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

False, the radiation from food and medical procedures have very little consequences. The radiation from a nuclear power plant can kill people which makes it a very large problem if not contained properly.

Consider the reaction.
Alex_Xolod [135]

Note the signs of equilibrium:-

  • Reaction don't procede forward or backward
  • Concentration of products and reactants remains same .

So

if

Concentration of A is 2M then concentration of B should be same .

So equilibrium constant K is 1

\\ \rm\rightarrowtail K=\dfrac{[Products]^a}{[Reactants]^b}

So

  • [B]=[A]^2
  • [B]=2^2
  • [B]=4M
