Answer: The rate constant is 
Explanation ;
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant = ?
t = age of sample = 4.26 min
a = initial amount of the reactant = 2.56 mg
a - x = amount left after decay process = 2.50 mg
Now put all the given values in above equation to calculate the rate constant ,we get
Thus rate constant is [tex]0.334s^{-1}
A physical property of an element is a property of an element that can observed or measured without changing the chemical nature of the element.
A chemical property of an element is a property of an element that can only be observed or measure when the chemical property of the element is altered or changed.
Based on this;
The boiling point of bromine is a physical property of bromine.
The high reactivity of bromine with many elements is a chemical property of bromine.
Answer:
A pure substance has a definite chemical composition
Answer:
B) The term "inert" was dropped because it no longer described all the group 8A elements.
Explanation:
Inert elements in chemistry simply refers to elements that are chemically inactive and are not expected to form any compounds. this is the general belief for the group 8 elements as they all have complete duplet/octet configurations (and ideally, they ought to be very stable with no tendency to form compounds by participating in the loss and gain of electrons). However the discovery of compounds like xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4) proved this to be wrong.
Again, the reason the term - inert gses was droppedis beacause this term is not strictly accurate because several of them do take part in chemical reactions.
After dropping the term - Inert gases, they are now referred to as noble gases.
