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

Your experiment requires 150 mL of 7.7 M NaOH. How many grams of NaOH will you need?
Elodia [21]
You have molarity and you have volume. Use the formula :
Molarity(M)= Moles(N)/Liter(L)            to get the solution. 
150 ml= .150 L
7.7 = N/.150
N=.1.155 moles of NaOH.
 And since you know the moles, use the molar mass to figure out the grams.
<span> (40g/mol NaOH) x (1.155mol) =  
46.2 g of NaOH.</span>

A researcher recorder that a chemical reaction require 2.90 gal water and raised the temperature of the reaction vessel by 57°F.
Ivan

Answer:

10.875L

Explanation:

The problem here is a simple conversion. The conversion is from gal to liters Liter is a SI unit for recording volume as stated in the problem.

Given that:

              1 gallon of water = 3.75L

              2.90 gallon will be 2.9 x 3.75; 10.875L

How reactive is an atom of Sodium(Na) and why?
s344n2d4d5 [400]
3rd one:
it is very reactive because it does not have a full Valence shell.

this is because it's in group 1 so it has one electron in its outer shell, and it wants to have a full outer shell ( which it can gain by losing the electron in a reaction).

Hope this helps :)
