Answer: Rate of decomposition of acetaldehyde in a solution is 
Explanation:
Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.
For a reaction : 
![Rate=k[A]^x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Rate%3Dk%5BA%5D%5Ex)
k= rate constant
x = order of the reaction = 2
Thus rate of decomposition of acetaldehyde in a solution is
in order to determine empirical formula we have to determine the mole ratio of the given elements
Let the total mass of the compound is 100g
as given that the compound has 40% sulfur , so mass of sulfur = 40g
as given that the compound has 60% oxygen, so mass of oxygen = 60g
let us calculate the moles of each element
Moles of sulfur = mass / atomic mass = 40 / 32 = 1.25
moles of oxygen = mass / atomic mass = 60/ 16 = 3.75
In order to get simple ratio of moles we will divide both the moles with least number of moles which is 1.25
moles of sulfur = 1.25 / 1.25 = 1
moles of oxygen = 3.75 /1.25 = 3
So empirical formula will be SO₃
Theoretical Yield is an Ideal yield with 100 % conversion of reactant to product. It is in fact a paper work.
While,
Actual Yield is the yield which is obtained experimentally. It is always less than theoretical yield because it is not possible to have 100% conversion of reactants into products. Even some amount of product is lost while handling it during the process.
Percentage Yield is Calculated as,
%age Yield = Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield × 100
Data Given:
Actual Yield = 0.104 g
Theoretical Yield = 0.110 g
Putting Values,
%age Yield = 0.104 g / 0.110 g × 100
%age Yield = 94.54 %
C. The number of Valence electrons,
Every atom tries to follow the Octet rule i.e To have 8 electrons in its Valence shell.
Every atom tries to accomodate 8 electrons in its Valence shell to stabilize themselves, Metals usually have 1-3 eletrons in their Valence shell which they donate to non metals so their Valnce shell has 8 electroons, (The previous will now be the Valence shell and it will be full)
Similarly Non metals have 4-7 electrons, they accept electrons from metals so they can have 8 electrons in their Valence shell.
Noble gases already have 8 electrons in their Valance shell, so they do not react and stable.
Hope it helps :)
The balanced chemical reaction is written as:
<span>NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H2O
We are given the amount of sodium hydroxide to be used up in the reaction. This will be the starting point for the calculation.
2.75 x 10^-4 mol NaOH ( 1 mol H2O / 1 mol NaOH ) ( 18.02 g H2O / 1 mol H2O ) = 4.96 x 10^-3 g H2O</span>
