6.02*10^23 is Avagadro's number representing the number of molecules per mole of substance.
Answer:
k = 1.3 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹
Explanation:
For a first order reaction the integrated rate law is
Ln [A]t/[A]₀ = - kt
where [A] are the concentrations of acetaldehyde in this case, t is the time and k is the rate constant.
We are given the half life for the concentration of acetaldehyde to fall to one half its original value, thus
Ln [A]t/[A]₀ = Ln 1/2[A]₀/[A]₀= Ln 1/2 = - kt
- 0.693 = - k(530s) ⇒ k = 1.3 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹
Hey there!
C₅H₅ + Fe → Fe(C₅H₅)₂
Put a coefficient of 2 in front of C₅H₅ on the left side because there is a subscript of 2 after C₅H₅ in parenthesis on the right.
2C₅H₅ + Fe → Fe(C₅H₅)₂
Fe (iron) is already balanced since there is one on each side, so we don't need to change anything for that.
This is a synthesis reaction because two reactants, C₅H₅ and Fe, are yielding a single product, Fe(C₅H₅)₂.
Hope this helps!
There is thermal energy, but temperature is also a measure of the average kinetic energy, so either of those should be acceptable answers for the question.
