It has: 2 atoms of sodium (Na) 1 atom of Carbon 3 atoms of Oxygen bound together with ionic and polar-covalent bonds
The decomposition time : 7.69 min ≈ 7.7 min
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
rate constant : 0.029/min
a concentration of 0.050 mol L to a concentration of 0.040 mol L
Required
the decomposition time
Solution
The reaction rate (v) shows the change in the concentration of the substance (changes in addition to concentrations for reaction products or changes in concentration reduction for reactants) per unit time
For first-order reaction :
[A]=[Ao]e^(-kt)
or
ln[A]=-kt+ln(A0)
Input the value :
ln(0.040)=-(0.029)t+ln(0.050)
-3.219 = -0.029t -2.996
-0.223 =-0.029t
t=7.69 minutes
