Answer:
Samira's model is incorrect because not all atoms are accounted for
Explanation:
The image of Samira's model has been attached to this answer to enhance the explanation.
What is depicted in that model is rightly regarded as a chemical change. In a chemical change atoms of substances are rearranged as new substances are formed.
However, all atoms in the products must also be found in at least one of the reactants. In this case we have an atom in one of the products that is not accounted for. Hence the model is incorrect.
Answer : The time taken for the reaction is, 28 s.
Explanation :
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by :
where,
k = rate constant = 0.0632
t = time taken for the process = ?
= initial amount or concentration of the reactant = 1.28 M
= amount or concentration left time 't' =
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:
Therefore, the time taken for the reaction is, 28 s.
