Answer:
t = 7.58 * 10¹⁹ seconds
Explanation:
First order rate constant is given as,
k = (2.303
/t) log [A₀]
/[Aₙ]
where [A₀] is the initial concentraion of the reactant; [Aₙ] is the concentration of the reactant at time, <em>t</em>
[A₀] = 615 calories;
[Aₙ] = 615 - 480 = 135 calories
k = 2.00 * 10⁻²⁰ sec⁻¹
substituting the values in the equation of the rate constant;
2.00 * 10⁻²⁰ sec⁻¹ = (2.303/t) log (615/135)
(2.00 * 10⁻²⁰ sec⁻¹) / log (615/135) = (2.303/t)
t = 2.303 / 3.037 * 10⁻²⁰
t = 7.58 * 10¹⁹ seconds
Answer:
If the volume of a gas increased from 2 to 6 L while the temperature was held constant, <u><em>the pressure of the gas decreased by a factor of 3.</em></u>
Explanation:
Boyle's law that says "The volume occupied by a given gaseous mass at constant temperature is inversely proportional to pressure." This means that if the pressure increases, the volume decreases, while if the pressure decreases, the volume increases.
Boyle's law is expressed mathematically as:
Pressure * Volume = constant
or
P * V = k
To obtain the proportionality factor k you must make the quotient:
k= 3
This means that <u><em>if the volume of a gas increased from 2 to 6 L while the temperature was held constant, the pressure of the gas decreased by a factor of 3.</em></u>
Answer:
- The standard form of a chemical element is the natural mixture of several isotopes of the same element, which is atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons, while an isotope is a particular kind of atom with a definite number of neutrons.
Explanation:
A <em>chemical element</em> is a pure substance formed by atoms with the same atomic number (number of protons). This is because it is the number of protons what identifies an element.
For example: oxygen is a chemical element, so oxygen is formed by only atoms of oxygen, and the atomic number of those atoms is 8, because every oxygen atom has 8 protons.
Nevertheless, some atoms of oxygen, may have different number of neutrons. Isotopes are different kind of atoms of the same element, which only differ in the number of neutrons. So, some atoms of oxygen will have 8 neutrons, other 9 neutrons, and other 10 neutrons (those are the stable isotopes of oxygen).
That difference in neutrons, is generally accepted that, does not modifiy substantially the chemical properties of the element, but the mass number. So, the isotopes with more neutrons wil be heavier, and the isotopes with less neutrons will be lighter.
- Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons.
In general a chemical element is formed by a mixutre of isotopes of the same element.
