Answer: 5 months

Explanation: <u>Rate</u> <u>Law</u> for a reaction is an equation relating the reaction rate of reactants. It is expressed as:

aA + bB → cC + dD

r=k[A]^{a}[B]^{b}

in which k is the rate constant of the reaction

<u>Zero-order</u> <u>Kinetics</u> is a chemical reaction in which the rate doesn't change with the variations in concentration of the reactants. At this state, it is possible to determine the final concentration by using:

[A]=-kt+[A_{0}]

<u>Shelf-Life</u> is the time required for 10% of a drug or material to desintegrate: it is the time necessary for A to desintegrate 90% of its original concentration.

Then, the shelf-life for the drug is

[A]=-kt+[A_{0}]

90=-2t+100

2t = 10

t = 5

Shelf-life for a drug which decomposes by zero-order kinetics with rate constant of 3mgmL^{-1}month^{-1} is 5 months

Which ketone in each pair is more reactive?
KiRa [710]

Answer:

a. 2-heptanone is more reactive than 4-heptanone

b. chloromethyl phenyl ketone is more reactive than bromomethyl phenyl ketone

Explanation:

The reactivity of the carbonyl compound (ketone ) is affected by the steric effect. The steric effect is a hindrance that occurs in the structure or reactivity of a molecule, which is affected by the physical size and the proximity of the adjacent parts of the molecule.

Between 2-heptanone or 4-heptanone, 2-heptanone is more reactive than 4-heptanone. This is because 2-heptanone is less affected by the steric hindrance, unlike the 4-heptanone.

Similarly, the reactivity of the carbonyl compound (ketone) is also affected by the polarity on the carbon compound, which is associated with how electronegative the substituent attached is to the carbonyl compound. From the periodic table, the electronegativity of the Halogen family decreases down the group. Therefore chlorine is more electronegative than bromine.

As such, chloromethyl phenyl ketone is more reactive than bromomethyl phenyl ketone.

The Options are as follow,

<span>                               (1) CaCl</span>₂<span> (s)     (3) CH</span>₃<span>OH (l)</span>

<span>                               (2) C</span>₂<span>H</span>₆<span> (g)      (4) Cal</span>₂<span> (aq)</span>

Answer:

            Option-1 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

                  As we know crystal formation is the property of solids. Therefore, in given options we are given with four different states of matter. 

                  Option A, CaCl₂ is in a solid state , so it can exist in crystal form.

                  Option 2, C₂H₆ (Ethane) is in gas form, so it cannot form crystals.

                  Option 3, CH₃OH (Methanol) is present in liquid form, so it fails to form crystals.

                  Option 4, CaI₂, it is dissolved in water, Hence, it is in aqueous state, Therefore it also lacks crystal structure.
