Acetone is one of the most important solvents in organic chemistry. It is used to dissolve everything from fats and waxes to air

plane glue and nail polish. At high temperatures, it decomposes in a first-order process to methane and ketene (CH2═C═O). At 600°C, the rate constant is 8.7 × 10^−3 s^−1.
a. What is the half-life of the reaction?
b. How much time is required for 32% of a sample of acetone to decompose?
c. How much time is required for 81% of a sample of acetone to decompose?

Answer: a. 79.6 s

b. 44.3 s

c. 191 s

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  

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant  

a - x = amount left after decay process  

a) for completion of half life:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

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

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{8.7\times 10^{-3}s^{-1}}=79.6s

b) for completion of 32% of reaction  

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{100-32}

t=\frac{2.303}{8.7\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{100}{68}

t=44.3s

c) for completion of 81 % of reaction  

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{100-81}

t=\frac{2.303}{8.7\times 10^{-3}}\log\frac{100}{19}

t=191s

How many grams o an ointment base must be added to 45 g o clobetasol (T EMOVAT E) ointment, 0.05% w/w, to change its strength to
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Drug calculation

If we have 45g of clobetasol  = 0.05%w/w

Then what mass in g of clobetasol is in 0.03%w/w = 45 x 0.03/0.05 =27g

It means that 27g of clobetasol must be added to change the drug strength to 0.03% w/w

You have a 16.0-oz. (473-mL) glass of lemonade with a concentration of 2.66 M. The lemonade sits out on your counter for a coupl
salantis [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The new concentration of lemonade is 3.90 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}     .....(1)

Molarity of lemonade solution = 2.66 M

Volume of solution = 473 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

2.66M=\frac{\text{Moles of lemonade}\times 1000}{473}\\\\\text{Moles of lemonade}=\frac{2.66\times 473}{1000}=1.26mol

Now, calculating the new concentration of lemonade by using equation 1:

Moles of lemonade = 1.26 moles

Volume of solution = (473 - 150) mL = 323 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{New concentration of lemonade}=\frac{1.26\times 1000}{323}\\\\\text{New concentration of lemonade}=3.90M

Hence, the new concentration of lemonade is 3.90 M

makkiz [27]
0.216g of aluminium compound X  react with an excess of water water to produce gas. this gas burn completely  in O2  to form H2O and 108cm^3of CO2 only . the volume of CO2 was measured at room temperature and pressure

0.108 / n  =  24 / 1 
n = 0.0045 mole ( CO2 >>0.0045 mole 
0.216 - 0.0045 = 0.2115
so Al =   0.2115 / 27  =>  0.0078 mole 
C = 0.0045 * 1000 => 4.5    and Al  = 0.0078 * 1000 = 7.8
