A certain first-order reaction (A→products) has a rate constant of 8.10×10−3 s−1 at 45 ∘C. How many minutes does it take for the

concentration of the reactant, [A], to drop to 6.25% of the original concentration? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer:

The answer is 5.7 minutes

Explanation:

A first-order reaction follow the law of Ln [A] = -k.t + Ln [A]_{0}. Where <em>[A]</em> is the concentration of the reactant at any <em>t</em> time of the reaction, [A]_{0} is the concentration of the reactant at the beginning of the reaction and <em>k</em> is the rate constant.

Dropping the concentration of the reactant to 6.25% means the concentration of A at the end of the reaction has to be [A]=\frac{6.25}{100}.[A]_{0}. And the rate constant (<em>k</em>) is 8.10×10−3 s−1

Replacing the equation of the law:

Ln \frac{6.25}{100}.[A]_{0} = -8.10x10^{-3}s^{-1}.t + Ln[A]_{0}

Clearing the equation:

Ln [A]_{0}.\frac{6.25}{100} - Ln [A]_{0} = -8.10x10^{-3}s^{-1}.t

<em>Considering the property of logarithms: </em>Ln A - Ln B = Ln \frac{A}{B}

Using the property:

Ln \frac{[A]_{0}}{[A]_{0}}.\frac{6.25}{100} = -8.10x10^{-3}s^{-1}.t

Clearing <em>t </em>and solving:

t = \frac{Ln \frac{6.25}{100} }{-8.10x10^{-3}s^{-1} } = 342.3s

The answer is in the unit of seconds, but every minute contains 60 seconds, converting the units:

342.3x\frac{1min}{60s} = 5.7min

How many different isomers can be derived from ethylene if two hydrogen atoms are replaced by a fl uorine atom and a chlorine at
svp [43]
Answer:
             THREE<span> different isomers can be derived from ethylene if two hydrogen atoms are replaced by a fl uorine atom and a chlorine atom.

Explanation:
                   When two Hydrogen atoms in ethylene (C</span>₂H₄) are replaced with Fluorine and Chlorine atom then the new molecular formula is C₂H₂FCl.
                    Compounds having same Molecular formula but different structural formula are called as Isomers.
                     First Isomer of C₂H₂FCl is 1-chloro-1-fluoroethene, in which F and Cl at geminal position (attached to same Carbon atom).
                     Other two Isomers are Geometrical Isomers of 1-chloro-2-fluoroethene, in which F and Cl at different carbon atom and having different position is space. The one in which both F and Cl at opposite side forms (<em>trans</em>)-1-chloro-2-fluoroethene and the one in which both are in same side is called as (<em>cis</em>)-1-chloro-2-fluoroethene.

Can you help me understand this ? I completely dont understand it ​. i know the tire will burst.
icang [17]

Answer:

There is only one formula to use and we should assume ideal gas. This equation is: PV=nRT. For the following questions manipulate this equation to get the answer.

1. n = PV/RT = (249*1000 Pa)(15.6 L)(1 m^3/1000 L)/(8.314 Pa-m^3/mol-K))(21+273) = 1.59 mol

2. P = nRT/V = (1.59)(8.314)(51+273)/(15.6/1000)(1000) = 274.55 kPa

3. Since the answer in #2 is more than 269 kPa, then the tires will likely burst. 4. Reduce pressure way below the limit 269 kPa.

Molecules can be dissolved? Why?
elixir [45]

Answer:

Dissolving is when the solute breaks up from a larger crystal of molecules into much smaller groups or individual molecules. This break up is caused by coming into contact with the solvent. In the case of salt water, the water molecules break off salt molecules from the larger crystal lattice.

Electrons must be able to flow through a material in order for the material to conduct
djverab [1.8K]

The molecular structure of the solids has lower ability to conduct electricity due to tight holding by nucleus.

<h3>Why molecular solids are poor conductors?</h3>

Molecular solids are also poor conductors of electricity because their valence electrons are tightly held by the nuclear charges present in the nucleus while on the other hand, Metals are good electrical conductors in the solid form due to the presence of free electrons that helps in the conduction of electricity.
