Answer:

0.3 s.

Explanation:

Half-life of a first order reaction is defined as the the time taken for any fraction of the reaction to complete is independent of the initial concentration.

Half-life of a first order reaction, t° = 0.693/k

where,

t° = half-life of the reaction

k = rate constant

= 2.3 s^-1

Therefore,

t° = 0.693/2.3

= 0.30 s.

Lead has an atomic number of 82. Which statement describes all neutral atoms and ions of lead?

IRINA_888 [86]

The neutral atom of lead must have 82 protons while ions can have b or less than 82.

The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of the element.

Also, for neutral atoms, the number of protons equals the number of electrons.

In ionic form, the number of protons/electrons of an atom may vary and be different from that of the neutral form.

Positive charges mean that the ion has less proton than its neutral version while negative charges mean that it has more electrons than its neutral version.

Thus, the neutral atom of lead will contain an equal number of protons as the electrons while its ionic form can have more or less than 82 protons.

Organize the following list of atoms from lowest to highest Electronegativity:

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Barium<Strontium<Calcium <Magnesium< Beryllium

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as the ability of an atom in a bond to attract the shared electrons of the bond towards itself.

Electronegativity is a periodic trend that decreases down the group and increases across the period.

Hence, if i want to arrange Beryllium, Barium, Strontium, Magnesium, Calcium in order of increasing electronegativity, i will have;

Barium<Strontium<Calcium <Magnesium< Beryllium

I need help with 1,2,3, and 4

Schach [20]

Answer:

Problem 1: 1.85atm

Problem 2: 110mL

Problem 3: 290 mL

Problem 4: 1.14 atm

Explanation:

Problem 1

1. Data

a) P₁ = 3.25atm

b) V₁ = 755mL

c) P₂ = ?

d) V₂ = 1325 mL

r) T = 65ºC

2. Formula

Since the temeperature is constant you can use Boyle's law for idial gases:

$PV=constant\\\\P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

3. Solution

Solve, substitute and compute:

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\\\P_2=P_1V_1/V_2$

$P_2=3.25atm\times755mL/1325mL=1.85atm$

Problem 2

1. Data

a) V₁ = 125 mL

b) P₁ = 548mmHg

c) P₁ = 625mmHg

d) V₂ = ?

2. Formula

You assume that the temperature does not change, and then can use Boyl'es law again.

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

3. Solution

This time, solve for V₂:

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\\\V_2=P_1V_1/P_2$

Substitute and compute:

$V_2=548mmHg\times 125mL/625mmHg=109.6mL$

You must round to 3 significant figures:

$V_2=110mL$

Problem 3

1. Data

a) V₁ = 285mL

b) T₁ = 25ºC

c) V₂ = ?

d) T₂ = 35ºC

2. Formula

At constant pressure, Charle's law states that volume and temperature are inversely related:

$V/T=constant\\\\\\\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}$

The temperatures must be in absolute scale.

3. Solution

a) Convert the temperatures to kelvins:

T₁ = 25 + 273.15K = 298.15K

T₂ = 35 + 273.15K = 308.15K

b) Substitute in the formula, solve for V₂, and compute:

$\dfrac{V_1}{T_1`}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}\\\\\\\\\dfrac{285mL}{298.15K}=\dfrac{V_2}{308.15K}\\\\\\V_2=308.15K\times285mL/298.15K=294.6ml$

You must round to two significant figures: 290 ml

Problem 4

1. Data

a) P = 865mmHg

b) Convert to atm

2. Formula

You must use a conversion factor.

1 atm = 760 mmHg

Divide both sides by 760 mmHg

$\dfrac{1atm}{760mmHg}=\dfrac{760mmHg}{760mmHg}\\\\\\1=\dfrac{1atm}{760mmHg}$

3. Solution

Multiply 865 mmHg by the conversion factor:

$865mmHg\times \dfrac{1atm}{760mmHg}=1.14atm\leftarrow answer$
