According to half life equation:

T(1/2) = ㏑2 / K1

when the T(1/2) = 4 min * 60 = 240 sec

by substitution:

240 = 0.6931 / K1

K1 = 2.9 x 10^-3

when the second T(1/2) = 20 sec, so to get K2:

T(1/2) = 0.6931 / K2

by substitution:

20 = 0.6931 / K2

∴K2 = 3.4 x 10^-2

so, we can get T2 by using this formula:

㏑ (K2/K1) = Ea/R (1/T1 - 1/T2)

by substitution:

㏑(3.4 x 10^-2)/(2.9 x 10^-3) = (24520 / 8.314) (1/298 - 1/T2)

∴ T2 = 396.7 K

         = 396.7 - 273 = 123.7 °C

For the reaction NH4NO3 (s) → N2O (g) + 2H2O (l), you decompose 1 mole NH4NO3 and only get 0.75 moles of N2O. The percent yield
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The answer to your question is False.

Explanation:

Data

1 mole of NH₄NO₃

0.75 moles of N₂O

Percent yield = 25%

Chemical reaction

               NH₄NO₃   ⇒   N₂O  +  2H₂O

Process

1.- Determine the theoretical yield

              1 mol NH₄NO₃ ------------- 1 mol of N₂O

2.- Calculate the percent yield

             Percent yield = Actual yield / Theoretical yield  x 100

-Substitution

              Percent yield = 0.75 / 1 x 100

-Simplification

              Percent yield = 0.75 x 100

-Result

              Percent yield = 75%

Conclusion

False, the actual percent yield is 75%

Butter goes rancid if we keep it outside the fridge.
rjkz [21]
Salted butter does not need to be stored in the fridge since the risk of bacterial growth is so low. ... However, it will stay fresh longer if it is kept in the refrigerator. Refrigeration slows down the process of oxidation, which will eventually cause butter to go rancid.

I hope this helps!

What is the correct order of decreasing size of the following ions?
Alja [10]

Answer:

C) P3– > Cl– > K+ > Ca2+

Explanation:

Ionic radius can be defined as the distance between the nucleus and the electron in the outermost shell of atom in its ionic state. When an atom looses an electrons(Cation) its ionic radius decreases, whereas when an atom gains an electron(anion), its ionic radius increases.

Among the given ions the ionic radius of

P^{-3} =212 pm

Cl^{-1} =167 pm

K^{+} =152 pm

Ca^{+2} =114 pm

all distances are in picometer.

clearly,

option C is correct that is

C) P3– > Cl– > K+ > Ca2+

2. How would type of substance affect the rate of reaction?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer: IN terms of the collision theory, increasing the concentration of a reactant increases in the number of collisions between the reacting species per second and therefore increases the reaction rate.
