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

A sample of octane undergoes combustion according to the equation 2 C8H18 + 25 O2 → 16 CO2 + 18 H2O ΔH°rxn = -11018 kJ. What mas
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{528.7 g} }

Explanation:

It often helps to write the heat as if it were a reactant or a product in the thermochemical equation.

Then you can consider it to be 11018 "moles" of "kJ"  

We will need a chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.

M_r:                      32.00

              2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ ⟶ 16CO₂ + 8H₂O + 11 018 kJ

n/mol:                                                                  7280

1. Moles of O₂

The molar ratio is 25 mol O₂:11 018 kJ

\text{Moles of O}_{2} = \text{7280 kJ} \times \dfrac{\text{25 mol O}_{2}}{\text{11 018 kJ}} = \text{16.52 mol O}_{2}

2. Mass of O₂

\text{Mass of C$_{8}$H}_{18} = \text{16.52 mol O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{32.00 g O}_{2}}{\text{1 mol O}_{2}} = \textbf{528.6 g O}_{2}\\\text{The reaction requires $\large \boxed{\textbf{528.67 g O}_{2}}$}

Find the number of moles of water that can be formed if you have 230 mol of hydrogen gas and 110 mol of oxygen gas
Verdich [7]

Answer:

220mol.

Explanation:

Water is H2O. Hydrogen gas is H2. Oxygen gas is O2. You have 220mol of O and 460mol of H. O is the limiting reactant. The ratio O:H2O is 1:1. 220*1=220

Which option is an example of a chemical property?
strojnjashka [21]
Answer: B= Rusting ability
Explanation:
Physical property is defined as the property which can be measured and whose value describes the state of physical system. For Example: State, density etc.
Chemical property is defined as the property of a substance which is observed during a reaction where the chemical composition identity of the substance gets changed.
1. Boiling point: is a physical property as there is a change of state.
2. Rusting ability: is a chemical property as there is formation of new substances.
3. Melting point: is a physical property as there is a change of state.
4. Density: is a physical property as there is no formation of new substances.

How much heat is needed warm 65.34 g of water from 18.43 to 21.75
BaLLatris [955]

Given that  

Mass of water = 65.34 g

Amount of heat = mass of water * specific heat (temperature change

)

= 65.34 g * 4.184 J / g-C ( 21.75-18.43 )C

= 907.63  J  

= 0.908 KJ

And  

1 cal = 4.186798 J

907.63 J * 1 cal / 4.186798 J =216.78  cal

Or0.218 kcal
