Answer:
After 1326s, the concentration of pyruvic acid fall to 1/64 of its initial concentration.
Explanation:
The first order kinetics reaction is:
ln [A] = ln [A]₀ - kt
<em>Where [A] is concentration after t time, [A]₀ is intial concentration and k is reaction constant.</em>
To convert half-life to k you must use:
t(1/2) = ln 2 / K
221s = ln 2 / K
K = ln 2 / 221s
<h3>K = 3.1364x10⁻³s⁻¹</h3>
If [A] = 1/64, [A]₀ = 1:
ln [A] = ln [A]₀ - kt
ln (1/64) = ln 1 - 3.1364x10⁻³t
4.1588 = 3.1364x10⁻³s⁻¹t
1326s = t
<h3>After 1326s, the concentration of pyruvic acid fall to 1/64 of its initial concentration.</h3>

The error in the student's reasoning happened as they get confused between the beta minus decay and beta plus decay.
<h3>What is beta minus decay?</h3>
A neutron is converted into a proton in beta minus, increasing the atomic number of the atom.
- The proton is positive, while the neutron is neutral.
- The nucleus also produces an electron and an antineutrino in order to ensure charge conservation.
In the given question beta minus decay is not occur as atomic number of the daughter nuclei does not increases. Rather than this in the given decay atomic mass of the daughter nuclei is less than the parent nuclei means plus beta decay is happened there.
Hence the error is in predicting the correct particle with charge.

Distillation is a process of separating the component substances from a liquid mixture by selective evaporation and condensation.
Answer:
The bond angles between the axial bonding groups are slightly less than 180°.
The bond angles between the equatorial bonding groups are slightly less than 120°.
Explanation:
Accordign to VSEPR theory, a molecule with four bonding groups and one lone pair on the central atom has a trigonal bipyramidal electronic geometry.
The position of the lone pair can be located in the equatorial position or axial position.
When the lone pair is found in equatorial position, it has two axial groups that repel it and the angle of the lone pair between each axial group is 90°.
When the lone pair is in axial position it has 3 equatorial groups that repel it and the angle of the lone pair between each equatorial group is 90°.
Since the molecule has a lone pair, the most stable geometric structure is when the lone pair is in the equatorial position, because it has fewer repulsions than in the axial position.
The molecular geometry is "seesaw"
The bond angles between the axial bonding groups are slightly less than 180°.
The bond angles between the equatorial bonding groups are slightly less than 120°.
