The decomposition of N_2O_5(g) following 1st order kinetics. N_2O_5(g) to N_2O_4(g) + ½ O_2(g) If 2.56 mg of N_2O_5 is initially

present in a container and 2.50 mg remains after 4.26 min, what is the rate constant in 1/s?

Answer: The rate constant is 0.334s^{-1}

Explanation ;

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = ?

t = age of sample  = 4.26 min

a =  initial amount of the reactant  = 2.56 mg

a - x = amount left after decay process  = 2.50 mg

Now put all the given values in above equation to calculate the rate constant ,we get

4.26=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{2.56}{2.50}

k=\frac{2.303}{4.26}\log\frac{2.56}{2.50}

k=5.57\times 10^{-3}min^{-1}=5.57\times 10^{-3}\times 60s^{-1}=0.334s^{-1}

Thus rate constant is [tex]0.334s^{-1}

What is the situation when I might travel high velocity but low acceleration
Anna007 [38]
Cruising at 35,000 feet in an airliner, straight toward the east, 
at 500 miles per hour.  

Since your speed is not changing and you're moving in a straight line,
your acceleration is zero.

Which one of the following is a correct representation of an alpha particle?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

₂He⁴  

Explanation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4  and atomic number less than 2 as compared to parent atom the starting atom.

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

₉₂U²³⁸   →   ₉₀Th²³⁴  + ₂He⁴  + energy

2zns(s)+3o2(g)—>2zno(s)+2so2(g)
Paha777 [63]

This is an example of displacement reaction

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The chemical reaction in which the one element replaces the other element in a compound is called a displacement reaction. This reaction is also called a replacement reaction.

                                AB + C -----> AC +B

                        2ZnS + 3O2 -----> 2ZnO + 2SO2

  • This happens when A is more reactive than B and gives a stable product. Here the zinc sulfide compound reacts with the oxygen element to the stable product of zinc oxide and sulfur dioxide.
  • In short, the more reactive element displaces the less reactive element is called a displacement reaction.
