To determine which order of the reaction it is, first we need to calculate the rate of change of moles.
the data is as follows 
time         0         40        80       120       160
moles    0.100   0.067  0.045    0.030    0.020


Q1)
for the first 40 s change of moles ;
      = -d[A] / t
      = - (0.067-0.100)/40s
      = 8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
for the next 40 s
      = -(0.045-0.067)/40
      = 5.5 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
the 40 s after that
      = -(0.030-0.045)/40 s 
     = 3.75 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s
k - rate constant
and A is the only reactant that affects the rate of the reaction

rate = k [A]ᵇ
8.25 × 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.100 mol]ᵇ ----1
5.5 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.067 mol]ᵇ   -----2
divide the 2nd equation by the 1st equation
1.5 = [1.49]ᵇ
b is almost equal to 1
Therefore this is a first order reaction

Q2)
to find out the rate constant(k), we have to first state the equation for a first order reaction.
rate = k[A]ᵇ
As A is the only reactant thats considered for the rate equation. 
Since this is a first order reaction,
b = 1
therefore the reaction is 
rate = k[A]
substituting the values,
8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s = k [0.100 mol]
k = 8.25 x 10⁻⁴ mol/s /0.100mol
   = 8.25 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

Complete the following radioactive decay problem.<br>222 86 RN to 4 2 HE + ?​
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

₈₆²²²Rn    →   ₈₄Po²¹⁸  +  H₂⁴

Explanation:

The given nuclear reaction shows alpha decay.

₈₆²²²Rn    →   ₈₄Po²¹⁸  +  H₂⁴

Properties of alpha radiations:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4  and atomic number less than 2 as compared to parent atom the starting atom.

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

₉₂U²³⁸   →   ₉₀Th²³⁴  + ₂He⁴  + energy

∆G° for the process benzene (l) benzene (g) is 3.7 Kj/mol at 60 °C , calculate the vapor pressure of benzene at 60 °C [R=0.0821
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

4) 0.26 atm

Explanation:

In the process:

Benzene(l) → Benzene(g)

ΔG° for this process is:

ΔG° = -RT ln Q

<em>Where Q = P(Benzene(g)) / P°benzene(l) P° = 1atm</em>

ΔG° = 3700J/mol = -8.314J/molK * (60°C + 273.15) ln P(benzene) / 1atm

1.336 = ln P(benzene) / 1atm

0.26atm = P(benzene)

Right answer is:

<h3>4) 0.26 atm </h3><h3 />

1)Which of the following changes would decrease the rate at which a solid solute dissolves in a liquid solvent? (3 points)
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

The first one is B, "Decreasing surface area."

Explanation:

This is because greater the surface area exposed, the more collisions that occur between the solvent and solute. I also just took the test myself and got it correct.
