Ion, any atom or group of atoms that bears one or more positive or negative electrical charges. Positively charged ions are called cations; negatively charged ions, anions. Ions are formed by the addition of electrons to, or the removal of electrons from, neutral atoms or molecules or other ions; by combination of ions with other particles; or by rupture of a covalent bond between two atoms in such a way that both of the electrons of the bond are left in association with one of the formerly bonded atoms. Examples of these processes include the reaction of a sodium atom with a chlorine atom to form a sodium cation and a chloride anion; the addition of a hydrogen cation to an ammonia molecule to form an ammonium cation; and the dissociation of a water molecule to form a hydrogen cation and a hydroxide anion.

First-order reaction that results in the destruction of a pollutant has a rate constant of 0.l/day. (a) how many days will it ta

Klio2033 [76]

Rate equation for first order reaction is as follows:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}log\frac{A_{0}}{A_{t}}$

Here, k is rate constant of the reaction, t is time of the reaction, $A_{0}$ is initial concentration and $A_{t}$ is concentration at time t.

The rate constant of the reaction is $0.1 day^{-1}$ .

(a) Let the initial concentration be 100, If 90% of the chemical is destroyed, the chemical present at time t will be 100-90=10, on putting the values,

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}log\frac{A_{0}}{A_{t}}=\frac{2.303}{0.1 day^{-1}}log\frac{100}{10}=23.03 days$

Thus, time required to destroy 90% of the chemical is 23.03 days.

(b) Let the initial concentration be 100, If 99% of the chemical is destroyed, the chemical present at time t will be 100-99=1, on putting the values,

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}log\frac{A_{0}}{A_{t}}=\frac{2.303}{0.1 day^{-1}}log\frac{100}{1}=46.06 days$

Thus, time required to destroy 99% of the chemical is 46.06 days.

(c) Let the initial concentration be 100, If 99.9% of the chemical is destroyed, the chemical present at time t will be 100-99.9=0.1, on putting the values,

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}log\frac{A_{0}}{A_{t}}=\frac{2.303}{0.1 day^{-1}}log\frac{100}{0.1}=69.09 days$

Thus, time required to destroy 99.9% of the chemical is 69.09 days.
