Answer:

(a)

0.0342M

(b)

t_{1/2}=17.36s\\t_{1/2}=23.15s

Explanation:

Hello,

(a) In this case, as the reaction is second-ordered, one uses the following kinetic equation to compute the concentration of NOBr after 22 seconds:

\frac{1}{[NOBr]}=kt +\frac{1}{[NOBr]_0}\\\frac{1}{[NOBr]}=\frac{0.8}{M*s}*22s+\frac{1}{0.086M}=\frac{29.3}{M}\\

[NOBr]=\frac{1}{29.2/M}=0.0342M

(b) Now, for a second-order reaction, the half-life is computed as shown below:

t_{1/2}=\frac{1}{k[NOBr]_0}

Therefore, for the given initial concentrations one obtains:

t_{1/2}=\frac{1}{\frac{0.80}{M*s}*0.072M}=17.36s\\t_{1/2}=\frac{1}{\frac{0.80}{M*s}*0.054M}=23.15s

Best regards.

Explanation:

2NOBr(g) --> 2NO(g) 1 Br2(g)

Rate constant, k = 0.80

a) Initial concentration, Ao = 0.086 M

Final Concentration, A = ?

time = 22s

These parameters are connected with the equation given below;

1 / [A] = kt + 1 / [A]o

1 / [A] = 1 / 0.086 + (0.8 * 22)

1 / [A] = 11.628 + 17.6

1 / [A] = 29.228

[A] = 0.0342M

b) t1/2 = 1 / ([A]o * k)

when [NOBr]0 5 0.072 M

t1/2 = 1 / (0.072 * 0.80)

t1/2 = 1 / 0.0576 = 17.36 s

when [NOBr]0 5 0.054 M

t1/2 = 1 / (0.054 * 0.80)

t1/2 = 1 / 0.0432 = 23.15 s

Is KNO a strong acid?
stira [4]

Answer:

First of all, it's KNO₃ not KNO.

Second, KNO₃ is neither an acid nor it is a base, infact, it is a salt and therefore it's neutral.

hope that helps...
