Answer:

1.6 × 10³ s

Explanation:

Let's consider the following generic reaction.

A → B

The rate law is:

rate=k \times [A]^{m}

where,

rate is the reaction rate

k is the rate constant

[A] is the molar concentration of the reactant A

m is the reaction order

When m = 1, we have a first-order reaction. We can calculate the half-life for this reaction using the following expression.

t_{1/2}=\frac{ln2}{k} =\frac{ln2}{4.3 \times 10^{-4}s^{-1} }=1.6 \times 10^{3}s

nadezda [96]

Answer:

It is A).

Explanation:

Silver (Ag) goes from the  pure metal to Ag+ losing 1 electron so it is oxidised.

The hydrogen ion  gains electrons and is reduced.

How lead and iodine compound formed
ale4655 [162]
These are dissolved in water to form colourless solutions, and then mixed together. This mixing leads to a double displacement reaction, essentially resulting in the metals 'swapping' their places in the two compounds, producing lead (II) iodide, and potassium nitrate.
