The half-life of a pesticide determines its persistence in the environment. A common pesticide degrades in a first-order process

with a rate constant of 6.5 1/hours. What is the half-life in hours of the breakdown reaction? Enter to 4 decimal places.

Answer:

0.1066 hours

Explanation:

A common pesticide degrades in a first-order process with a rate constant (k) of 6.5 1/hours. We can calculate its half-life (t1/2), that is, the times that it takes for its concentration to be halved, using the following expression.

t1/2 = ln2/k

t1/2 = ln2/6.5 h⁻¹

t1/2 = 0.1066 h

The half-life of the pesticide is 0.1066 hours.

Given the balanced equation:
Marta_Voda [28]
The answer is (2) A bond is formed and energy is released. The left side of equation is I atom and the right side of equation is I2 molecule. So the bond is formed between I atom to form I2 molecule. And forming bond will release energy while breaking bond will absorb energy.

What determines the strength of an arrhenius base? give one example each of an aqueous solution of a strong base and an aqueous
IceJOKER [234]
The strength of an Arrhenius base determines percentage of ionization of base and the number of OH⁻ ions formed. 
Strong base completely ionize in water and gives a lot of hydroxide ions (OH⁻), for example sodium hydroxide: NaOH(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).
Weak  base partially ionize in water and gives a few hydroxide ions (OH⁻), for example ammonia: NH₃ + H₂O(l) ⇄ NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).

Try to make only one molecule of water in the simulation. Is it possible?
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

A single molecule of water has been isolated for the first time by trapping it in a fullerene cage. Water molecules are never found alone — they are always hydrogen-bonded to other molecules of water or polar compounds.

While making small volumes of pure water in a lab is possible, it's not practical to “make” large volumes of water by mixing hydrogen and oxygen together. The reaction is expensive, releases lots of energy, and can cause really massive explosions.

A water molecule consists of three atoms; an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, which are bond together like little magnets. The atoms consist of matter that has a nucleus in the centre. The difference between atoms is expressed by atomic numbers.
