Answer:

  • <u>1,080 min</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

A <em>first order reaction</em> follows the law:

     rate=k[A]  , where [A] is the concentraion of the reactant A.

Equivalently:

       \dfrac{d[A]}{dt}=-k[A]

Integrating:

    \dfrac{d[A]}{[A]}=-kdt

   \ln \dfrac{[A]}{[A_o]}=-kt

Half-life means [A]/[A₀] = 1/2, t = t½:

  •    t½ = ln (2) / k

That means that the half-life is constant.

The slope of the plot of ln [N₂O₅]  is -k. Then k is equal to 6.40 × 10⁻⁴ min⁻¹.

Thus, you can calculate t½:

   t½ = ln(2) / 6.40 × 10⁻⁴ min⁻¹

   t½ = 1,083 min.

Rounding to 3 significant figures, that is 1,080 min.

Butoxors [25]

In a <u>Saturated </u>solution, the rate of dissociation equal to the rate of crystallization

Explanation:

A saturated solution is one than cannot dissolve any more solute because the solutes inter-molecular spaces are filled with the solute molecules at that temperature. When an attempt is made to dissolve more solute into the solution, the rate at which the solute is dissolved into the solution is equal to the rate at which excess solute is precipitated and crystallized.

In the lab you measure a clean dry crucible and cover to be 24.36 grams. You obtain a 2cm piece of pure magnesium metal. After s
mart [117]

Answer:

1) 0.3g Mg

2)0.5g MgO

3)0.2g O

4)0.01mol Mg & 0.01mol O

5)0.01mol MgO

6) Empirical formula MgO

Explanation:

The mass og Mg is obtained by substracting 24.36g from 24.66g:

24.66 - 24.36 = 0.3g Mg

The ignition of Mg means that it's reacting with oxygen to form an oxide. The increase in the crucible mass after the Mg ignition is due to the addition of oxygen. However, the addition of few drops of water produces a new compound: a hydroxide. According to the oxidation state og Mg (2+), the only magnesium oxide possible is MgO. It happens because the oxidation state of oxygen in oxides is 2-. Which means that just one oxygen atom is required to electrically neutralize one magnesium atom.

We can use a conversion factor to know how much MgO is made from from 0.3 g of Mg:

0.3g Mg*\frac{16gO}{24.3gMg}= 0.2g O

Thereby the mass of the oxide is 0.2g O + 0.3g Mg = 0.5g MgO

We convert the mass of oxygen and magnesium to the respective amounts in moles by using conversion factors:

0.2g O*\frac{1 mol O}{16g O}= 0.01mol O

0.3g Mg*\frac{1mol Mg}{24.3g Mg}= 0.01mol Mg

The moles of MgO can be obtained from:

0.5g MgO*\frac{1mol MgO}{40.3g MgO}= 0.01mol MgO

To obtain the empirical formula, the amount fo moles of each elements must be divided by the smallest one, in this case, 0.01.

The result for both number of  Mg atoms and O atoms is 1. This can be interpreted to mean that there is a Mg atom for each O atom forming the  formula unit of the compound.

The step when water is added to the compound resulting after heating does not affect the calculations necessary for the magnesium oxide.

What is the empirical formula for a compound composed of 0.0683 mol of carbon ( C ), 0.0341 mol of hydrogen ( H ), and 0.1024 mo
liubo4ka [24]

The empirical formula for a compound composed of 0.0683 mol of carbon ( C ), 0.0341 mol of hydrogen ( H ), and 0.1024 mol of nitrogen ( N ) is  C_2HN_3.

<h3>What is the empirical formula?</h3>

An empirical formula tells us the relative ratios of different atoms in a compound.

Given data:

Moles of carbon = 0.0683 mol

Moles of hydrogen = 0.0341 mol

Moles of nitrogen = 0.1024 mol

Dividing each mole using the smallest number that is divided by 0.0341 moles.

We get:

Carbon= 2

Hydrogen=1

Nitrogen=3

The empirical formula for a compound isC_2HN_3.
