In this reaction 50% of the compound decompose in 10.5 min thus, it is half life of the reaction and denoted by symbol t_{1/2}.

(a) For first order reaction, rate constant and half life time are related to each other as follows:

k=\frac{0.6932}{t_{1/2}}=\frac{0.6932}{10.5 min}=0.066 min^{-1}

Thus, rate constant of the reaction is 0.066 min^{-1}.

(b) Rate equation for first order reaction is as follows:

k=\frac{2.303}{t_{1/2}}log\frac{[A_{0}]}{[A_{t}]}

now, 75% of the compound is decomposed, if initial concentration [A_{0} ] is 100 then concentration at time t [A_{t} ] will be 100-75=25.

Putting the values,

0.066 min^{-1}=\frac{2.303}{t}log\frac{100}{25}=\frac{2.303}{t}(0.6020)

On rearranging,

t=\frac{2.303\times 0.6020}{0.066 min^{-1}}=21 min

Thus, time required for 75% decomposition is 21 min.

Determine the differences In electronegativity ionic radius atomic radius and first ionization energy for oxygen and beryllium
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Electronegativity  = 1.87.

Ionic radius = 109 pm.

Atomic radius = -39 pm

First ionization energy = 410 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since electronegativity, ionic radius, atomic radius and first ionization energy are periodic properties that have specific trends, we can summarize it by realizing that oxygen and beryllium belong the same period 2 and differ in group, 6A and 2A respectively.

In such a way, the required comparison is written below:

Electronegativity = 3.44 (oxygen) - 1.57 (beryllium) = 1.87.

Ionic radius = 140 pm (oxygen)- 31 pm (beryllium) = 109.

Atomic radius = 73 pm (oxygen) - 112 pm (beryllium) = -39 pm

First ionization energy = 1310 kJ/mol (oxygen) - 900 kJ/mol (beryllium) = 410 kJ/mol

It means that electronegativity, ionic radius and first ionization energy increases from left to right whereas the atomic radius from right to left.

Best regards!

Which of the following is true for the actual yield of a reaction?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

It is always less than the theoretical yield

Explanation:

For many chemical reactions, the actual yield is usually less than the theoretical yield. This is due to possible loss in the process or inefficiency of the chemical reaction.
