Answer:

52 da  

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever a question asks you, "How long to reach a certain concentration?" or something similar, you must use the appropriate integrated rate law expression.

The i<em>ntegrated rate law for a first-order reaction </em>is  

ln([A₀]/[A] ) = kt

Data:

[A]₀ = 750 mg

 [A] =    68 mg

t_ ½ =   15 da

Step 1. Calculate the value of the rate constant.

 t_½ = ln2/k     Multiply each side by k

kt_½ = ln2         Divide each side by t_½

      k = ln2/t_½

         = ln2/15

         = 0.0462 da⁻¹

Step 2. Calculate the time

ln(750/68) = 0.0462t

         ln11.0 = 0.0462t

            2.40 = 0.0462t     Divide each side by 0.0462

                   t = 52 da

Does sugar can dissolve in ccl4​
wel

Answer:

Sugar is a polar compound , in the solid state of it Hydrogen bond strongly binds the molicules of sugar together. Being a non polar solvent and low polarity difference between Cl and C atom C—Cl bond in CCl4 is unable to form hydrogen bond. That's why sugar can't be soluble in CCl4.

Pls hurrry<br>what are greenhouse effect 1 paragraph and come friends
Kay [80]
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth’s surface. When the Sun’s energy reaches the Earth’s atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse gases include water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and some artificial chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
The absorbed energy warms the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth. This process maintains the Earth’s temperature at around 33 degrees Celsius warmer than it would otherwise be, allowing life on Earth to exist.

Which of the following is true about the kinetic molecular theory?
velikii [3]

Answer: (B) Pressure is due to the collisions of the gas particles with the walls of the container.

Option B helps to explain the factor behind gas collision under high pressure.

Explanation: Kinetic molecular theory explains the behaviour and movement of gas particles when they are in motion. It states that gas particles are always in continuous motion and are perfectly elastic in nature.

Kinetic molecular theory can be explained using both Boyle's law and Charles's law.

•Few Assumptions of Kinetic Molecular Theory.

1. Gas particles are always in motion and they collide with the walls of their container.

2. The space occupied by a gas particles is negligible in comparison to the volume of the gas
