For a first order reaction, the half life is inversely proportional to the rate constant.
The formula is
half life = ln(2)/k = 0.693/k
where k is the rate constant
t = 5.50 minutes
k = ln(2)/5.50 = 0.126 min^-1
Your rate constant is 0.126 min^-1.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
equilibrium happens when two things are in complete balance and thermal is in reference to heat so two things are in thermal equilibrium once they have the same temperature.
Answer:
Particles would move more freely, while still staying close together depending on the shape of the liquid
Explanation:
Melting is the process of going from a solid to a liquid due to the increase in heat/energy. This increase in heat/energy increases the speed at which the atoms within the object moves. Lets say we had an ice cube. While it is a cube, the particles inside the cube are slow and compact, staying close together.
When enough energy is gained, this makes the particles begin to move faster, gaining heat and energy which results in the ice cube melting and moving more freely than normal.
