A student asks why the ashes from a fire have a much lower mass than wood that was burned.

A decomposition reaction, with a rate that is observed to slow down as the reaction proceeds, has a half-life that does not depe

Answer: A plot of the natural log of the concentration of the reactant as a function of time is linear.

Explanation:

Since it was explicitly stated in the question that the half life is independent of the initial concentration of the reactant then the third option must necessarily be false. Also, the plot of the natural logarithm of the concentration of reactant against time for a first order reaction is linear. In a first order reaction, the half life is independent of the initial concentration of the reactant. Hence the answer.

1. What is the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 3.11 grams of NaOH in

Elena L [17]

The molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 3.11 grams of NaOH in

enough water to make 300 milliliters of solution is 0. 256 mol/ L

Explanation:

<h3>What is Molarity?</h3>

Molarity (M) is the amount of a substance in a given volume of solution. It is otherwise known as the number of moles of solute in a certain amount of solution.

The unit of molarity is mol/L

<h3>Formula for calculating molarity :</h3>

Molarity = number of moles of solute divided by the volume of the solution\

<h3>Parameters </h3>

Molarity = ?

Number of moles is calculated using :

Mass of the solute = 3.11 grams of NaOH

Molar mass of the solute = Na + O + H

Let's input the atomic numbers of the elements: Na (23) , O (16) , H (1)

Molar mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40 g/ mol

Number of moles = 3.11 ÷ 40 = 0.077 mol

Volume of the solution is measured in Liters
