Explanation:

Hydrogen bonding is a special type of dipole-dipole attraction between molecules, not a covalent bond to a hydrogen atom. It results from the attractive force between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom such as a N, O, or F atom and another very electronegative atom.

The bonds between oxygen and the hydrogen atoms within the water molecule are polar covalent bonds,i.e., the electrons are not shared equally between oxygen and hydrogen. Oxygen has a higher affinity for electrons than does hydrogen

<span>In a popular classroom demonstration, solid sodium is added to liquid water and reacts to produce hydrogen gas and aqueous sodium hydroxide. Balanced chemical equation for this reaction is given below. Na-sodium , H2o- water, H-hydrogen gas and NaOH- aqueous sodium hydroxide. Two atoms of Na react with two atoms of water and this reaction will give us H (hydrogen gas) and two atoms of NaOH (aqueous sodium hydroxide). 2Na + 2 H2o = H2 +2NaOH.</span>

First-order reaction that results in the destruction of a pollutant has a rate constant of 0.l/day. (a) how many days will it ta

Klio2033 [76]

Rate equation for first order reaction is as follows:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}log\frac{A_{0}}{A_{t}}$

Here, k is rate constant of the reaction, t is time of the reaction, $A_{0}$ is initial concentration and $A_{t}$ is concentration at time t.

The rate constant of the reaction is $0.1 day^{-1}$ .

(a) Let the initial concentration be 100, If 90% of the chemical is destroyed, the chemical present at time t will be 100-90=10, on putting the values,

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}log\frac{A_{0}}{A_{t}}=\frac{2.303}{0.1 day^{-1}}log\frac{100}{10}=23.03 days$

Thus, time required to destroy 90% of the chemical is 23.03 days.

(b) Let the initial concentration be 100, If 99% of the chemical is destroyed, the chemical present at time t will be 100-99=1, on putting the values,

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}log\frac{A_{0}}{A_{t}}=\frac{2.303}{0.1 day^{-1}}log\frac{100}{1}=46.06 days$

Thus, time required to destroy 99% of the chemical is 46.06 days.

(c) Let the initial concentration be 100, If 99.9% of the chemical is destroyed, the chemical present at time t will be 100-99.9=0.1, on putting the values,

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}log\frac{A_{0}}{A_{t}}=\frac{2.303}{0.1 day^{-1}}log\frac{100}{0.1}=69.09 days$
