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.

B. The unknown solution had the lower concentration.

Explanation:

Osmosis is a phenomenon in which the molecules of the solvent has a tendency to move through a membrane which is semipermeable from lower concentrated side to the higher concentration side, so that the concentrations on both sides of the membrane must be equal.

So the unknown solution may have lesser concentration than the isotonic solution so that molecules of that solution move from less concentrated side to the more concentrated side, so its level drops.

6.0 mol Al reacts with 4.0 mol O2 to form Al2O3.
Tema [17]

Answer:

3.0 moles Al₂O₃

Explanation:

We do not know which of the reactants is the limiting reactant. Therefore, you need to convert both of the given mole values into the product. This can be done using the mole-to-mole ratio made up of the balanced equation coefficients.

4 Al + 3 O₂ -----> 2 Al₂O₃

6.0 moles Al            2 moles Al₂O₃
----------------------  x  -------------------------  =  3.0 moles Al₂O₃
                                    4 moles Al

4.0 moles O₂           2 moles Al₂O₃
----------------------  x  -------------------------  =  2.7 moles Al₂O₃
                                    3 moles O₂

As you can see, O₂ produces the smaller amount of product. This means O₂ is the limiting reactant. Remember, the limiting reactant is the reactant which runs out before the other reactant(s) are completely reacted. As such, the actual amount of Al₂O₃ produced is 2.7 moles.

However, since this problem is directly addressing how much Al₂O₃ is produced from Al, the answer you most likely are looking for is 3.0 moles Al₂O₃.

Using molecular orbitals, determine if the following cycloaddition of 1,3-butadiene and allyl anion is thermally allowed. heat ?
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer: cycloaddition of 1,3-butadiene and allyl anion is thermally allowed.

Explanation:

Using the frontier molecular orbital approach, we consider if the symmetry of the LUMO of the diene (1,3-cyclobutadiene) and the HOMO of the dienophile allyl anion), match each other since the diels alder reaction is a symmetry allowed process. The symmetries of these frontier molecular orbitals match each other hence the reaction is thermally allowed. It should be notes that 4+2 cycloadditions are thermally allowed although they are slow.
