Answer:

Half life = 6.3 seconds

Explanation:

C2H5Cl --> products

Experiment shows that the decomposition is first order.

Time (s) ln [C2H5Cl] (M)

1.0          –1.625

2.0         –1.735

The half-life of a first-order reaction is a constant that is related to the rate constant for the reaction:

t1/2 = 0.693/k.

To obtain the rate constant, k, we use the integral rate equation;

ln[A] = ln[A]o - kt

kt = ln[A]o - ln[A]

k = (ln[A]o - ln[A]) / t

k =  [–1.625  - (–1.735)] / 1

k = –1.625 + 1.735

k = 0.11

Half life, t1/2 = 0.693/ 0.11

Half life = 6.3 seconds

Tamiku [17]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The table above summarizes data given to a student to evaluate the type of change that took place when substance X was mixed with water. The student claimed that the data did not provide enough evidence to determine whether a chemical or physical change took place and that additional tests were needed. Which of the following identifies the best way to gather evidence to support the type of change that occurred when water and Xwere mixed?

A. Measuring the melting point of the mixture of water and X

B. Adding another substance to the mixture of water and X to see whether a solid forms

C Measuring and comparing the masses of the water,  X, and the mixture of water and X

D Measuring the electrical conductivities of X and the mixture of water and X

Answer:

D Measuring the electrical conductivities of X and the mixture of water and X

Explanation:

Unfortunately, I am unable to reproduce the table here. However, from the table,  the temperature of the of the mixture of the solid X and water was 101.6°C. This is above the boiling point of water and way below the temperature of the solid X.

This goes a long way to suggest that there was some kind of interaction between the water and X which accounted for the observed temperature of the system of X in water.

The only way we can be able to confirm if X actually dissolved in water is to measure the conductivity of the water. dissolved solids increase the conductivity of water.

Choose the answer in which the three atoms and/or ions are listed in order of increasing EXPECTED size (smallest particle listed
svp [43]

Answer:

Ar < Cl - < S2-

Explanation:

All the species written above are isoelectronic. This means that they all possess the same number of electrons. All the species above possess 18 electrons, the noble gas electron configuration.

However, for isoelectronic species, the greater the atomic number of the specie, the smaller it is. This is because, greater atomic number implies that their are more protons in the nucleus exerting a greater attractive force on the electrons thereby making the specie smaller in size due to high electrostatic attraction.
