Answer : The final pressure of the basketball is, 0.990 atm
Explanation :
Gay-Lussac's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.
or,
where,
= initial pressure = 1.10 atm
= final pressure = ?
= initial temperature =
= initial temperature =
Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:
Thus, the final pressure of the basketball is, 0.990 atm
Explanation:
The given data is:
The half-life of gentamicin is 1.5 hrs.
The reaction follows first-order kinetics.
The initial concentration of the reactants is 8.4 x 10-5 M.
The concentration of reactant after 8 hrs can be calculated as shown below:
The formula of the half-life of the first-order reaction is:
Where k = rate constant
t1/2=half-life
So, the rate constant k value is:
The expression for the rate constant is :
Substitute the given values and the k value in this formula to get the concentration of the reactant after time 8 hrs is shown below:
Answer: The concentration of reactant remains after 8 hours is 2.09x10^-6M.
