Answer:

5.8μg

Explanation:

According to the rate or decay law:

N/N₀ = exp(-λt)------------------------------- (1)

Where N = Current quantity,  μg

            N₀ = Original quantity, μg

             λ= Decay constant day⁻¹

              t =  time in days

Since the half life is 4.5 days, we can calculate the  λ from (1) by  substituting N/N₀ = 0.5

0.5 = exp (-4.5λ)

ln 0.5  = -4.5λ

-0.6931 = -4.5λ

λ =   -0.6931 /-4.5

  =0.1540 day⁻¹

Substituting into (1)  we have :

N/N₀ = exp(-0.154t)----------------------------- (2)

To receive 5.0 μg of the nuclide with a delivery time of 24 hours or 1 day:

N = 5.0 μg

N₀ = Unknown

t = 1 day

Substituting into (2) we have

[5/N₀]   = exp (-0.154 x 1)

    5/N₀        = 0.8572

N₀  =  5/0.8572

     =    5.8329μg

    ≈     5.8μg

The Chemist must order 5.8μg  of 47-CaCO3

In substitution reactions, (CH3)3C-I reacts at the same rate with Br- and Cl- even though Br- is a more reactive nucleophile tha
Kamila [148]

Answer:

A. (CH3)3C-I reacts by SN1 mechanism whose rate is independent of nucleophile reactivity.

Explanation:

We must recall that (CH3)3C-I is a tertiary alkyl halide. Tertiary alkyl halides preferentially undergo substitution reaction via SN1 mechanism.

In SN1 mechanism, the rate of reaction depends solely on the concentration of the alkyl halide (unimolecular mechanism) and is independent of the concentration of the nucleophile. As a result of this, both Br^- and Cl^- react at the same rate.

Nitrogen monoxide, NO, reacts with hydrogen, H₂, according to the following equation.
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer : The rate law for the overall reaction is, Rate=k[NO]^2[H_2]

Explanation :

Rate law : It is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

As we are given the mechanism for the reaction :

Step 1 : 2NO+H_2\rightarrow N_2+H_2O_2    (slow)

Step 2 : H_2O_2+H_2\rightarrow 2H_2O     (fast)

Overall reaction : 2NO+2H_2\rightarrow N_2+2H_2O

The rate law expression for overall reaction should be in terms of NO\text{ and }H_2.

As we know that the slow step is the rate determining step. So,

The slow step reaction is,

2NO+H_2\rightarrow N_2+H_2O_2

The expression of rate law for this reaction will be,

Rate=k[NO]^2[H_2]

Hence, the rate law for the overall reaction is, Rate=k[NO]^2[H_2]
