For a first order reaction, the half life is inversely proportional to the rate constant.
The formula is
half life = ln(2)/k = 0.693/k
where k is the rate constant
t = 5.50 minutes
k = ln(2)/5.50 = 0.126 min^-1
Your rate constant is 0.126 min^-1.
First, we need to get the number of moles:
from the reaction equation when Y4+ takes 4 electrons and became Y, X loses 4 electrons and became X4+
∴ the number of moles n = 4
we are going to use this formula:
㏑K = n *F *E/RT
when K is the equilibrium constant = 4.98 x 10^-5
and F is Faraday's constant = 96500
and the constant R = 8.314
and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 298 K
and n is number of moles of electrons = 4
so, by substitution:
㏑4.98 x 10^-5 = 4*96500*E / 8.314*298
∴E = -0.064 V
I think that the sun is the center of the universe, not a human being. Everything revolves around the sun, not someone. U know when to sleep, when the time is, and when to wake up based on the sun. All the planets revolve around it. This is why I think the sun is the center of the universe, not a human being.
The answer is 2 electrons.
The electron configuration of calcium is 2:8:8:2
Calcium has two electrons in its outermost shell. These are its valence electrons and are the ones used in bonding with other elements. Valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding.
Calcium is a metal. When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions. The resulting compound is known as an ionic compound.
For example, when calcium metal reacts with chlorine gas, calcium gives up its two valence electrons and Chlorine accepts them resulting in a new substance called calcium chloride in which the two elements have ended up forming ionic bonds.
