Answer: The half-life of a first-order reaction is, $3.3\times 10^2s$

Explanation:

All the radioactive reactions follows first order kinetics.

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}$

where,

k = rate constant = ?

t = time taken = 440 s

$[A_o]$ = initial amount of the reactant = 0.50 M

[A] = left amount = 0.20 M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$k=\frac{2.303}{440s}\log\frac{0.50}{0.20}$

$k=2.083\times 10^{-3}s^{-1}$

The equation used to calculate half life for first order kinetics:

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

Putting values in this equation, we get:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{2.083\times 10^{-3}s^{-1}}=332.69s=3.3\times 10^2s$

Therefore, the half-life of a first-order reaction is, $3.3\times 10^2s$

Explain why landscapers might sift soil<br> that they use to construct gardens.

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

When one desires to remove debris from the garden then a soil sifter can be used as a beneficial tool. Based on the needs, it can be of different kinds. A landscaper may sift soil that they use at the time of constructing gardens due to many reasons:

1. The soil becomes aerated, and thus, turn soft and easy to work upon.

2. Sifting the soil makes the work of withdrawing undesired substances from the soil easy.

3. It helps the plants to grow much better as the roots possess the tendency to penetrate more easily through the soil.

4. The soil becomes healthy due to shifting, thus, helps in producing a beautiful and healthy landscape.

Atomic radius increases as you move down a group of elements.

raketka [301]

Yes, the atomic radius increases as you move down a group of elements. this is true
going down leads to valence electrons that are further away from nucleus -> less electrostatic attraction -> less pull towards nuc. -> greater radius/volume taken

If the vapor pressure of ethanol at 34.7degree C is 100

saw5 [17]

Answer:

we will use the Clausius-Clapeyron equation to estimate the vapour pressures of the boiling ethanol at sea level pressure of 760mmHg:

ln (P2/P1) = $\frac{ΔvapH}{R}([tex]\frac{1}{T1}$ - $\frac{1}{T2}$ )

where

P1 and P2 are the vapour pressures at temperatures T1 and T2

Δ vapH = the enthalpy of vaporization of the ETHANOL

R = the Universal Gas Constant

In this problem,

P 1 = 100 mmHg

; T 1 = 34.7 °C = 307.07 K

P 2 = 760mmHg

T 2 =T⁻²=?

Δ vap H = 38.6 kJ/mol

R = 0.008314 kJ⋅K -1 mol -1

ln ( 760/10)=(0.00325 - T⁻²) (38.6kJ⋅mol-1 /0.008314 )

0.0004368=(0.00325 - T⁻²)

T⁻²=0.002813

T² = 355.47K
