(Answer) (d) Chemical reaction rates vary with the conditions of the reaction, but nuclear decay rates do not.

Rate of a chemical reaction refers to rate of formation of products from reactions during a chemical reaction. The rates of chemical reactions depend on various factors such as temperature, pressure, concentration of reactants, presence of catalyst etc. For this reason, chemical reaction rates vary with the conditions of the reaction.

Nuclear decay rate refers to the constant ratio of the number of atoms of radioactive nucleus that decay during a certain interval of time to the total number of radioactive atoms at the beginning of the time interval. Nuclear decay rates are constant and do not vary with the conditions of the reaction.

A cation with a +4 charge has 26 neutrons and 18 electrons. What is the identity of the element?

Leya [2.2K]

Answer: Titanium has 22 protons

Explanation: If an atoms donates 4 electrons, it forms cation with charge +4. So original atom have 22 electrons and because atom is neutral, it has 22 protons. Number of neutrons does not matter, there are more neutrons than protons in heavier atoms.

The rate constant for the decomposition reaction of H2O2 is 3.66 × 10−3 s−1 at a particular temperature. What is the concentrati

Pepsi [2]

Answer: 3.72 M

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 = $3.66\times 10^{-3}s^{-1}$

t = age of sample = 15.0 minutes

a = let initial amount of the reactant = 10.0 M

a - x = amount left after decay process = ?

$15.0\times 60s=\frac{2.303}{3.66\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{10.0}{(a-x)}$

$\log\frac{100}{(a-x)}=1.43$

$\frac{100}{(a-x)}=26.9$

$(a-x)=3.72M$

The concentration of $H_2O_2$ in a solution after 15.0 minutes have passed is 3.72 M

Give the number of lone pairs around the central atom and the molecular geometry of XeF4.A)0 lone pairs, tetrahedralB)1 lone pai

vovangra [49]

Answer: 2 lone pairs, square planar

Explanation:

Using the VSEPR ( Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion)Theory

To calculate the number of lone pairs electron can be done using the formula;

Number of electrons = ½ (V+N-C+A)

V mean valency of the central atom

N means number of monovalent bonding atoms

C means charge on cation

A means charges on anion

Therefore, to calculate the number of lone pair electron C=A=0;

Number of electrons = ½ (8+4) = 12/2 = 6

Number of bonding pair = 4

Number of lone pairs of electron = 6-4 = 2

The hybridrization of the compound is sp3d2 because the number of electrons around the central atom is 6.

The geometry of the compound is square planar and this is because of the repulsion between the bonding pair of electrons and lone pair of electrons which causes the lone pair of electrons to lie in a perpendicular plane in order to acquire stability.
