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

What mass of Cu(s) is electroplated by running 24.5A of current through a Cu2+(aq)solution for 4.00 h?Express your answer to thr
Masja [62]

Answer: 116 g of copper

Explanation:

Q=I\times t

where Q= quantity of electricity in coloumbs

I = current in amperes = 24.5A

t= time in seconds =  4.00 hr = 4.00\times 3600s=14400s  (1hr=3600s)

Q=24.5A\times 14400s=352800C

Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu

2\times 96500C=193000C  of electricity deposits 63.5 g of copper.

352800 C of electricity deposits = \frac{63.5}{193000}\times 352800=116g of copper.

Thus 116 g of Cu(s) is electroplated by running 24.5A of current

Thus  remaining in solution = (0.1-0.003)=0.097moles

What is the role of NaCl and EDTA in DNA isolation?
alexandr402 [8]
<span>The following is the role of NaCl and EDTA in DNA isolation, hope it helps:

NaCl provides Na+ ions that will block negative charge from phosphates on DNA. Negatively charged phosphates on DNA cause molecules to repel each other. The Na+ ions will form an ionic bond with the negatively charged phosphates on the DNA, neutralizing the negative charges and allowing the DNA molecules to come together.</span>

10 atoms of aluminum reacts with 6 molecules of oxygen gas to produce aluminum oxide. 4 Al + 3 O2 ––&gt; 2 Al2O3 What is the exc
Mrrafil [7]

The excess reactant is Aluminum.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have to write the balanced equation as,

4 Al+ 3 O₂ → 2 Al₂O₃

According to the molar ratio 4: 3, from the given balanced equation, we can say that 4 atoms of Al reacted with 3 molecules of oxygen.

Given that 10 atoms of aluminum reacts with 6 molecules of oxygen, as per the ratio only 8 atoms of Aluminum is required to react with 6 molecules of oxygen, so excess reactant is Aluminum.
