Answer:
6 half-lives are required for the concentration of reactant to decrease to 1.56% of its original value.
Explanation:
Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:
Where,
is the concentration at time t
is the initial concentration
Given:
Concentration is decreased to 1.56 % which means that 0.0156 of
is decomposed. So,
= 0.0156
Thus,
kt = 4.1604
The expression for the half life is:-
Half life = 15.0 hours
Where, k is rate constant
So,

<u>6 half-lives are required for the concentration of reactant to decrease to 1.56% of its original value.</u>
No! That’s why they’re called theories. Most of them have a lot of facts to back it up however the theories themselves are either proven or just hypothetical.
Correct Question:
A chemist measures the enthalpy change ΔH during the following reaction: Fe(s) + 2HCl(g)-->FeCl2(s) + H2 ΔH=-157.0 kJ. Use this information to complete the table below. Round each of your answers to the nearest kJ/mol
Answer:
-314 kJ
+628 kJ
+157 kJ
Explanation:
The enthalpy change of a reaction measures the amount of heat that is lost or gained by it. If ΔH >0 the heat is gained, and the reaction is called endothermic, if ΔH<0, the heat is lost, and the reaction is called exothermic.
If the reaction is inverted, the value of ΔH is inverted too (the opposite endothermic reaction is exothermic), and if the reaction is multiplied by a constant, ΔH will be multiplied by it too.
1) 2Fe(s) + 4HCl --> 2FeCl2(s) + 2H2(g)
This reaction is the product of the given reaction by 2, so
ΔH = 2*(-157) = -314 kJ
2) 4FeCl2(s) + 4H2(g) --> 4Fe(s) + 8HCl(g)
This reaction is the inverted reaction given multiplied by 4, so
ΔH = 4*(157) = +628 kJ
3) FeCl2(s) + H2(g) --> Fe(s) + 2HCl
This reaction is the inverted reaction given, so
ΔH = +157 kJ
PV / T = P'V' / T'
V = V'
P / T = P' / T'
P = 630 mmHg
T = 100 K
P' = 1760 mmHg
T' = ?
630 / 100 = 1760 / T'
T' = 1760 / 6,3
T' = 279,36 K
T' ≈ 280 K
