Answer: It will take 6.93 sec for tracer concentration to drop by 50% and 13.9 sec for tracer concentration to drop by 75%

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  =0.1s^{-1}

t = age of sample  

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 100 g

a - x = amount left after decay process  

a) for tracer concentration to drop by 50%

a - x = amount left after decay process   = 50

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{50}

t=\frac{0.693}{0.1}

t=6.93sec

It will take 6.93 sec for tracer concentration to drop by 50%

b) for  tracer concentration to drop by 75 %

a - x = amount left after decay process   = 25

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{100-75}

t=\frac{2.303}{0.1}\times \log\frac{100}{25}

t=13.9sec

It will take 13.9 sec for tracer concentration to drop by 75%.

How to determine the type of hybridization in a coordination compound​
Drupady [299]

Answer:

1. The metal atom/ion in these compounds are Ni and Ni2+ respectively.

2. The electrons from s oribital will jump to d orbital and so I expect CO to donate electron pairs in 4p and 4s orbitals and form sp3 hybridisation.

A monatomic ideal gas expands slowly to twice its original volume, doing 340 JJ of work in the process. Part APart complete Find
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

A) if the system is isothermal then all the heat added to the system will be used to do work (since none is used to raise the temperature of the gas). The heat added will be equal to the work done = 340 J

B) change in internal energy of the system of the process is isothermal will be zero, since there is no rise in temperature.

C) an adiabatic process is one involving no heat loss or gain through the system, Therefore heat gain will be zero

D) if the process is adiabatic then there is no heat loss or gain through the system and hence there is no change in temperature. Change in internal energy will be zero

E) if the process is isobaric then, there is no work done and the total heat to the system is equal zero

F) if there is no work done, and no heat added, then the internal energy will be equal zero.

A solution of K2SO4 and KCl is added to a solution of Ba(NO3)2. Which of these compounds will precipitate out of this combined s
Archy [21]

A solution of K2SO4 and KCl is added to a solution of Ba(NO3)2. BaS0₄ (s) will precipitate out of this combined solution.

Molecular equation

K2SO4(aq) + Ba(NO3)2(aq)  → BaSO4(s) + 2 KNO3(aq)?

This equation represents a double displacement (replacement) reaction, also called a metathesis reaction, in which the reactant ions exchange places to form new products. The general equation is:

A-B + C-D → A-D + C-B;

where A and C are cations, and B and D are anions.

Complete ionic equation: Includes all ions and the precipitate.

2K^+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq) + Ba^2+(aq) + 2[NO3]^-(aq) → 2K^+(aq) + 2[NO3]^- + BaSO4(s)

In an aqueous solution, precipitation is the process of transforming a dissolved substance into an insoluble solid from a super-saturated solution.

The solid formed is called the precipitate. In case of an inorganic chemical reaction leading to precipitation, the chemical reagent causing the solid to form is called the precipitant.
