Answer:

k = 1.3 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

Explanation:

For a first order reaction the integrated rate law is

Ln [A]t/[A]₀ = - kt

where [A] are the concentrations of acetaldehyde in this case, t is the time and k is the rate constant.

We are given the half life for the concentration of acetaldehyde to fall to one half its original value, thus

Ln [A]t/[A]₀ = Ln 1/2[A]₀/[A]₀= Ln 1/2 = - kt

- 0.693 = - k(530s) ⇒ k = 1.3 x 10⁻³ s⁻¹

Write a net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when nickel(ii carbonate and excess hydrobromic acid (aq are combined.
seropon [69]
First, we write the reaction equation:
NiCO₃ + 2HBr → NiBr₂ + H₂CO₃

Now, writing this in ionic form:
NiCO₃ + 2H⁺ + 2Br⁻ → NiBr₂ + 2H⁺ + CO₃⁻²

(NiCO₃ is insoluble so it does not dissociate in to ions very readily)

Overall equation:
NiCO₃ + 2Br⁻ → NiBr₂ + CO₃⁻²

Draw an acceptable lewis structure for the molecular ion (radical cation) formed from this molecule when it is bombarded by high
RideAnS [48]
<span>To draw an acceptable lewis structure we must first determine the number of valance elections of the molecule in the ground state, and then adjust the molecule to refect the molecular radial cation after one or more of the electrons have been removed from its outter most shell. The lewis structure should refect the best configuation with good resonance and stability.</span>

Rust results from iron’s reaction to oxygen. An iron nail gains mass when it rusts. How does this reaction support the law of co
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Option (A). The mass of the rusted nail equals the mass of iron and the oxygen from the air it reacted with to form the rust.

Calculate the grams of so2 gas present at stp in a 5.9 l container. (r = 0.0821 l·atm/k·mol)
Neko [114]
There is an exact value for the standard volume at standard conditions of 1 atm and 273 K. This standard volume for any ideal gas is 22.4 L/mol. Thus,

Moles SO₂ = 5.9 L * 1 mol/22.4 L = 0.263 mol

The molar mass for SO₂ is 64.066 g/mol. So, the mass is:

Mass = 0.263 mol * 64.066 g/mol = <em>16.87 g SO₂</em>

Why nitro group is called an ambident group?​
Zanzabum

Answer:

The nitro group is an ambident group and is capable of getting attached to carbon chain through nitrogen. as well as through oxygen (-O - N = O) atom. The compound in which the -NO2 group is linked to the alkyl or aryl group through oxygen atom are called nitrites
