Answer: The rate constant is
Explanation ;
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

where,
k = rate constant = ?
t = age of sample = 4.26 min
a = initial amount of the reactant = 2.56 mg
a - x = amount left after decay process = 2.50 mg
Now put all the given values in above equation to calculate the rate constant ,we get



Thus rate constant is [tex]0.334s^{-1}
This is a double replacement reaction; the ions switch twice.
<span>Same answer, different setup. We know that the sum of the oxidation numbers is zero for a compound and the ionic charge for a polyatomic ion, and we know that sulfite ion is -2.
Create an algebraic equation by multiplying the subscripts times the oxidation number of a single element.
+x -6 = -2
+x -2
S O3
Solve for x
x = +4</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
I think you meant a covalent bond, a bond between two non-metal atoms. This image can explain better than I can.
