Answer: a) The concentration after 8.8min is 0.17 M
b) Time taken for the concentration of cyclopropane to decrease from 0.25M to 0.15M is 687 seconds.
Explanation:
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

where,
k = rate constant
t = age of sample
a = let initial amount of the reactant
a - x = amount left after decay process
a) concentration after 8.8 min:



b) for concentration to decrease from 0.25M to 0.15M


If you drop a bath bomb into water, then it will fizz because a chemical reaction is taking place.
<span>The pressure inside a coke bottle is really high. This helps keep the soda carbonated. That is, the additional pressure at the surface of the liquid inside the bottle forces the bubbles to stay dissolved within the soda. </span><span>When the coke is opened, there is suddenly a great pressure differential. The initial loud hiss that is heard is this pressure differential equalizing itself. All of the additional pressure found within the bottle pushes gas out of the bottle until the pressure inside the bottle is the same as the pressure outside the bottle. </span><span>However, once this occurs, the pressure inside the bottle is much lower and the gas bubbles that had previously been dissolved into the soda have nothing holding them in the liquid anymore so they start rising out of the liquid. As they reach the surface, they pop and force small explosions of soda. These explosions are the source of the popping and hissing that continues while the soda is opened to the outside air. Of course, after a while, the soda will become "flat" when the only gas left dissolved in the liquid will be the gas that is held back by the relatively weak atmospheric pressure.</span>
Metal atoms have outer electrons which are not tied to any one atom. These electrons can move freely within the structure of a metal when an electric current is applied. There are no such free electrons in covalent or ionic solids, so electrons can't flow through them - they are non-conductors.
In a shorter term - no
