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.

Conserving water can save money while protecting the environment. True or False
blagie [28]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation:

Water is a natural resource present in the nature and it is very precious as life without it is impossible.

So, when we unnecessarily use water then it means we are wasting a natural resource that cannot be reproduced again by human beings.

Therefore, more we are able to conserve water more we can protect other human life's and environment also.

If there is shortage of water then its prices will go high and hence we need to pay more for it.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement conserving water can save money while protecting the environment, is true.

What is the molality (m) of a solution that contains 76.5 g of KCl dissolved in 85.0 g of<br> water?
ladessa [460]

Answer:

76.5g KCl/74.55 grams per mole Kcl = x

molality= x/.085 kg H2O

Explanation:

well remember molality is moles of solute/kilograms of solvent. So it's the moles of KCl over 85 g of h20 converted into kg. if this makes sense.

What is the volume of a liquid that has a density 3.65g/ml and a mass of 5.61g
Lorico [155]

Answer:

<h2>1.54 mL</h2>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

volume =  \frac{mass}{density} \\

From the question we have

volume =  \frac{5.61}{3.65}  \\  =1.536986...

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.54 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

an aqueous solution contains 1.2mM of total ions. if the solution is NaCl (aq), what is the concentration of chloride ions?
Genrish500 [490]

Explanation:

As the total concentration is given as 1.2 mM. And, it is also given that salt present in the solution is NaCl.

As sodium chloride is an ionic compound so, when it is added to water then it will dissociate into sodium and chlorine ions as follows.

           NaCl \rightarrow Na^{+} + Cl^{-}

So, it means in total there will be formation of 2 ions when one molecules of NaCl dissociates.

Therefore, concentration of chlorine ions will be calculated as follows.

       Concentration of Cl^{-} ions = \frac{1.2mM}{2}

                                                        = 0.6 mM

Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of chloride ions is 0.6 mM.

(c) Assume you have an equilibrium mixture of [A], [B], and [C] at 298K and that the
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. The amount of CaCO3 must be so small that  

P

CO

2

 is less than KP when the CaCO3 has completely decomposed. In other words, the starting amount of CaCO3 cannot completely generate the full  

P

CO

2

 required for equilibrium.

3. The change in enthalpy may be used. If the reaction is exothermic, the heat produced can be thought of as a product. If the reaction is endothermic the heat added can be thought of as a reactant. Additional heat would shift an exothermic reaction back to the reactants but would shift an endothermic reaction to the products. Cooling an exothermic reaction causes the reaction to shift toward the product side; cooling an endothermic reaction would cause it to shift to the reactants’ side.

5. No, it is not at equilibrium. Because the system is not confined, products continuously escape from the region of the flame; reactants are also added continuously from the burner and surrounding atmosphere.

7. Add N2; add H2; decrease the container volume; heat the mixture.

9. (a) ΔT increase = shift right, ΔP increase = shift left; (b) ΔT increase = shift right, ΔP increase = no effect; (c) ΔT increase = shift left, ΔP increase = shift left; (d) ΔT increase = shift left, ΔP increase = shift right.
