Answer:
k = 0.0306 min-1
Explanation:
The table is given as;
Time, Concentration
0 1.48
5 1.27
10 0.98
15 0.84
The integrated rate law for a first order reaction is given as;
ln [A] = -kt + ln [Ao]
where;
[A] = Final Concentration
[Ao] = Initial Concentration
k = rate constant
t = time
In the table, taking the first two sets of values;
t = 5
k = ?
[Ao] = 1.48
[A] = 1.27
Inserting into the equation;
ln(1.27) = - k (5) + ln(1.48)
ln(1.27) - ln(1.48) = -5k
-0.1530 = -5k
k = -0.1530 / -5
k = 0.0306 min-1
I believe the correct answer is the second option. The type of decay that characterizes the change of nuclides to their respective daughter products would be exponential decay. This type of decay is characterized by the decrease of quantity of a material according to the equation y=ab^x.
Answer:
Approximately 13.4 meters per second (m/s)
Explanation:
We can divide the distance by 60 seconds to find the trains average rate of speed.
803.98 / 60 ≈ 13.4
Best of Luck!
<span>I would say only if one of your data points is the origin. But your experiment could have started with a non-zero velocity, for instance, which would rule out the origin as one of your data points. Even so, a "best fit" is not meant to be perfect, it is only meant to be the best that you can do with your particular data set.</span>
