Phosphine, PH₃, is a colorless, toxic gas that is used in the production of semiconductors as well as in the farming industry. W

hen heated, phosphine decomposes into phosphorus and hydrogen gases.
4 PH₃(g) ⟶ P₄(g) + 6 H₂(g)

This decomposition is first order with respect to phosphine, and has a half‑life of 35.0 s at 953 K. Calculate the partial pressure of hydrogen gas that is present after 70.5 s if a 2.20 L vessel containing 2.29 atm of phosphine gas is heated to 953 K.

Answer:

0.57 atm

Explanation:

Anytime a reaction is of the first order, the integrated law states that

ln[A]t/[A]₀ = - kt

where [A]t is the concentration of A ( phosphine in this question ) after a time, t

          [A]₀ is the initial concentration of A (phosphine also)

          k is a constant,

          t is the time

We also know that for a first order reaction,

          half life is t1/2 =0.693/k, then, k= 0.693/ t 1/2

where t 1/2 is the half-life.

This equation is derived for a situation when A]t/= 1/2 x [A]₀ which occurs at the half-life.

Thus, finding k from the half life time, and then solving it for a time t = 70.5 s

k = 0.693 /  35.0 s = 0.0198 s⁻¹

ln [ PH₃ ]t / [ PH₃]₀ = - kt

from ideal gas law we know that pV = nRT, so the volumes  will cancel:

ln (pPH₃ )t / p(PH₃)₀ = - kt

taking inverse log to both sides of the equation:

(pPH₃ )t / p(PH₃)₀  = - kt

then

(pPH₃ )t  = 2.29 atm x e^(- 0.0198 s⁻¹ x 70.5 s ) = 0.57 atm

Answer:

In short, because we are tearing up the oxygen factories to make way for carbon dioxide emitters. (Doesn't make a lot of sense, read the explanation)

Explanation:

So, 1000 years ago, we had a lot more trees, didn't have engines or cars or factories or anything, really that released carbon dioxide into the air and we had a lot more trees and since the invention of cars, engines, carbon dioxide-emitting tools and factories and all the other things that emit "Greenhouse gases" and in doing that, cleared more trees to make room for factories and roads and that has drastically changed the outlook of the carbon cycle.
