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 a nonpolar covalent bond?
Vlad1618 [11]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A non-polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed between the atoms having no difference in electronegativity values. For Example: Cl_2,H_2 etc..

In this bond, the electrons are shared equally and \Delta EN value is equal to 0.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.

Determine the number of unpaired electrons in Ca?
serg [7]

When an electron occupies an orbital of an atom singly, rather than an electron pair such electron is said to be an unpaired electron. Each atomic orbital of an atom specified by quantum numbers can contain a maximum of two electrons having opposite spins, electron pair.

The numbers of unpaired electrons are determined by the electronic configuration of an atom. The electronic configuration of calcium, Ca is:

1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{6}4s^{2} or [Ar]4s^{2}

Since, from the electronic configuration it is clear that the number of electrons in valence orbital that is 4s is 2 that means the electrons are paired up in the valence orbital so, there are no unpaired electrons present in Ca.

Hence, the number of unpaired electrons in Ca is 0.
