In this reaction 50% of the compound decompose in 10.5 min thus, it is half life of the reaction and denoted by symbol
.
(a) For first order reaction, rate constant and half life time are related to each other as follows:

Thus, rate constant of the reaction is
.
(b) Rate equation for first order reaction is as follows:
![k=\frac{2.303}{t_{1/2}}log\frac{[A_{0}]}{[A_{t}]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=k%3D%5Cfrac%7B2.303%7D%7Bt_%7B1%2F2%7D%7Dlog%5Cfrac%7B%5BA_%7B0%7D%5D%7D%7B%5BA_%7Bt%7D%5D%7D)
now, 75% of the compound is decomposed, if initial concentration
is 100 then concentration at time t
will be 100-75=25.
Putting the values,

On rearranging,

Thus, time required for 75% decomposition is 21 min.
<u>Answer:</u> The final temperature of water is 32.3°C
<u>Explanation:</u>
When two solutions are mixed, the amount of heat released by solution 1 (liquid water) will be equal to the amount of heat absorbed by solution 2 (liquid water)

The equation used to calculate heat released or absorbed follows:

......(1)
where,
q = heat absorbed or released
= mass of solution 1 (liquid water) = 50.0 g
= mass of solution 2 (liquid water) = 29.0 g
= final temperature = ?
= initial temperature of solution 1 = 25°C = [273 + 25] = 298 K
= initial temperature of solution 2 = 45°C = [273 + 45] = 318 K
c = specific heat of water= 4.18 J/g.K
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
![50.0\times 4.18\times (T_{final}-298)=-[29.0\times 4.18\times (T_{final}-318)]\\\\T_{final}=305.3K](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=50.0%5Ctimes%204.18%5Ctimes%20%28T_%7Bfinal%7D-298%29%3D-%5B29.0%5Ctimes%204.18%5Ctimes%20%28T_%7Bfinal%7D-318%29%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CT_%7Bfinal%7D%3D305.3K)
Converting this into degree Celsius, we use the conversion factor:


Hence, the final temperature of water is 32.3°C
Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Steps involved for the given reaction will be as follows.
Step 1:
(fast)
Rate expression for step 1 is as follows.
Rate = k ![[NO]^{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BNO%5D%5E%7B2%7D)
Step 2: 
This step 2 is a slow step. Hence, it is a rate determining step.
Step 3.
(fast)
Here,
is intermediate in nature.
All the steps are bimolecular and it is a second order reaction. Also, there is no catalyst present in this reaction.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement step 1 is the rate determining step, concerning this mechanism is not directly supported by the information provided.
Answer:
C)52g KCl in 100g water at 80°C
Explanation:
A saturated solution is one that contains as much solute as it can dissolve in the presence of excess solute at that particular temperature.
A solutibility curve is a graph that shows the variability with temperature of the solubility of a solute in a given solvent. A solutibility curve can provide information of whether a solution formed frommthe solute and solvent are saturated or not at a given temperature.
From the solubility curve in the attachment below:
A) A saturated solution of NH₄Cl will contain about 52 g solute per 100 g sat 50 °C. Thus, a solution of 40 g NH₄Cl in 100 g water at 50 °C is an unsaturated solution.
B) A saturated solution of SO₂ at 10°C will contain about 70 g of solute in 100 g of water. Thus a solution of 2g SO₂ in 100g water at 10°C is an unsaturated solution.
C) A saturated solution of KCl at 80 °C will contain about 52 g of solute in 100 g of water. Thus, a solution of 52g KCl in 100g water at 80°C is a saturated solution.
D) A saturated solution of Kl at 20 °C will contain about 145 g of solute in 100 g of water. Thus, a solution of 120g KI in 100g water at 20°C is an unsaturated solution.
