Answer : The time taken for the concentration of the reactant in the reaction to fall to one-fourth of its initial value is, 12.4 seconds.

Explanation :

Half-life = 29.8 s

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac{0.693}{29.8s}

k=0.0232s^{-1}

Now we have to calculate the time passed.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 0.0232s^{-1}

t = time passed by the sample  = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = x M

a - x = amount left after decay process = x-\frac{1}{4}\times (x)=\frac{3}{4}\times (X)=\frac{3x}{4}M

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

t=\frac{2.303}{0.0232s^{-1}}\log\frac{x}{(\frac{3x}{4})}

t=12.4s

Therefore, the time taken for the concentration of the reactant in the reaction to fall to one-fourth of its initial value is, 12.4 seconds.

Which of the following lists the correct symbol for the ion that tin forms when it loses 2 electrons, the correct classification
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf Option \ A}

Explanation:

The symbol for TIN is Sn.

When Sn loses 2 electrons, it gets a double positive charge ( +2 ) and becomes \sf Sn ^{+2}.

It becomes a cation.

The name of Ion is Tin ( II ) Ion.

What volume of 0.194 MNa3PO4 solution is necessary to completely react with 85.5 mL of 0.109 MCuCl2 ?
ira [324]

Answer:

35.9 ml

Explanation:

Start with the balanced equation:

3CuCl2(aq)+2Na3PO4(aq)→Cu3(PO4)2(s)+6NaCl(aq)

This tells us that 3 moles of CuCI2 react with 2 moles Na3PO4-

∴  1 mole CuCl2 will react with 2/3 moles Na3PO4

We know that concentration = moles/volume i.e:

c= n/v

∴n=c×v

∴nCuCl2=0.107×91.01000=9.737×10−3

I divided by 1000 to convert ml to L

∴nNa3PO4=9.737×10−3×23=6.491×10−3

v=nc=6.491×10−30.181=35.86×10−3L

∴v=35.86ml
