Suppose the half-life is 9.0 s for a first order reaction and the reactant concentration is 0.0741 M 50.7 s after the reaction s

tarts. How many seconds after the start of the reaction does it take for the reactant concentration to decrease to 0.0055 M?

<u>Answer:</u> The time taken by the reaction is 84.5 seconds

<u>Explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate half life for first order kinetics:

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

where,

t_{1/2} = half-life of the reaction = 9.0 s

k = rate constant = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

k=\frac{0.693}{9}=0.077s^{-1}

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

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}     ......(1)

where,

k = rate constant  = 0.077s^{-1}

t = time taken for decay process = 50.7 sec

[A_o] = initial amount of the reactant = ?

[A] = amount left after decay process =  0.0741 M

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.077=\frac{2.303}{50.7}\log\frac{[A_o]}{0.0741}

[A_o]=3.67M

Now, calculating the time taken by using equation 1:

[A]=0.0055M

k=0.077s^{-1}

[A_o]=3.67M

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.077=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{3.67}{0.0055}\\\\t=84.5s

Hence, the time taken by the reaction is 84.5 seconds

4. Imagine you have a radioactive sample containing both Virtualium and decayed atoms of Virtualium. After analysis, you find it
Romashka [77]

My sample would be 4000 years old because on my graph, I had about 9 Virtualium left at trial 4 so I am guessing that it would be 4000 years old.

How many grams are in 11.9 moles of chromirum
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Method 1 proportion

1 mole of chromium is 52 grams

11.9 moles = x grams

1/11.9 = 52/x                    Cross multiply

x = 11.9 * 52

x = 618.8                         grams

Now I have used an approximate mass for Chromium. The answer you get here is expected to reflect the weigth given on your periodic table Use that to get your answer. You should give a number very close to mine. Round to 3 places as in 619.

Method Two  Formula

mols = given mass / molecular mass

11.9 = given mass /  51.9961          Multiply both sides by  51.9961

11.9 *51.9961  = given mass            

given mass = 618.75

given mass = 619

Consider the reaction below. Initially the concentration of SO2Cl2 is 0.1000 M. Solve for the equilibrium concentration of SO2Cl
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

[SO_2Cl_2] = 0.09983 M

Explanation:

Write the balance chemical equation ,

SO_2Cl_2((g) = SO_2(g) + Cl_2(g)

initial concenration of SO_2Cl_2((g)  =0.1M

lets assume that degree of dissociation=\alpha

concenration of each component at equilibrium:

[SO_2Cl_2] = 0.1-0.1\alpha

[SO_2] = 0.1\alpha

[Cl_2] = 0.1\alpha

Kc =\frac{0.1\alpha \times 0.1\alpha}{0.1-0.1\alpha}

Kc =\frac{0.1\alpha \times \alpha}{1-\alpha}

as \alpha is very small then we can neglect  1-\alpha

therefore ,

Kc ={0.1\alpha \times \alpha}

\alpha =\sqrt{\frac{Kc}{0.1}}

\alpha = 1.73 \times 10^{-3}

Eqilibrium concenration of [SO_2Cl_2] = 0.1-0.1\alpha = 0.1-0.1\times 0.00173

[SO_2Cl_2] = 0.09983 M
