Answer:

2.038 seconds.

Explanation:

So, in the question above we are given the following parameters in order to solve this question. We are given a rate constant of 0.500 s^-, initial concentration= 0.860 M and final concentration= 0.310 M,the time,t =??.

Assuming that the equation for the first order of reaction is given below,that is;

A ---------------------------------> products.

Recall the formula below;

B= B° e^-kt.

Therefore, e^-kt = B/B°.

-kt = ln B/B°.

kt= ln B°/B.

Where B° and B are the amount of the initial concentration and the amount of the concentration remaining, k is the rate constant and t = time taken for the concentration to decrease.

So, we have; time taken,t = ln( 0.860/.310)/0.500.

==> ln 2.77/0.500.

==> time taken,t =2.038 seconds.

Suppose you need to prepare 141.9 mL of a 0.223 M aqueous solution of NaCl. What mass of NaCl do you need to use to make the sol

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

1.811 g

Explanation:

The computation of the mass need to use to make the solution is shown below:

We know that molarity is

$Molarity = \frac{Number\ of\ moles}{Volume\ in\ L}$

So,

$Number\ of\ moles = Molarity\ \times Volume\ in\ L$

$= 0.223\times 0.141$

= 0.031 moles

Now

$Mass = moles \times Molecualr\ weight$

where,

The Molecular weight of NaCl is 58.44 g/mole

And, the moles are 0.031 moles

So, the mass of NaCL is

$= 0.031 \times 58.44$

= 1.811 g

We simply applied the above formulas

Identify the ion ratios needed to form neutral compounds from the ions below. The metal ion (cation) is listed first, and the no

Natasha2012 [34]

To figure out the ratios of these compounds, it is important to remember that the charge of these compounds must be <em>neutral</em>.

So in order to make them neutral, you must have specific ratios:

$Na^{+}: Br^{-} =1:1$ ; This is true because they both have a charge of magnitude of 1.

$Al^{3+}: Cl^{-}=1:3$ ; We need 3 chlorine atoms because we need to balance out the charge from the 3+ charge of aluminum - therefore since chlorine has a 1- charge, we need 3 atoms.

$Mg^{2+}: O^{2-}=1:1$ ; The charges of the magnesium (2+) are balanced with the oxygen charge (2-).

$Al^{3+}: O^{2-}=2:3$ ; This is correct because if charges are like this, you must find the least common factor in order to know the ratio. The LCF is 6, therefore, for the atom with a 3+ charge, you need 2 of them, and for the atom with a 2- charge, you need 3 of them. This keeps the charge neutral.
