Answer:

The concentration  of methyl isonitrile will become 15% of the initial value after 10.31 hrs.

Explanation:

As the data the rate constant is not given in this description, However from observing the complete question  the rate constant is given as a rate constant of 5.11x10-5s-1 at 472k .

Now the ratio of two concentrations is given as

ln (\frac{C}{C_0})=-kt

Here C/C_0 is the ratio of concentration which is given as 15% or 0.15.

k is the rate constant which is given as 5.11 \times 10^{-5} \, s^{-1}

So time t is given as

ln (\frac{C}{C_0})=-kt\\ln(0.15)=-5.11 \times 10^{-5} \times t\\t=\frac{ln(0.15)}{-5.11 \times 10^{-5} }\\t=37125.6 s\\t=37125.6/3600 \\t= 10.31 \, hrs

So the concentration will become 15% of the initial value after 10.31 hrs.

Complete question:

The rearrangement of methyl isonitrile (CH3NC) to acetonitrile (CH3NC) is a first-order reaction and has a rate constant of 5.11x10-5s-1 at 472k . If the initial concentration of CH3NC is 3.00×10-2M. How many hours will it take for the concentration of methyl isonitrile to drop to 15.0 % of its initial value?

Answer:

The time taken for the concentration of methyl isonitrile to drop to 15.0 % of its initial value is 10.3 hours

Explanation:

The initial concentration of CH3NC is 3.00 X 10⁻²M =0.03M

The rate constant  K= 5.11 X 10⁻⁵s⁻¹

If the concentration of methyl isonitrile to drop to 15.0 %;

The new concentration of methyl isonitrile becomes 0.15 X 0.03 = 0.0045 M

The time taken to drop to 0.0045 M, can be calculated as follows:

t = -ln[\frac{(CH_3NC)}{(CH_3NC)_0}]/K

t = (-ln[\frac{0.0045}{0.03}]/5.11 X 10^{-5})X(\frac{1 min}{60 s}) = 618.8 mins

→ 618.8 mins X 1hr/60mins = 10.3 hours

Therefore, the time taken for the concentration of methyl isonitrile to drop to 15.0 % of its initial value is 10.3 hours

Answer:hemoglobin that has a high affinity for oxygen

Explanation:

Haemoglobin is the oxygen carrying pigment in blood. It performs this function because of the presence of iron at the center of the haemoglobin which coordinates reversibly with oxygen thereby aiding delivery of oxygen to cells. At high altitudes where air is thinner and the partial pressure of oxygen is lower than sea level, haemoglobin must develop a greater affinity for oxygen in order to carry the scarce oxygen to cells.

A substance has a volume of 10.0 cm3 and a mass of 89 grams. What is its density?
Irina18 [472]
Remembering that
d = m ÷ v

d = ?
m = 89 g
v = 10 cm³

Therefore:

d = 89 ÷ 10

d = 8,9 g÷cm³
