Answer:

66.7s

Explanation:

Let's bring out the parameters we were given...

Half life = ?

Initial Concentration = 0.0576 M

Final Concentration = 0.0249 M

Time for the concentration change to occur = 97.8s - 17.1s = 80.7s

Formular for half life (t1/2) is given as;

t1/2 = ln2 / k   ≈   0.693 / k

where k = rate constant

From the formular of first order reactions;

ln[A] = ln[A]o − kt

where [A] = Final Concentration and [A]o = Initial Concentration

Inserting the values, we have;

ln(0.0249) = ln(0.0576) - k(80.7)

Upon solving for k, we have;

-0.8387 = -k(80.7)

k = 0.01039 s−1

t1/2 = 0.693 / k = 0.693 / 0.01039 = 66.7s

Why do atoms share electrons in covalent bonds??
ra1l [238]
Atoms in covalent bonds do combine so as to be stable. As covalent bond consist non metals e.g O2 in this example each atom has vacance of 2 orbitals/ electrons so shairing electrons result their stability

What is rate of reaction? Discuss in brief slow and fast reactions.<br>​
Sindrei [870]
The reaction rate or rate of reaction is the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place, defined as proportional to the increase in the concentration of a product per unit time and to the decrease in the concentration of a reactant per unit time.

Reactions that happen quickly have a high rate of reaction. For example, the chemical weathering of rocks is a very slow reaction: it has a low rate of reaction. Explosions are very fast reactions: they have a high rate of reaction. Rate of reaction is an example of a compound measure.

The element lanthanum has two stable isotopes, lanthanum-138 with an atomic mass of 137.9 AMU and lanthanum-139 with an atomic m
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

A. there is an isotope of lanthanum with an atomic mass of 138.9

Explanation:

By knowing the different atomic masses of both Lanthanum atoms, we can not tell anything about their occurence in nature. Therefore, all the last three options are incorrect. Because, the atomic mass does not tell anything about the availability or natural abundance of an element.

Now, the isotopes of an element are those elements, which have same number of electrons and protons as the original element, but different number of neutrons. Therefore, they have same atomic number but, different atomic weight or atomic masses.

Hence, by looking at an elements having same atomic number, but different atomic masses, we can identify them as isotopes.

Thus, the correct option is:

<u>A. there is an isotope of lanthanum with an atomic mass of 138.9.</u>
