Why do scientist describe the properties of elemts under "Standard Conditions"?

1 answer:

7 0

The standard states of elements are the forms that they adopt at a temperature of 25°C and pressure of 1 atmosphere. These forms of the elements are the reactants in the formation equations of multi-element substances. The heat of formation (∆Hf°) of an element in its standard state is zero

A certain first-order reaction is 58% complete in 95 s. What are the values of the rate constant and the half-life for this proc

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

$0.005734 s^{-1}$ and 20.86 seconds are the values of the rate constant and the half-life for this process respectively..

Explanation:

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

$a_o=a\times e^{-kt}$

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

$a_o$ = let initial amount of the reactant

a = amount left after decay process

We have :

$a_o=x$

$a=58\%\times x=0.58x$

t = 95 s

$0.58x=x\times e^{-k\times 95 s}$

$\k= 0.005734 s^{-1}$

Half life is given by for first order kinetics::

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

$=\frac{0.693}{0.005734 s^{-1}}=120.86 s$

$0.005734 s^{-1}$ and 20.86 seconds are the values of the rate constant and the half-life for this process respectively..
