Acetone is one of the most important solvents in organic chemistry. It is used to dissolve everything from fats and waxes to air

plane glue and nail polish. At high temperatures, it decomposes in a first-order process to methane and ketene (CH2═C═O). At 600°C, the rate constant is 8.7 × 10−3 s−1. (a) What is the half-life of the reaction? Give your answer in scientific notatio

Answer:

The half-life time, the team equired for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value, is 79.67 seconds.

Explanation:

The half-life time = the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value. Half of it's value = 50%.

To calculate the half-life time we use the following equation:

[At]=[Ai]*e^(-kt)

with [At] = Concentration at time t

with [Ai] = initial concentration

with k = rate constant

with t = time

We want to know the half-life  time = the time needed to have 50% of it's initial value

50 = 100 *e^(-8.7 *10^-3 s^- * t)

50/100 = e^(-8.7 *10^-3 s^-1 * t)

ln (0.5) = 8.7 *10^-3 s^-1 *t

t= ln (0.5) / -8.7 *10^-3  = 79.67 seconds

The half-life time, the team equired for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value, is 79.67 seconds.

When a reaction occurs between atoms with ground state electron configuration 1s2 2s1 and 1s2 2s2 2p5 the predominant type of bo
fenix001 [56]

Answer: The bond formed between the elements will be ionic bond.

Explanation: We are given two elements having electronic configurations:

Element 1: 1s^22s^1

Element 2: 1s^22s^22p^5

Element 1 can easily loose 1 electron to attain stable electronic configuration and Element 2 can accept 1 electron to attain stable electronic configuration.

For these elements, there will be a complete transfer of electron from Element 1 to Element 2. Hence, this will form a ionic bond.

From the configuration, Element 1 is Lithium and Element 2 is Fluoride. So, the compound is LiF.

Draw the cis and trans isomers of 2-butene, ch3chchch3. show all hydrogen atoms.
RoseWind [281]
In general chemistry, isomers are two or more elements that have the same number of protons but differ in mass number. In organic chemistry, the compounds are cis or trans isomers if they have the same chemical formula, but differ in the placement of functional groups based on molecular geometry. Cis isomer is when two like functional groups are on the same side of the molecules, while trans isomer is when the like functional groups are on opposite sides. 

The cis-trans isomers are shown in the picture. As you can see, in the cis isomer, the methane functional group are both in the same side. Same as well with the hydrogen atoms. On the other hand, these functional groups are opposite to each other in the trans isomer.
