The rate constant : k = 9.2 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

The half life : t1/2 = 75.3 s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction 45% complete in 65 s

Required

The rate constant and the half life

Solution

For first order ln[A]=−kt+ln[A]o

45% complete, 55% remains

A = 0.55

Ao = 1

Input the value :

ln A = -kt + ln Ao

ln 0.55 = -k.65 + ln 1

-0.598=-k.65

k = 9.2 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

The half life :

t1/2 = (ln 2) / k

t1/2 = 0.693 : 9.2 x 10⁻³

t1/2 = 75.3 s

3. How many atoms are in 2 moles of Carbon?
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

In one mole of carbon, there are 6.02×10^23 atoms. So in two moles, there will be twice that: 1.204×10^24
