Answer:

t=147.24\ min

Explanation:

Given that:

Half life = 30 min

t_{1/2}=\frac{\ln2}{k}

Where, k is rate constant

So,  

k=\frac{\ln2}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac{\ln2}{30}\ min^{-1}

The rate constant, k = 0.0231 min⁻¹

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}

Where,  

[A_t] is the concentration at time t

[A_0] is the initial concentration

Given that:

The rate constant, k = 0.0231 min⁻¹

Initial concentration [A_0] = 7.50 mg

Final concentration [A_t] = 0.25 mg

Time = ?

Applying in the above equation, we get that:-

0.25=7.50e^{-0.0231\times t}

750e^{-0.0231t}=25

750e^{-0.0231t}=25

x=\frac{\ln \left(30\right)}{0.0231}

t=147.24\ min

The compound C_{3}H_{4} will have a triple bond.

Explanation:

A compound which consists of carbon and hydrogen atoms is known as a hydrocarbon.

Alkanes, alkenes and alkynes are all hydrocarbons.

  • General chemical formula of an alkane is C_{n}H_{2n+2}. In an alkane molecule, all the atoms will be bonded through single bonds.

For example, C_{3}H_{8} is propane.

  • General chemical formula of an alkene is C_{n}H_{2n}. An alkene molecule will have atleast one double bond between two carbon atoms.

For example, C_{2}H_{4} is ethene.

  • General chemical formula of an alkyne is C_{n}H_{2n-2}. An alkyne will have atleast one triple bond between two carbon atoms.

For example, C_{3}H_{4} is propyne.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options C_{3}H_{4} will have a triple bond.
