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 integrated rate law for a first-order reaction 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

For the reaction 2 NO(g) + 2 H2(g) => N2(g) + 2 H2O(g) the following data were collected. What is the rate law for this react

harkovskaia [24]

Answer: The rate law expression for the given reaction is written below.

Explanation:

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

$2NO(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2H_2O(g)$

Rate law expression for the reaction:

$\text{Rate}=k[NO]^2[H_2]^2$

Hence, the rate law expression for the given reaction is written above.
