Answer : The time taken for the reaction is, 28 s.
Explanation :
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by :
where,
k = rate constant = 0.0632
t = time taken for the process = ?
= initial amount or concentration of the reactant = 1.28 M
= amount or concentration left time 't' =
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get:
Therefore, the time taken for the reaction is, 28 s.
Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
In this case, let's see both molecules per separate:
In the case of SeO₂ the central atom would be the Se. The Se has oxidation states of 2+, and 4+. In this molecule it's working with the 4+, while oxygen is working with the 2- state. Now, how do we know that Se is working with that state?, simply, let's do an equation for it. We know that this molecule has a formal charge of 0, so:
Se = x
O = -2
x + (-2)*2 = 0
x - 4 = 0
x = +4.
Therefore, Selenium is working with +4 state, the only way to bond this molecule is with a covalent bond, and in the case of the oxygen will be with double bond. See picture below.
In the case of CO₂ happens something similar. Carbon is working with +4 state, so in order to stabilize the charges, it has to be bonded with double bonds with both oxygens. The picture below shows.
