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

Mandarinka [93]
The experimental density of CO2 at STP is 0.10/0.056=1.78 g/L. The percent error equals to (1.96-1.78)/1.96*100%=9.18%. So the answer is 9.18%.

What is ksp for agi, if its molar solubility is 9.1 × 10−9 mol/l?
LekaFEV [45]
When the salt AgI dissolves, it dissociates as follows;
AgI --> Ag⁺ + I⁻
molar solubility of salt is the amount of salt that can be dissolved in 1 L of solution
since the ions dissociated are in 1:1 molar ratio, the molar solubility of the ions are equivalent to the molar solubility of the salt.
ksp is the solubility product constant of the salt
ksp = [Ag⁺][I⁻]
ksp = (9.1 x 10⁻⁹ mol/L)²
ksp = 8.28 x 10⁻¹⁷
