Answer:
About 60.
Explanation:
Mendeleev knew of 63 elements. He wrote their properties on cards and arranged them in order of atomic mass.
That's how he discovered that the properties of elements are periodic functions of their atomic masses.
Redox Reaction is an ionic bond
Rate law for the given 2nd order reaction is:
Rate = k[a]2
Given data:
rate constant k = 0.150 m-1s-1
initial concentration, [a] = 0.250 M
reaction time, t = 5.00 min = 5.00 min * 60 s/s = 300 s
To determine:
Concentration at time t = 300 s i.e. ![[a]_{t}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ba%5D_%7Bt%7D)
Calculations:
The second order rate equation is:
![1/[a]_{t} = kt +1/[a]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=1%2F%5Ba%5D_%7Bt%7D%20%3D%20kt%20%2B1%2F%5Ba%5D)
substituting for k,t and [a] we get:
1/[a]t = 0.150 M-1s-1 * 300 s + 1/[0.250]M
1/[a]t = 49 M-1
[a]t = 1/49 M-1 = 0.0204 M
Hence the concentration of 'a' after t = 5min is 0.020 M
I believe the correct response would be D. At least 2 of the above statements are correct.
