<span>Answer:
Graham's law of gaseous effusion states that the rate of effusion goes by the inverse root of the gas' molar mass.
râšM = constant
Therefore for two gases the ratio rates is given by:
r1 / r2 = âš(M2 / M1)
For Cl2 and F2:
r(Cl2) / r(F2) = âš{(37.9968)/(70.906)}
= 0.732 (to 3.s.f.)</span>
So platinum is a transition metal. In general transition metals are reducers, which means they can give the electrons they have, to the sodium atoms. Also in chemistry we look at sub orbitals rather that shells(2,8,8). So due to the energy from heat, the d orbital split as electrons move to a higher energy level. Some of the electrons are given to the sodium ions and therefore the flame changes colour to yellow.
The excitation of the electrons is caused by them getting energy and so moving up an energy level. This energy is released and the electron returns to it's original state. The energy released, however, does not release in the same direction, but in different/various directions. Therefore the colour of the light changes as some energy is released in the surrounding.
The decomposition time : 7.69 min ≈ 7.7 min
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
rate constant : 0.029/min
a concentration of 0.050 mol L to a concentration of 0.040 mol L
Required
the decomposition time
Solution
The reaction rate (v) shows the change in the concentration of the substance (changes in addition to concentrations for reaction products or changes in concentration reduction for reactants) per unit time
For first-order reaction :
[A]=[Ao]e^(-kt)
or
ln[A]=-kt+ln(A0)
Input the value :
ln(0.040)=-(0.029)t+ln(0.050)
-3.219 = -0.029t -2.996
-0.223 =-0.029t
t=7.69 minutes
