Alpha decay involves the loss of an alpha particle, aka a helium nucleus. This results in the mass number of the original element decreasing by 4 and the atomic number decreasing by 2. Assuming 23942u is uranium (92), the resulting element's atomic number is 90, making it thorium.
Answer: The reaction is first order overall.
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.
![Rate=k[A]^x[B]^y](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Rate%3Dk%5BA%5D%5Ex%5BB%5D%5Ey)
k= rate constant
For the given rate law:
![Rate=k[A]^1[B]^1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Rate%3Dk%5BA%5D%5E1%5BB%5D%5E1)
x = 1= order with respect to A
y =1= order with respect to B
n =( x+y)= (1+1) = 2 = Total order
a) If [A] is doubled, the reaction rate will increase by a factor of 2: True
![Rate'=k[2A]^1[B]^1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Rate%27%3Dk%5B2A%5D%5E1%5BB%5D%5E1)
![Rate'=k[2]^1[A]^1[B]^1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Rate%27%3Dk%5B2%5D%5E1%5BA%5D%5E1%5BB%5D%5E1)
![Rate'=[2]^1\times Rate](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Rate%27%3D%5B2%5D%5E1%5Ctimes%20Rate)
![Rate'=[2]\times Rate](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Rate%27%3D%5B2%5D%5Ctimes%20Rate)
b) The reaction is first order overall: False
The overall order is 1+1= 2.
c) k is the reaction rate constant: True
![Rate=k[A]^x[B]^y](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Rate%3Dk%5BA%5D%5Ex%5BB%5D%5Ey)
k= rate constant
d) The reaction is first order in [B]: True
For the given rate law:
![Rate=k[A]^1[B]^1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Rate%3Dk%5BA%5D%5E1%5BB%5D%5E1)
x = 1= order with respect to A
e) The reaction is first order in [A]: True
For the given rate law:
![Rate=k[A]^1[B]^1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Rate%3Dk%5BA%5D%5E1%5BB%5D%5E1)
y =1= order with respect to B
Answer:
0.0821 atm.L/Kmol
Explanation:
At stp, the values temperature, pressure and volume is given below:
Pressure (P) = 1 atm
Temperature (T) = 273 K
Volume (V) = 22.4 L
At stp, 1 mole of a gas occupy 22.4L.
Number of mole (n) = 1 mole
Gas constant (R) =?
The ideal gas equation is given below:
PV = nRT.
With the above equation, the gas constant R can be obtained as follow:
1 atm x 22.4L = 1 mole x R x 273K
Divide both side by (1 mole x 273 K)
R = (1 atm x 22.4L) / (1 mole x 273 K)
R = 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol
Therefore, the gas constant is 0.0821 atm.L/Kmol
