Answer: It will take 8.2 minutes until the concentration decreases to 0.055 M

Explanation:

The time after which 99.9% reactions gets completed is 40 minutes

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process  

a) for completion of half life:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

k=\frac{0.693}{13min}=0.053min^{-1}

b)  Time taken for 0.085 M to decrease to 0.055 M

t=\frac{2.303}{0.053}\log\frac{0.085}{0.055}

t=8.2min

Thus it will take 8.2 minutes until the concentration decreases to 0.055 M

All samples of an element are composed of atoms with the same
inysia [295]

Answer is: 2. atomic number.

Atomic number is unique and defines an element. Atomic number (Z) is total number of protons in an atom.

For example, nitrogen atom (N-14) has 7 protons (p⁺), 7 electrons (e⁻) and 7 neutrons (n°). Protons (positive charge) and neutrons are in the nucleus of atom, electrons (negative charge) are bound to the nucleus in spherical shells.  Nitrogen is an element with atomic number 7.                                                       Mass number (A) is the total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus. Nitrogen mass number is 14 (A = p⁺ + n°; A = 14).

Aqueous solutions of barium nitrate and potassium phosphate are mixed. What is the precipitate and how many molecules are formed
kykrilka [37]

Aqueous solutions of barium nitrate and potassium phosphate are mixed. What is the precipitate and how many molecules are formed?

Barium nitrate has a chemical symbol of Ba(NO3)2 and potassium phosphate has a chemical symbol K2PO4. The reaction between these two is a double replacement reaction yielding barium phosphate and potassium nitrate.

The chemical equation representing the reaction is,

            Ba(NO3)2 + K2PO4 à KNO3 + BaPO4

Help please thanks you
scoundrel [369]

Explanation:

Ok so water is H2O and cabon dioxide in the air is CO2, so the water goes through the carbon dioxide and makes acid rain H2SO4.

Now we have our limestone which is CaCO3.

What happens is that the acid breaks apart our limestone into Ca2+ and CO3 2-. This then reforms into Calcium bicarbonate Ca(CO3)2.

Calcium bicarbonate is soluble in water and is hence washed away by the rain eroding the limestone.
