Answer:

90 minutes

Explanation:

The half life of a first order reaction is;

t1/2 = ln(2) / k

To solve for t;

The integral rate expression for a first order reaction is;

ln[A] = ln[Ao] - kt

t = 60 minutes

Final Concentration = [A] = 100 - 37 = 63

Initial Concentration = [Ao] = 100

ln(63) = ln(100) - k (60)

k (60) = ln (100) - ln(63)

k = 0.4620 / 60 = 0.0077

Inserting the value of k in the half life equatin;

t1/2 = ln(2) / 0.0077 = 90 minutes

Determine the mass of 9.2 x 10^18 molecules of dinitrogen tetroxide.
steposvetlana [31]

Answer: 1.4x10-3 g N2O4

Explanation: First convert molecules of N2O4 to moles using Avogadro's Number. Then convert moles to mass using the molar mass of N2O4.

9.2x10^18 molecules N2O4 x 1 mole N2O4 / 6.022x10²³ molecules N2O4

= 1.53x10-5 moles N2O4

1.53x10-5 moles N2O4 x 92 g N2O4/ 1 mole N2O4

= 1.4x10-3 g N2O4

a water sample is found to have a cl- content of 100ppm as nacl what is the concentration of chloride in moles per liter
ladessa [460]

Answer:

The concentration of chloride ion is 2.82\times10^{-3}\;mol/L

Explanation:

We know that 1 ppm is equal to 1 mg/L.

So, the Cl^- content 100 ppm suggests the presence of 100 mg of Cl^- in 1 L of solution.

The molar mass of Cl^- is equal to the molar mass of Cl atom as the mass of the excess electron in Cl^- is negligible as compared to the mass of Cl atom.

So, the molar mass of Cl^- is 35.453 g/mol.

Number of moles = (Mass)/(Molar mass)

Hence, the number of moles (N) of Cl^- present in 100 mg (0.100 g) of Cl^- is calculated as shown below:

N=\frac{0.100\;g}{35.453\;g/mol}=2.82\times 10^{-3}\;mol

So, there is 2.82\times10^{-3}\;mol of Cl^- present in 1 L of solution.
