Answer:

Rate constant =  0.0237 M-1 s-1, Order = Second order

Explanation:

In this problem, it can be observed that as the concentration decreases, the half life increases. This means the concentration of the reactant is inversely proportional to the half life.

The order of reaction that exhibit this relationship is the second order of reaction.

In the second order of reaction, the relationship between rate constant and half life is given as;

t1/2 = 1 / k[A]o

Where;

k = rate constant

[A]o = Initial concentration

k = 1 / t1/2 [A]

Uisng the following values;

k = ?

t1/2 = 113

[A]o = 0.372M

k = 1 / (113)(0.372)

k = 1 / 42.036 = 0.0237 M-1 s-1

The atomic number of Re is 75. The atomic mass of one of its isotopes is 186. How many neutrons are in an atom of this isotope?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

B.111

Explanation:

Atomic mass = number of protons(or atomic number) + number of neutrons

186 = 75 + number of neutrons

number of neutrons = 186 -75 = 111

What type of particle has no mass or charge? <br> A) Alpha <br> B) Beta <br> C) Gamma <br> D) Proton
viva [34]

Answer:

Your answer would be C.

Explanation:

Gamma radiation, unlike alpha or beta, does not consist of any particles, instead consisting of a photon of energy being emitted from an unstable nucleus. Having no mass or charge, gamma radiation can travel much farther through air than alpha or beta, losing (on average) half its energy for every 500 feet.

Define density of a substance.
ozzi

Answer:

density, mass of a unit volume of a material substance. The formula for density is d = M/V, where d is density, M is mass, and V is volume. Density is commonly expressed in units of grams per cubic centimetre. ... Density can also be expressed as kilograms per cubic metre (in metre-kilogram-second or SI units).

I2(g) + Cl2(g)2ICl(g) Using standard thermodynamic data at 298K, calculate the entropy change for the surroundings when 1.62 mol
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The change in entropy of the surrounding is -146.11 J/K.

Explanation:

Enthalpy of formation of iodine gas = \Delta H_f_{(I_2)}=62.438 kJ/mol

Enthalpy of formation of chlorine gas = \Delta H_f_{(Cl_2)}=0 kJ/mol

Enthalpy of formation of ICl gas = \Delta H_f_{(ICl)}=17.78 kJ/mol

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:  

\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(reactant)]

For the given chemical reaction:

I_2(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2ICl(g),\Delta H_{rxn}=?

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

\Delta H_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(ICl)})]-[(1\times \Delta H_f_{(I_2)})+(1\times \Delta H_f_{(Cl_2)})]

=[2\times 17.78 kJ/mol]-[1\times 0 kJ/mol+1\times 62.436 kJ/mol]=-26.878 kJ/mol

Enthaply change when 1.62 moles of iodine gas recast:

\Delta H= \Delta H_{rxn}\times 1.62 mol=(-26.878 kJ/mol)\times 1.62 mol=-43.542 kJ

Entropy of the surrounding = \Delta S^o_{surr}=\frac{\Delta H}{T}

=\frac{-43.542 kJ}{298 K}=\frac{-43,542 J}{298 K}=-146.11 J/K

1 kJ = 1000 J

The change in entropy of the surrounding is -146.11 J/K.
