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

Aly's science class was looking at bacteria through a microscope. Aly's teacher said some bacteria can be as small as 0.00365 cm
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

0.00365\ cm=3.65\times 10^{-3}\ cm

Explanation:

Aly's teacher said some bacteria can be as small as 0.00365 cm long.

In this problem, we need to write the length of the bacteria written in scientific notation. Any number can be written in the form of scientific notation as follows :

N=a\times 10^b

a is a real no and b is an integer

In the given number, there are two zeroes before 3. We need to shift the decimal after 3. It can be done as follows :

0.00365\ cm=3.65\times 10^{-3}\ cm

Hence, this is the required solution.

If the mole fraction of nitric acid (HNO3) in an aqueous solution is 0.275, what is the percent by mass of HNO3?
jeka94
Molar mass of    N    = 14 g/molMolar mass of   O2    = 32 g/molAdding both masses = 46 g/molActual molar mass/ Empirical molar mass = 138.02 / 46 = 3Now multiplying this co effecient with empirical fomula NO2 = 3(NO2)                                                                                             = N3O6So according to above explanation,D) N3O6, is the correct answer.
