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.

1. A gas having the following composition is burnt under a boiler with 50% excess air.
jeka94

The composition of the stack gas are :

CH_4= 0.8713

C_3H_8 = 0.0202

CO = 0.107

<h3 /><h3>What is a mole fraction?</h3>

The ratio of the number of moles of one component of a solution or other mixture to the total number of moles representing all of the components.

Assuming 100 g of the stack gas. Calculate the mass of each species in this sample according to their percentages.

Mass of CH_4 : 70% of 100 g = 70 g

Mass of C_3H_8 : 15% of 100 g = 15 g

Mass of CO : 15% of 100 g = 15 g

Now calculate the number of moles of each species:

Number of moles of CH_4 : \frac{70 g}{16.04 g/mol} = 4.3 mole

Number of moles of C_3H_8: \frac{15 g}{144.1 g/mol} = 0.10 mole

Mass of CO : \frac{15 g}{28.01 g/mol} = 0.53 mole

Now to calculate the mole fraction of each we use the formula:

Mole fraction of CH_4: \frac{4.3}{4.935} = 0.8713

Mole fraction of C_3H_8 : \frac{0.10}{4.935} = 0.0202

Mole fraction of CO : \frac{0.53}{4.935} = 0.107

Hence, composition of the stack gas are:

CH_4 = 0.8713

C_3H_8 = 0.0202

CO = 0.107

Lucas rubs a plastic ruler on his sweater. He waves the ruler above a pile of shredded paper and notices that the pieces of pape
telo118 [61]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Firstly it is pertinent to know that, Electric force are due to the movement of electrons that is due to its gain and loss. This phenomenon is based on static electricity.

When the glass ruler is rubbed over the woolen sweater, the wool gets positively charged and the ruler gains electron to form negative charge.

Now if this charged is not earthed, the negative charged ruler attracts the uncharged bits of paper, as a result of which the paper gets attached to the ruler.

The nucleus is held closely together by?
Hoochie [10]

The nucleus of an atom is held together by the strong nuclear force to hold together protons and neutrons. The strong nuclear force is stronger than electricity and gravity. It's even the strongest out of the four fundamental forces.

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter A) 277°K

Explanation:

Data

Temperature 4°C

Formula

There are 3 main units to measure temperature Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin.

To convert °C to °K just add 273°K to the temperature in °C.

          °K = °C + 273

Substitution

          °K = 4 + 273

Simplification and result

          °K = 277°K
