Answer:
A) t = 22.5 min and B) t = 29.94 min
Explanation:
Initial concentration, [A]₀ = 100
Final concentration = 100 -75 = 25
Time = 45 min
A) First order reaction
ln[A] − ln[A]₀ = −kt
Solving for k;
ln[25] − ln[100] = - 45k
-1.386 = -45k
k = 0.0308 min-1
How long after its start will the reaction be 50% complete?
Initial concentration, [A]₀ = 100
Final concentration, [A] = 100 -50 = 50
Time = ?
ln[A] − ln[A]₀ = −kt
Solving for k;
ln[50] − ln[100] = - 0.0308 * t
-0.693 = -0.0308 * t
t = 22.5 min
B) Zero Order
[A] = [A]₀ − kt
Using the values from the initial reaction and solving for k, we have;
25 = 100 - k(45)
-75 = -45k
k = 1.67 M min-1
How long after its start will the reaction be 50% complete?
Initial concentration, [A]₀ = 100
Final concentration, [A] = 100 -50 = 50
Time = ?
[A] = [A]₀ − kt
50 = 100 - (1.67)t
-50 = - 1.67t
t = 29.94 min
Answer:
3.01 × 10^24 particles
Explanation:
According to Avagadro, in one mole of a substance, there are 6.02 × 10^23 atoms or particles.
Using the formula: N = n × NA
Where;
N= number of particles or atoms
n = number of moles
NA = Avagadro's constant or number
This means that for 5 moles of a substance, there will be:
5 × 6.02 × 10^23
= 30.1 × 10^23
= 3.01 × 10^24 particles
