The rate constant, k, for the decomposition reaction :  k = 0.0124 / days

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The half-life of 56 days

Required

The rate constant, k

Solution

For first-order, rate law : ln[A]=−kt+ln[A]o

The half-life :  the time required to reduce to half of its initial value.

The half life :

t1/2 = (ln 2) / k

k = (ln 2) / t1/2

k = 0.693 / 56 days

k = 0.0124 / days

Which of the following represents a pair of isotopes? Select one: a. 146C, 147N b. 11H, 21H c. 136C, 147N d. O2, O3 e. 3216S, 32
skad [1K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Isotopy is a phenomenon in which there exists two or more kind of atoms of the same element. These atoms have the same number of protons but different mass numbers. That is, they have the same atomic number but differ only by the number of neutrons in the nucleus of the atom. Now, let us apply this information to the options individually:

A. Is wrong, they are not the same element

B. Is correct. they both belong to the same element hydrogen. Infact, they are named protium and deuterium respectively

C is wrong they are not same element

D is wrong They are not elements at all

E. Is wrong, one is an element, the other is a molecule

Which equation illustrates conservation of mass?
pochemuha
Answer = c


Conservation of mass (mass is never lost or gained in chemical reactions), during chemical reaction no particles are created or destroyed, the atoms are rearranged from the reactants to the products.

N2 and H2 are mixed in 14:3 mass ratio. After certain time ammonia was found to be 40% by mol. The mole fraction of N2 at that t
son4ous [18]

Answer : The mole fraction of nitrogen will be 0.4615.


Explanation : When nitrogen (N_{2})and hydrogen (H_{2})are mixed, the mole ratio becomes 1 : 1.5,


Now we know that (H_{2}) is acting as a limiting agent.


So at the time of when 0.4 moles of (NH_{3}) is been formed it requires 0.4 moles of (N_{2}) and 3.4 moles of (H_{2})


So, we find the the remaining (N_{2}) will be 0.6 and

(H_{2}) will be 0.3 mole present in mixture.


So, the mole fraction of (N_{2}) becomes = 0.6 / (0.6 + 0.4 + 0.3) Which becomes = 0.4615

If the kinetic energy of a particle is equal to twice its rest mass, what is the velocity of the particle? Determine if relativi
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The velocity of the particle is 2 m/s,

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is defined as energy of the body due to its motion. It is given by :

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where :

m = mass of the object

v = velocity of the object

We have , particle with mass m and its kinetic energy is twice its mass.

K.E=2m

2m=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

v^2=\frac{4}{1}

v=2

And unit of velocity are m/s , so the velocity of the particle is 2 m/s.

What orbitals are used to form the 10 sigma bonds in propane (ch3ch2ch3)? Label each atom with the appropriate hybridization. Dr
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Mixing of pure orbitals having nearly equal energy to form equal number of completely new orbitals is said to be hybridization.

For the compound, CH_3CH_2CH_3 the electronic configuration of the atoms, carbon and hydrogen are:

Carbon (atomic number=6): In ground state= 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{2}

In excited state: 1s^{2}2s^{1}2p^{3}

Hydrogen (atomic number=1): 1s^{1}

All the bonds in the compound is single bond(\sigma-bond) that is they are formed by head on collision of the orbitals.

The structure of the compound is shown in the image.

The Carbon-Hydrogen bond is formed by overlapping of s-orbital of hydrogen to p-orbital of carbon.

In order to complete the octet the required number of electrons for carbon is 4 and for hydrogen is 1. So, the electron in 1s^{1} of hydrogen will overlap to the 2p^{3}-orbital of carbon.

Thus, the hybridization of Hydrogen is s-hybridization and the hybridization of Carbon is sp^{3}-hybridization.

The hybridization of each atom is shown in the image.
