A Thermochemical Equation is a balanced stoichiometric chemical equation that includes the enthalpy change, ΔH. In variable form, a thermochemical equation would look like this:
A + B → CΔH = (±) #
Where {A, B, C} are the usual agents of a chemical equation with coefficients and “(±) #” is a positive or negative numerical value, usually with units of kJ.

Only the amount of gas is held constant.
Answer : The total mass of oxygen gas released in the reaction will be, 12.8 grams
Explanation :
Law of conservation of mass : It states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.
This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.
The balanced chemical reaction will be,

According to the law of conservation of mass,
Total mass of reactant side = Total mass of product side
Total mass of
= Total mass of 
or,
Total mass of
= Mass of
+ Mass of 
As we are given :
Total mass of
= 16.12 grams
The mass of
= 9.72 grams
So,
Total mass of
= Mass of
+ Mass of 


Therefore, the total mass of oxygen gas released in the reaction will be, 12.8 grams
Answer: The rate constant for the reaction is 
Explanation:
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

where,
k = rate constant
t = age of sample = 559 min
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 
a - x = amount left after decay process = 



The rate constant for the reaction is
