Answer:By referring to a periodic table or table of elements, we see that phosphorus (symbol P) has an atomic number of 15. Thus, each atom has 15 protons. The mass number of the ion is 15 + 16 = 31. Because the ion has 15 protons and 18 electrons (three more electrons than protons), its net charge is 3-.

The rate constant for the decomposition reaction of H2O2 is 3.66 × 10−3 s−1 at a particular temperature. What is the concentrati

Pepsi [2]

Answer: 3.72 M

Explanation:

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 = $3.66\times 10^{-3}s^{-1}$

t = age of sample = 15.0 minutes

a = let initial amount of the reactant = 10.0 M

a - x = amount left after decay process = ?

$15.0\times 60s=\frac{2.303}{3.66\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{10.0}{(a-x)}$

$\log\frac{100}{(a-x)}=1.43$

$\frac{100}{(a-x)}=26.9$

$(a-x)=3.72M$

The concentration of $H_2O_2$ in a solution after 15.0 minutes have passed is 3.72 M
