyatomic ions are very similar to those of binary ionic compounds.

Carbon naturally occurs in two forms: diamond and graphite. Why do these two forms have very different properties?
Nookie1986 [14]
The differences in the properties of diamond and graphite is as a result of how their particles are arranged in space. This space arrangement leads to distinct crystal structures for the two compounds. In diamond, the carbon atoms are arranged in tetrahedral shape while in graphite the carbon atoms arrayed in planes.
 Hope this helps :)

What does lower case k stand for?
DaniilM [7]
Just for more clarification, lowercase k is the rate constant. Uppercase K is the equilibrium constant. You can actually use k to find K (equilibrium constant). K=k/k' This means that the equilibrium constant is the rate constant of the forward reaction divided by the rate constant of the reverse reaction
