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

At a given temperature, the elementary reaction A − ⇀ ↽ − B , A↽−−⇀B, in the forward direction, is first order in A A with a rat
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The equilibrium constant for the reversible reaction = 0.0164

Explanation:

At equilibrium the rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of backwards reaction.

The reaction is given as

A ⇌ B

Rate of forward reaction is first order in [A] and the rate of backward reaction is also first order in [B]

The rate of forward reaction = |r₁| = k₁ [A]

The rate of backward reaction = |r₂| = k₂ [B]

(Taking only the magnitudes)

where k₁ and k₂ are the forward and backward rate constants respectively.

k₁ = 0.010 s⁻¹

k₂ = 0.0610 s⁻¹

|r₁| = 0.010 [A]

|r₂| = 0.016 [B]

At equilibrium, the rate of forward and backward reactions are equal

|r₁| = |r₂|

k₁ [A] = k₂ [B] (eqn 1)

Note that equilibrium constant, K, is given as

K = [B]/[A]

So, from eqn 1

k₁ [A] = k₂ [B]

[B]/[A] = (k₁/k₂) = (0.01/0.0610) = 0.0163934426 = 0.0164

K = [B]/[A] = (k₁/k₂) = 0.0164

Hope this Helps!!!

Given the following information:Br2 bond energy = 193 kJ/mol F2 bond energy = 154 kJ/mol 1/2Br2(g) + 3/2F2(g) -&gt; BrF3(g) = –3
arlik [135]

Answer:

C) 712 KJ/mol

Explanation:

  • ΔH°r = Σ Eb broken - Σ Eb formed
  • 1/2Br2(g) + 3/2F2(g) → BrF3(g)

∴ ΔH°r = - 384 KJ/mol

∴ Br2 Eb = 193 KJ/mol

∴ F2 Eb = 154 KJ/mol

⇒ Σ Eb broken = (1/2)(Br-Br) + (3/2)(F-F)

⇒ Σ Eb broken =  (1/2)(193 KJ/mol) + (3/2)(154 KJ/mol) = 327.5 KJ/mol

∴ Eb formed: Br-F

⇒ Σ Eb formed (Br-F) = Σ Eb broken - ΔH°r

⇒ Eb (Br-F) = 327.5 KJ/mol - ( - 384 KJ/mol )

⇒ Eb Br-F = 327.5 KJ/mol + 384 KJ/mol = 711.5 KJ/mol ≅ 712 KJ/mol
