Answer:

After 1326s, the concentration of pyruvic acid fall to 1/64 of its initial concentration.

Explanation:

The first order kinetics reaction is:

ln [A] = ln [A]₀ - kt

<em>Where [A] is concentration after t time, [A]₀ is intial concentration and k is reaction constant.</em>

To convert half-life to k you must use:

t(1/2) = ln 2 / K

221s = ln 2 / K

K = ln 2 / 221s

<h3>K = 3.1364x10⁻³s⁻¹</h3>

If [A] = 1/64, [A]₀ = 1:

ln [A] = ln [A]₀ - kt

ln (1/64) = ln 1 - 3.1364x10⁻³t

4.1588 = 3.1364x10⁻³s⁻¹t

1326s = t

<h3>After 1326s, the concentration of pyruvic acid fall to 1/64 of its initial concentration.</h3>

How many electrons in an atom can share the quantum numbers n = 4 and l = 3?
o-na [289]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{14}}

Explanation:

If l = 3, the electrons are in an f subshell.

The number of orbitals with a quantum number l is 2l + 1, so there

are 2×3 + 1 = 7 f orbitals.

Each orbital can hold two electrons, so the f subshell can hold 14 electrons.

\boxed{\textbf{14 electrons}} \text{ can share the quantum numbers n = 4 and l = 3.}

Calculate the percent composition by mass of iron in Fe(NO3)3
Dovator [93]

Answer:

It's 23.14 percent

Explanation:

First, the mass of all the elements are:

N = 14

O = 16

Fe = 56

In this molecule you have 3 atoms of N, and 9 atoms of O, so:

3•14 = 42

16•9 = 144

The whole mass of the molecule is:

56 + 42 + 144 = 242

242/100 = 2.42, so 1% is 2.42

56/2.42 = 23.14%

The density of gold is 19.3 the density of iron pyrite is 5.0 if a nugget of iron pyrite and a nugget of gold each have a mass o
exis [7]
Density equals mas divided by volume. You know the density and mass so use it to solve for the volume.

d= m/v
d= 19.3 g/mL
m= 50g
v=?

Plug it in.    19.3= 50/v

To solve for v you do the opposite of 50 divided by v which is 50 time v.
That cancels v from the right side of the equation.  Do the same on the other side(times v)
19.3 * v=50

Now just divide both sides by 19.3 to get v alone.
