The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

The thermal decomposition of phosphine (PH3) into phosphorus and molecular hydrogen is a first-order reaction: 4PH_3(g)\rightarrow P_4(g)+6H_2(g) The half-life of the reaction is 35.0 s at 680°C. Calculate the first order rate constant.

Answer: a) The first order rate constant is 0.0198s^{-1}

b) The time after which 95% reactions gets completed is 151 seconds

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process  

a) for finding the rate constant

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

k=\frac{0.693}{35.0s}=0.0198s^{-1}

The first order rate constant is 0.0198s^{-1}

b) for completion of 95 % of reaction

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{100-95}

t=\frac{2.303}{0.0198}\log\frac{100}{5}

t=151 s

The time after which 95% reactions gets completed is 151 seconds

Answer:

The best way to admit you like him would be to act normal. Don't be someone your not and just admit to him that you like him. Yolu could do it while ya'll are talking but don't just suddenly spring it on him. If he is a true friend, your friendship will remain even if he doesn't like you back.

Silver is a white metal that is an excellent conductor. Silver tarnishes when exposed to air and light. The density of silver is
Stells [14]

Answer:

c tarnishes in air

Explanation:

After silver has been exposed to air that contains sulphur gases, discoloration would occur. there would be darkening that is caused by the reaction with gases.When any silver object tarnishes, it brings about a disfiguring of that object. Hydrogen sulphide would be needed for this to happen. silver sulphide is black and a if a thin layer should form on any surface, it ill darken it. This  is what we refer to as tarnishing.

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

mass of U-235  = 15.9 g (3 sig. figures)

Explanation:

1 atom can produce -------------------------> 3.20 x 10^-11 J energy

x atoms can produce ----------------------> 1.30 x 10^12 J energy

x = 1.30 x 10^12 / 3.20 x 10^-11

x = 4.06 x 10^22 atoms

1 mol ----------------------> 6.023 x 10^23 atoms

y mol ----------------------> 4.06 x 10^22 atoms

y = 0.0675 moles

mass of U-235 = 0.0675 x 235 = 15.8625

mass of U-235  = 15.9 g (3 sig. figures)
