Acetone is one of the most important solvents in organic chemistry. It is used to dissolve everything from fats and waxes to air

plane glue and nail polish. At high temperatures, it decomposes in a first-order process to methane and ketene (CH2═C═O). At 600°C, the rate constant is 8.7 × 10^−3 s^−1.
a. What is the half-life of the reaction?
b. How much time is required for 32% of a sample of acetone to decompose?
c. How much time is required for 81% of a sample of acetone to decompose?

Answer: a. 79.6 s

b. 44.3 s

c. 191 s

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant  

a - x = amount left after decay process  

a) for completion of half life:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{8.7\times 10^{-3}s^{-1}}=79.6s

b) for completion of 32% of reaction  

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{100-32}

t=\frac{2.303}{8.7\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{100}{68}

t=44.3s

c) for completion of 81 % of reaction  

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{100-81}

t=\frac{2.303}{8.7\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{100}{19}

t=191s

Covalent bonds involve the sharing of?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs, and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when they share electrons, is known as covalent bonding.

Explain how a redox reacation involves electrons in the same way that a neutralization reaction involves protons
lidiya [134]
For the neutralization process: an acid acts as a donor and donates protons to the base. On the other hand, the base acts as an acceptor and accepts the transferred protons. In a nutshell, neutralization is mainly proton transfer process.

As for the redox process: the oxidized material usually transfers electrons to the reduced material. In a nutshell, redox is mainly electron transfer process.
