A decomposition reaction, with a rate that is observed to slow down as the reaction proceeds, has a half-life that does not depe

nd on the initial concentration of the reactant. Which statement is most likely true for this reaction?
O A doubling of the initial concentration of the reactant results in a quadrupling of the rate.
O A plot of the natural log of the concentration of the reactant as a function of time is linear.
O The half-life of the reaction increases as the initial concentration increases.

Answer: A plot of the natural log of the concentration of the reactant as a function of time is linear.

Explanation:

Since it was explicitly stated in the question that the half life is independent of the initial concentration of the reactant then the third option must necessarily be false. Also, the plot of the natural logarithm of the concentration of reactant against time for a first order reaction is linear. In a first order reaction, the half life is independent of the initial concentration of the reactant. Hence the answer.

iren2701 [21]
Answer is Iron.

Explanation:
                    The atomic number of Iron (Fe) is 26. SO the Electronic configuration is,
 
                         Fe   =   1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d⁶

When Iron looses three electrons its electronic configuration becomes,

                         Fe³⁺   =   1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 3d⁵

Result:
          After loosing three electrons the d-shell get 5 electrons (Half-Filled D-Orbital) which is stable, Hence due to this stability Iron tends to attain +3 charge.

Please help!!!
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Option B. HgCl2

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Mass of Mercury (Hg) = 47.3g

Mass of chlorine (Cl) = 16.7g

The empirical formula for the compound can be achieved by doing the following:

Step 1:

Divide by their individual molar mass

Hg = 47.3/201 = 0.235

Cl = 16.7/35.5 = 0.470

Step 2:

Divide by the smallest to express in whole number:

Hg = 0.235/0.235 = 1

Cl = 0.470/0.235 = 2

Therefore, the empirical formula is HgCl2

Veronika [31]
Acids are ionic compounds with hydrogen at the front. Bases are ionic compounds with hydroxide at three back(bronsted definition)
A conjugate acid is a base that has gained a proton(hydrogen ion) and a conjugate base is formed when an acid has given up its proton.

The standard cell potential, E°cell, for a reaction in which two electrons are transferred between the reactants is +1.33 V. Cal
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

ΔG° = 2.57 × 10² kJ

The reaction is spontaneous.

Explanation:

<em>The standard cell potential, E°cell, for a reaction in which two electrons are transferred between the reactants is +1.33 V. Calculate the standard free energy change, ΔG°, in kJ for this reaction and determine if it is spontaneous or nonspontaneous at 25°C.</em>

<em />

We can calculate the standard Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) using the following expression.

ΔG° = -n × F × E°cell

where,

n: moles of electrons transferred

F: Faraday's constant

E°cell: standard cell potential

ΔG° = - (2 mol) × (96468 J/V . mol) × 1.33 V

ΔG° = -2.57 × 10⁵ J = 2.57 × 10² kJ

ΔG° < 0 means that the reaction is spontaneous.
