Assume that we have this reaction 2H3PO4⇒ P2O5 + 3H2O
and when the rate of reaction is the speed at which the reactants can be changed and are converted into products So, according to our balanced reaction:

The rate of reaction = rate of formation of P2O5 
and the rate of this reaction also = 0.5 rates of decomposition of H3PO4 
∴ the rate of decomposition of H3PO4 = 2 rates of formation of P2O5
So when the rate of formation P2O5 = 2 x 10^-4 M/s 
So the rate of decomposition of H3PO4 = 2 x 2 x 10^-4
                                                                    = 4 x 10^-4 M/s

What is the definition of a common ion as it applies to Le Chatelier’s principle?
navik [9.2K]
The definition of a common ion as it applies to Le Chatelier's principle is an ion that is present in an equilibrium system and a compound added to the system. This is the case since in Le Chatelier's principle, it is based on an equilibrium system and where the reaction shifts to the left or to the right; towards the products or the reactants side.

Iron-59 has a half-life of 44 days. a radioactive sample has an activity of 0.64 mbq. what is the activity of the sample after 8
myrzilka [38]
Radioactive decay is a pseudo-first order reaction. When you know the half-life of the material, you could use this equation.

A= A₀(1/2)^t/h
where 
A is the final activity
A₀ is the initial activity
t is the time
h is the half-life

A = (0.64)(1/2)^88/44 = <em>0.16 mbq</em>
