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.

Match each element to the number of electrons in its valence shell

blondinia [14]

Answer: Be= 2, C =4, Li = 1 and B=3

Explanation:

The valence shell can be define as the outermost shell of an atom that contains the valence electrons.

Beryllium (Be), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2, = 2 electrons in its valence shell.

Carbon (C), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2 2p2, = 4 electrons in its valence shell.

Lithium (Li), electronic configuration; 1s2 2s1 = 1 electron in its valence shell.

Boron (B) , electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2 2p1 = 3 electron in its valence shell.

Difference between shell and subshell?

juin [17]

The "sub shells" are the orientations and shapes for your orbitals, going in order by Shells are a collection of subshells with the same principle quantum number, and subshells are a collection of orbitals with the same principle quantum number and angular momentum quantum number. Hope this helps :)

Which is a homogeneous mixture

klemol [59]

A homogeneous mixture is a mixture that is mixed so well together that you cannot see the different components that make up the mixture as the ingredients will not separate out, even over time.

Use the drop-down menus to complete each statement.

aleksley [76]

Explanation:

1. Have many moons:

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the biggest in the Solar System and it has fifty-three moons which are confirmed and twenty-six provisional moons and totally it has seventy-nine moons and it is the only planet which has many moons.

2. Have a rocky composition:

The planets which have rocky composition are also called the terrestrial planets.
The planets which have rocky composition are listed below mercury, venus, earth, and mars and they are smaller in size.

3. Revolve quickly around the Sun:

Mercury is the quickest planet, which rushes around the sun at 47.87 km/s. And it revolves around the sun quickly.

4. Rotate quickly on their axes:

The giant gas planets like Jupiter, Saturn, etc... spin more quickly on their axes than the other planets

Boron (B) has two isotopes, boron-10 and boron-11. The atomic weight of boron is ?

suter [353]

Answer:

Approximately 10,5

Explanation:

The question is not really very specific, because it would need the percentages of those isotopes in the nature. As they are not shown, it should be the median of those two numbers.

atomic weight ≈ $\frac{10+11}{2}$ = 10,5

If you check a periodic table, you'll see it's actually 10,8, but that's because of the thing I told you at first (percentages missing).

Hope I could help.
