Decay is a type of degradation reaction and thus is considered a first order reaction. thus the formula goes like this.
rate constant= 0.693/half life
so here...
rate constant= 0.693/1620 year^-1
Answer:
1. The gas law used: Dalton's law of partial pressure.
2. Pressure of nitrogen = 331 mmHg
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Total pressure (Pₜ) = 592 mmHg
Pressure of Oxygen (Pₒ) = 261 mmHg
Pressure of nitrogen (Pₙ) =?
The pressure of nitrogen in the sample can be obtained by using the Dalton's law of partial pressure. This is illustrated below:
Pₜ = Pₒ + Pₙ
592 = 261 + Pₙ
Collect like terms
592 – 261 = Pₙ
331 = Pₙ
Pₙ = 331 mmHg
Therefore, the pressure of nitrogen in the sample is 331 mmHg
We know that the equation for density is:
where D is the density, m is the mass in grams, and V is the volume.
Given two of the variables, we can then solve for density:
Therefore, we now know that the density of the gasoline is 0.833g/mL.
