Answer:

C2H5NO

Explanation:

constituent elements                    N              O               C                H

Mass composition                     0.420        0.480         0.540         0.135

mole ratio                                   0.42/14       0.48/16      0.54/12         0.135/1

                                              = 0.03                0.03             0.045         0.135

dividing by the smallest           0.03/0.03     0.03/0.03    0.045/0.03 0.135/0.03

ratio                                      =        1                      1                1.5                 4.5

                                             =        1                      1                  2                   5

EMPERICAL FORMULA = C2H5NO

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

t=23.5min

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the rate equation turns out as shown below due to the first-order kinetics:

\frac{dC_A}{dt}=-kC_A

Its integration results:

\int\limits^{C_A}_{C_A^0} { \frac{dC_A}{C_A}} \,=-k\int\limits^t_0 {} \, dt\\ln(\frac{C_A}{C_A^0})=-kt

However, the rate constant is computed by considering the given half-life time as follows:

k=\frac{ln(2)}{t_{1/2}}=\frac{ln(2)}{2.42x10^3s}=2.86x10^{-4}s^{-1}

In such a way, the required time in minutes to diminish the concentration by 66.8% of the initial turns out:

C_A=0.668C_A^0

ln(\frac{0.668C_A^0}{C_A^0})=-kt

t=\frac{-ln(0.668)}{2.86x10^{-4}s^1}=1408.3s*\frac{1min}{60s} \\t=23.5min

Best regards.

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

B and C

Explanation:

Selective breeding is a procedure that involves the purposeful breeding of selected parents in order to give rise to offsprings with desired traits. Selective breeding procedure has its own advantages, which includes the ability to produce more animal products such as milk, meat etc, however, it has disadvantages.

The disadvantages include that:

- Selectively bred animals are more likely to have some health problem

- Some desirable traits become more common in a population.
