Answer:

In 23.49 minutes the concentration of A to be 66.8% of the initial concentration.

Explanation:

The equation used to calculate the constant for first order kinetics:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}} .....(1)

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]} ......(2)

where,  

k = rate constant

t_{1/2} =Half life of the reaction = 2.42\times 10^3 s

t = time taken for decay process = ?

[A_o] = initial amount of the reactant = 0.163 M

[A] = amount left after time t =  66.8% of [A_o]

[A]=\frac{66.8}{100}\times 0.163 M=0.108884 M

k=\frac{0.693}{2.42\times 10^3 s}

t=\frac{2.303}{\frac{0.693}{2.42\times 10^3 s}}\log\frac{0.163 M}{0.108884 M}

t = 1,409.19 s

1 minute = 60 sec

t=\frac{1,409.19 }{60} min=23.49 min

In 23.49 minutes the concentration of A to be 66.8% of the initial concentration.

E85 fuel is a mixture of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline by volume. What mass in kilograms of E85 (d = 0.758 g/mL) can be contained
alexandr402 [8]

The answer is: mass is 40.17 kilograms.

d = 0.758 g/mL; density of fuel.

V = 14.0 gal; volume.

A gallon is a unit of volume in both the US customary and imperial systems of measurement. The US gallon is defined as 231 cubic inches (3.785 liters).

1 gal = 3785.41 mL.

V = 14 gal · 3785.41 mL:

V = 52995.74 mL.

m = 52995.74 mL · 0.758 g/mL.

m = 40170.77 g; mass of fuel.

m = 40170.77 g ÷ 1000 g/kg.

m = 40.17 kg.

Select correct examples of linear molecules for five electron groups. Select correct examples of linear molecules for five elect
Shalnov [3]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate hybridization is as follows.

                Hybridization = \frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

So, hybridization of BeCl_{2} is as follows.

              Hybridization = \frac{1}{2}[V + N - C + A]

                                    = \frac{1}{2}[2 + 2]

                                    = 2

Hybridization of BeCl_{2} is sp. Therefore, BeCl_{2} is a linear molecule. There will be only two electron groups through which Be is attached.

Similarly, hybridization of XeF_{2} is calculated as follows.

         Hybridization = \frac{1}{2}[V + N - C + A]

                                    = \frac{1}{2}[8 + 2]

                                    = 5

Therefore, hybridization of XeF_{2} is sp^{3}d. Therefore, [tex]XeF_{2} is also a linear molecule. Though there are three lone pair of electrons present on a xenon atom and it is further attached with fluorine atoms through two electron pairs. Hence, there are in total five electron groups.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options XeF_{2} is the correct examples of linear molecules for five electron groups.

Define density of a substance.
ozzi

Answer:

density, mass of a unit volume of a material substance. The formula for density is d = M/V, where d is density, M is mass, and V is volume. Density is commonly expressed in units of grams per cubic centimetre. ... Density can also be expressed as kilograms per cubic metre (in metre-kilogram-second or SI units).
