Answer:

6 half-lives are required for the concentration of reactant to decrease to 1.56% of its original value.

Explanation:

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}

Where,

[A_t] is the concentration at time t

[A_0] is the initial concentration

Given:

Concentration is decreased to 1.56 % which means that 0.0156 of [A_0] is decomposed. So,

\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]} = 0.0156

Thus,

\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}=e^{-k\times t}

0.0156=e^{-k\times t}

kt = 4.1604

The expression for the half life is:-

Half life = 15.0 hours

t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}

Where, k is rate constant

So,  

k=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}

\frac{4.1604}{t}=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}

t = 6\times t_{1/2}

<u>6 half-lives are required for the concentration of reactant to decrease to 1.56% of its original value.</u>

Which compound (s) has(have) a molecular ion at 117 and a peak at 1720 cm-1 in its IR spectrum?
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Ethyl Acetate with a chemical configuration of : CH3CO2CH2CH3

Explanation:

Ethyl Acetate has a density of 902 kg/m³, molar mass of 88.11 g/mol and posses a boiling point of 77.1 °C.

It is to be understood that ethyl acetate is the  ester of ethanol and it is mostly produced in mass production and most especially used in the production of domestic materials especially materials like glue, efostics and dissolving agent. This is a highly toxic and flammable substance. However colorless and possess a sweet smell, it can be highly poisonous when ingested.
