A reaction, such as this one, starts with a reactant. It needs to have activation energy in order to change to the product, as shown by the hump in the graph. At the top of the hump is the transition state. This is the point where, after enough energy, the reactant will turn into the product. This reaction is exothermic. Since the product has less energy than the reactant, it had to have released energy somehow, and that energy was released in the form of heat, which makes it exothermic. (Exothermic reactions release heat, vs. endothermic reactions which absorb heat).

Bonus: a catalyst can be used to lower the activation energy by giving the reaction a “kick start,” requiring less energy in the reaction for the reactant to turn into the product.

If 27.3% of a sample of silver-112 decays in 1.52 hours, what is the half-life (in hours to 3 decimal places)?

ICE Princess25 [194]

<u>Answer:</u> The half life of the sample of silver-112 is 3.303 hours.

<u>Explanation:</u>

All radioactive decay processes undergoes first order reaction.

To calculate the rate constant for first order reaction, we use the integrated rate law equation for first order, which is:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log \frac{[A_o]}{[A]}$

where,

k = rate constant = ?

t = time taken = 1.52 hrs

$[A_o]$ = Initial concentration of reactant = 100 g

[A] = Concentration of reactant left after time 't' = [100 - 27.3] = 72.7 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$k=\frac{2.303}{1.52hrs}\log \frac{100}{72.7}\\\\k= 0.2098hr^{-1}$

To calculate the half life period of first order reaction, we use the equation:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

where,

$t_{1/2}$ = half life period of first order reaction = ?

k = rate constant = $0.2098hr^{-1}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{0.2098hr^{-1}}\\\\t_{1/2}=3.303hrs$

Hence, the half life of the sample of silver-112 is 3.303 hours.

Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol has the tert-butyl group in the equatorial position and the alcohol in the ________ position.

Anni [7]

Answer:

Axial

Explanation:

In the most stable conformation of Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol, the tert-butyl group is at equatorial position and the alcohol group is in the axial position.

If the tert-butyl group is placed in equatorial position, repulsions are minimized. The bulkier the group, the greater the energy difference between the axial and equatorial conformers. Hence for a ring having a bulky substituent, such bulky substituent is better placed in the equatorial position.

The energy difference between the conformers of Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol is so high that the compound is almost "frozen" in a conformation where the tert-butyl groups are equatorial and the -OH groups are axial. This conformer is more stable by 24 KJ/mol.
