Answer:

5.25*10^-2 s^-1

Explanation:

For a first order reaction the rate of reaction just depends on the concentration of one specie [B] and it’s expressed as  :

-\frac{d[B]}{dt}=k[B] - - -  -\frac{d[B]}{[B]}=k*dt

if we integrate between the initial concentration and the concentration at any time we get:

\int\limits^B_B  \,-\frac{ d[B] }{[B]}= \int\limits^t_t \, k*dt

Solution:

-(ln[B]-ln[B]_{o})=kt (equation 1)

You can clear this equation to get a equation for [B] at any time but because we want to estimate k is easier to use this expression.  

In equation 1 we don’t know the value of [B]o so we can’t clear directly to get the value of K, but we know the concentration at two different times. With this information, we can get a system with two mathematical unknowns and two equations that we can solve.

Equations:

(1) -(ln[B]_{1}-ln[B]_{o})=k*t_{1}

(2) -(ln[B]_{2}-ln[B]_{o})=k*t_{2}

With  

[B]_{1}= 7.60 *10^{-2} M, t_{1}=35s

[B]_{2}= 5.50*10^{-3} M, t_{2}=85s

From (1)  

ln[B]_{o}=k*t_{1}+ln[B]_{1}

Replacing this value for ln[B]_{o} on (2) we get  

-ln[B]_{2}+( k*t_{1}+ln[B]_{1})=k*t_{2}

Organizing

-ln[B]_{2}+ ln[B]_{1}= k*t_{2}- k*t_{1}

With k equals to

k=\frac{ln[B]_{1}- ln[B]_{2}}{t_{2}-t_{1}}

k=\frac{ln(7.60 *10^{-2})-ln(5.50*10^{-3})}{85s-35s}=5.25*10^{-2}s^{-1}

Answer:

k = -0.0525 s⁻¹

Explanation:

The equaiton for a first order reaction is stated below:

ln[A]=−kt+ln[A]₀.

[A] = 5.50 x 10⁻³ M

[A]₀ = 7.60 x 10⁻² M

t = 85.0 - 35.0 = 50.0 s

The rate constant is represented by k and can be calculated substituting the values given above:

k = (ln[A]₀ - ln[A])/t

k = (ln5.50 x 10⁻³ M - ln7.60 x 10⁻² M)/50.0s

k = -0.0525 s⁻¹

A gas mixture with a total pressure of 745 mmHg contains each of the following gases at the indicated partial pressures: CO2, 12
Serhud [2]

Answer:

P_{He}=219mmHg

m_{He}=0.618gHe

Explanation:

Hello,

By applying the Dalton's law, we can compute the partial pressure of the helium has:

P_{tot}=P_{CO_2}+P_{Ar}+P_{O_2}+P_{He}

Now, solving for the partial pressure of the helium gas we get:

P_{He}=P_{tot}-P_{CO_2}-P_{Ar}-P_{O_2}=745mmHg-125mmHg-214mmHg-187mmHg\\P_{He}=219mmHg=0.288atm

On the other hand, the mass of the helium gas is computed via the ideal gas equation in terms of the helium's mass:

PV=\frac{m_{He}}{M_{He}}RT\\m_{He}=\frac{M_{He}PV}{RT} =\frac{4g/mol*0.288atm*12L}{0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*273K}\\ m_{He}=0.618gHe

Best regards.

Why chemically did the prescribing of thalidomide for morning sickness in pregnant women lead to tragic consequences, including
Dominik [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The drug thalidomide with molecular formula C13H10N2O4 was widely prescribed by doctors for morning sickness in pregnant women in the 1960s.

The drug was sold as a racemic mixture  (+)(R)-thalidomide and (-)(S)-thalidomide.

Unfortunately, only the  (+)(R)-thalidomide exhibited the required effect while (-)(S)-thalidomide is a teratogen.

This goes a long way to underscore the importance of separation of enantiomers in drug production.

Therefore, all the teratogenic effects observed when using the drug thalidomide was actually as a result of the presence of (-)(S)-thalidomide, the unwanted enantiomer.
