Answer:
k = -0.0525 s⁻¹
Explanation:
The equaiton for a first order reaction is stated below:
ln[A]=−kt+ln[A]₀.
[A] = 5.50 x 10⁻³ M
[A]₀ = 7.60 x 10⁻² M
t = 85.0 - 35.0 = 50.0 s
The rate constant is represented by k and can be calculated substituting the values given above:
k = (ln[A]₀ - ln[A])/t
k = (ln5.50 x 10⁻³ M - ln7.60 x 10⁻² M)/50.0s
k = -0.0525 s⁻¹
Nectar contains a high concentration of sucrose (sugar).
When hummingbirds ingest the nectar, their cells use oxygen to convert it into carbon dioxide and water.
The oxidation of sucrose releases a large amount of energy, which the birds can use for flapping their wings, etc.
Mechanical waves are classified according to transverse waves.
