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

Nataly [62]

Answer:

A. a rotten potato gives all of bad smell

Explanation:

B,C,D are all physical changes because we can reverse them back.we can cool the water back to make ice. if the wind passes again we can randomly get the same cloud shape in c. and in d we can make that statue again. but in A can we reverse the rotting process ? ( the enzyme reaction) no we cant because it is a chemical reaction it gives a bad smell because of the chemical changes occuring in it.

hope this helps

lara [203]

Answer:

She should suspect a Tornado.

Explanation:

Tornadoes form when warm humid air collides with cold dry air. The denser the cold air is pushed over warm air, causing an updraft. As soon as it reaches the ground a tornado is formed.
