They're only found in the nucleus and play an important role in keeping the atom stable because they carry a negative charge to counteract the proton's positive charge.

maw [93]

Answer:

22.73s

Explanation:

The reaction is a second order reaction, we know this by observing the unit of the slope.

rate constant = k = 0.056 M-1s-1

the initial concentration of BrO- [A]o = 0.80 M

time = ?

Final concentration [A]t= one-half of 0.80 M = 0.40M

1 / [A]t = kt + 1 / [A]o

1 / 0.40 = 0.056 * t + 1 / 0.80

t = (2.5 - 1.25) / 0.056

t = 22.73s
