Consequences of oxygenation. Eventually, oxygen started to accumulate in the atmosphere, with two major consequences. Oxygen likely oxidized atmospheric methane (a strong greenhouse gas) to carbon dioxide (a weaker one) and water.
I believe that sugar is a compound because there are elements that make up sugar
A: Trial 1, because the average rate of the reaction is lower.
The rate of reaction is the speed with which reactants are converted into products. It is also the rate at which reactants disappear and products appear. The higher the rate of reaction, the greater the amount of product formed in a reaction.
If we look at the graph, we will realize that trial 1 produces a lesser amount of product than trial 2. This implies that the average rate of the reaction in trial 1 is lower than in trial 2.
Lower average rate of reaction implies lower concentration of the reactants since the rate of reaction depends on the concentration of reactants.
Hence trial 1 has a lower concentration of reactants because the average rate of the reaction is lower.
The rate constant of the reaction K we can get it from this formula:
K=㏑2/ t1/2 and when we have this given (missing in question):
that we have one jar is labeled t = 0 S and has 16 yellow spheres inside and the jar beside it labeled t= 10 and has 8 yellow spheres and 8 blue spheres and the yellow spheres represent the reactants A and the blue represent the products B
So when after 10 s and we were having 16 yellow spheres as reactants and becomes 8 yellow and 8 blue spheres as products so it decays to the half amount so we can consider T1/2 = 10 s
a) by substitution in K formula:
∴ K = ㏑2 / 10 = 0.069
The amount of A (the reactants) after N half lives = Ao / 2^n
b) so no.of yellow spheres after 20 s (2 half-lives) = 16/2^2 = 4
and the blue spheres = Ao - no.of yellow spheres left = 16 - 4 = 12
c) The no.of yellow spheres after 30 s (3 half-lives) = 16/2^3 = 2
and the blue spheres = 16 - 2 = 14
