Answer:

473 year

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:

To reach 12.5% of reactant means that 0.125 of [A_0] is decomposed. So,

\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]} = 0.125

t = ?

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

0.125=e^{-0.00440\times t}

t = 473 year

In which of the following types of solution is the rate of dissociation equal to the rate of crystallization? Concentrated Super
Butoxors [25]

In a <u>Saturated </u>solution, the rate of dissociation equal to the rate of crystallization

Explanation:

A saturated solution is one than cannot dissolve any more solute because the solutes inter-molecular spaces are filled with the solute molecules at that temperature. When an attempt is made to dissolve more solute into the solution, the rate at which the solute is dissolved into the solution is equal to the rate at which excess solute is precipitated and crystallized.

Which of the following items is a salt? (1 point)
Tems11 [23]

  • Calcium carbonate is the  salt  among the given options.

  • Calcium carbonate ( CaCO3) can be regarded as  which appears as white and odorless powder or  as a colorless crystals it is  insoluble in water.

  • The chemical  formula is CaCO3. It can be used as an antacid as well as food colouring and a  food firming agent and a fertilizer.

  • Calcium carbonate is calcium salt as well as carbonate salt with one-carbon compound

  • Salt can be regarded as substance which is  produced by reaction between acid and  base. It  consists negative ion (anion) of that acid as well as positive ion (cation) of the base.

  • Sodium hydroxide is a base and not a salt

  • Carbonic acid is an acid and not a salt

  • Therefore, calcium carbonate is the only salt in the among the given options.

What is the mass of an element with 15 protons, 13 electrons, and 11 neutrons? *
RSB [31]

Answer:

The mass of the element is 26.20 amu

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the mass of an element with 15 protons, 13 electrons and 11 neutrons

To calculate the atomic mass of the element, we take into consideration the masses of the individual sub atomic particles

Electrons have 0 atomic mass unit(their masses are negligible) we have no business here, Protons have a mass of

1.00727647 amu, while the mass of neutron is 1.0086654 amu

The mass of 15 protons is thus 15 * 1.00727647 = 15.10914705 amu

The mass of 11 neutrons is 11 * 1.0086654 =

11.0953194 amu

Adding this together, we have ; 11.0953194 + 15.10914705 = approximately 26.20 amu
