Answer:

Half life = 6.3 seconds

Explanation:

C2H5Cl --> products

Experiment shows that the decomposition is first order.

Time (s) ln [C2H5Cl] (M)

1.0          –1.625

2.0         –1.735

The half-life of a first-order reaction is a constant that is related to the rate constant for the reaction:

t1/2 = 0.693/k.

To obtain the rate constant, k, we use the integral rate equation;

ln[A] = ln[A]o - kt

kt = ln[A]o - ln[A]

k = (ln[A]o - ln[A]) / t

k =  [–1.625  - (–1.735)] / 1

k = –1.625 + 1.735

k = 0.11

Half life, t1/2 = 0.693/ 0.11

Half life = 6.3 seconds

An analytical chemist is titrating 118.3 mL of a 0.3500 M solution of butanoic acid (HC3H7CO2) with a 0.400 M solution of KOH. T
TEA [102]

Answer:

pH = 12.33

Explanation:

Lets call HA = butanoic acid and A⁻ butanoic acid and its conjugate base butanoate respectively.

The titration reaction is

HA + KOH ---------------------------- A⁻ + H₂O + K⁺

number of moles of HA :   118.3 ml/1000ml/L x 0.3500 mol/L = 0.041 mol HA

number of  moles of OH  : 115.4 mL/1000ml/L x 0.400 mol/L  = 0.046 mol A⁻

therefore the weak acid will be completely consumed and what we have is  the unreacted strong base KOH which will drive the pH of the solution since the contribution of the conjugate base is negligible.

n unreacted KOH = 0.046 - 0.041 = 0.005 mol KOH

pOH = - log (KOH)

M KOH = 0.005 mol / (0.118.3 +0.1154)L = 0.0021 M

pOH = - log (0.0021) = 1.66

pH = 14 - 1.96 = 12.33

Note: It is a mistake to ask for the pH of the <u>acid solutio</u>n since as the above calculation shows we have a basic solution the moment all the acid has been consumed.

If the speed of a sound wave increases what other property of the wave must also increase when all other wave properties are hel
kati45 [8]
<h2>Frequency</h2>

Explanation:

Wave frequency is the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time.

Wave speed is the speed at which a wave travels.

Let the wave speed be v

Let the wave frequency be f

Let the wave length be l

The wave speed,frequency and wave length are related by the equation v=f\times l.

When v increases,f increases on the other side to maintain equality when no other property is changing.
