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

Many chemical names are similar at ﬁrst glance. Give the formulas of the species in each set: (a) ammonium ion and ammonia; (b)

ohaa [14]

Answer:

a) Ammonium ion: NH₄⁺, ammonia: NH₃.

b)Magnesium sulfide: MgS, magnesium sulfite: MgSO₃, magnesium sulfate: MgSO₄.

c) Chloric acid: HClO₃, chlorous acid HClO₂.

d) Cupric bromide: CuBr₂, cuprous bromide: CuBr.

Explanation:

a) Ammonia is the neutral substance, which as molecular formula NH₃ when it gains a proton, it becomes the ammonium ion NH₄⁺.

b) In the name of salts, first, it comes the cation name, in this case, all the cations are the magnesium (Mg²⁺). The ions of sulfur can be oxidized or not, the termination "ide" indicates the non-oxidized ion (S⁻²), "ite" the less oxidized (SO₃⁻²), and "ate" the more oxidized (SO₄⁻²). To do the molecular formula, the charges are replaced without the signals and put down. If they are equal, the number is not put.

Magnesium sulfide: MgS

Magnesium sulfite: MgSO₃

Magnesium sulfate: MgSO₄

c) The acids can be oxidized or not, when it has no oxygens, the name is given "hydro" + the anion name, as hydrochloric acid (HCl). When there's oxygen in the molecule, the more oxidized is name as "'per" + anion name + "ic", the second more oxidized as anion name + "ic", the second less oxidized as anion name + "us", and the less oxidized as "hypo" + anion name + "us". In this case:

chloric acid: HClO₃

chlorous acid HClO₂

d) The salts of copper are named depends on the oxidation number of the cupper. The one with a higher oxidation number( +2) is called cupric, and the other (+1), cuprous. Thus:

cupric bromide: CuBr₂ (oxidation number = +2)

cuprous bromide: CuBr (oxidation number = +1)

HELP PLS PLS PLS ILL MARK U BRAINLIEST!

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

2 NaI ---> 2 Na + I₂

Explanation:

The only way the reactant NaI can decompose is by separating into 2 atoms, Na and I. However, you must take into account that iodine (I) exists as a diatomic molecule.

An equation is balanced when there is an equal amount of each element on both sides of the reaction. These amounts can be modified by adding coefficients in from of the molecules/atoms.

The unbalanced equation:

NaI -----> Na + I₂

<u>Reactants</u>: 1 sodium, 1 iodine

<u>Products</u>: 1 sodium, 2 iodine

The balanced equation:

2 NaI ---> 2 Na + I₂

<u>Reactants</u>: 2 sodium, 2 iodine

<u>Products</u>: 2 sodium, 2 iodine

Which advancement in technology has increased scientific knowledge of plants other than earth cellular models microscopes probew

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Rovers

Explanation:

Rovers have been employed in the study of planets other than the earth. For example in 2003, NASA went on an exploration of the planet, Mars with the aid of rovers. Rovers are able to pick up information regarding the biosphere of other planets.

In 2014, NASA also reported the use of the Curiosity and Opportunity Rovers to study the Martian environment. So, rovers are an improvement in technology that can aid our understanding of other planets.

NEED HELP ON 31,32,33..ONLY IF YOU KNOW PLEASE

enyata [817]

Answer:

31. C

32. D

33. B

Explanation:

31. A plant cell is an eukaryotic cell i.e. it contains a membrane-bound nucleus, located CENTRALLY. The nucleus is the largest organelle in the plant cell. The cell/plasma membrane bounds the cell while the chloroplast organelle (site of photosynthesis) is also located in the plant cell. Based on this description, the image in OPTION C is correct.

32. Pottasium (K) is a highly reactive group 1 element. As stated in this question, pottasium reacts vigorously with water (H2O). This reactive property of K element is due to its valence electrons. However, elements in the same group as pottasium i.e same column on the periodic table will have the same number of valence electrons, hence, will behave chemically similar. Therefore, elements in the same column as pottasium will react the same way with water.

33. A reactant is a an element/compound in a chemical reaction that gets used up to form new products. They are usually the starting materials located on the left side of any equation. In this equation shown as:

2CuO + C → 2Cu + CO2

CuO and C are the REACTANTS while Cu and CO2 are the products.
