No, not really...
A law is what is observed, while a theory is a proposed reason as to why the law happens.

The half-life of phosphorus-32 is 14.30 days. how many milligrams of a 20.00 mg sample of phosphorus-32 will remain after 85.80

ZanzabumX [31]

The amount of sample that is left after a certain period of time, given the half-life, h, can be calculated through the equation.

A(t) = A(o) (1/2)^(t/d)

where t is the certain period of time. Substituting the known values,

A(t) = (20 mg)(1/2)^(85.80/14.30)

Solving,

A(t) = 0.3125 mg

Hence, the answer is 0.3125 mg.

Be sure to answer all parts. Consider the reaction A + B → Products From the following data obtained at a certain temperature, d

worty [1.4K]

Answer : The order of reaction with respect to A is, first order reaction.

The order of reaction with respect to B is, zero order reaction.

The overall order of reaction is, first order reaction.

Explanation :

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

$A+B\rightarrow Products$

Rate law expression for the reaction:

$\text{Rate}=k[A]^a[B]^b$

where,

a = order with respect to A

b = order with respect to B

Expression for rate law for first observation:

$3.20\times 10^{-1}=k(1.50)^a(1.50)^b$ ....(1)

Expression for rate law for second observation:

$3.20\times 10^{-1}=k(1.50)^a(2.50)^b$ ....(2)

Expression for rate law for third observation:

$6.40\times 10^{-1}=k(3.00)^a(1.50)^b$ ....(3)

Dividing 1 from 2, we get:

$\frac{3.20\times 10^{-1}}{3.20\times 10^{-1}}=\frac{k(1.50)^a(2.50)^b}{k(1.50)^a(1.50)^b}\\\\1=1.66^b\\b=0$

Dividing 1 from 3, we get:

$\frac{6.40\times 10^{-1}}{3.20\times 10^{-1}}=\frac{k(3.00)^a(1.50)^b}{k(1.50)^a(1.50)^b}\\\\2=2^a\\a=1$

Thus, the rate law becomes:

$\text{Rate}=k[A]^1[B]^0$

$\text{Rate}=k[A]$

Thus,

The order of reaction with respect to A is, first order reaction.

The order of reaction with respect to B is, zero order reaction.

The overall order of reaction is, first order reaction.

How is radiation different from conduction?

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

<u>Radiation is the transfer of energy by waves, and conduction is the transfer of heat through contact with air.</u>

Explanation:

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through thermal emission.

Salt is dissolved in a flask of tap water. Distilling the mixture causes the salt to separate from the water. Which type of ener

Alik [6]

Heat energy is required.
In distillation, the solution is first heated, where heat energy is required, such as using a bunsen burner.
When the solution is heated, the water may reach its boiling point and evaporate. However, salt does not. When water molecules evaporates, it travels through a condenser that cools it down into liquid again. Therefore we get pure water. Salt is also obtained in the original beaker.
Therefore to first start this process, heat energy is required.
