At 400 k, the half-life for the decomposition of a sample of a gaseous compound initially at 55.5 kpa was 340 s. when the pressure was 28.9 kpa, the half-life as 178 s. determine the order of the reaction.

The order of this half-life reaction is zero. This is a zero order reaction.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

At the pressure P0,1 of 55.5 kPa, the half-life is 340 s

At the pressure P0,2 of 28.9 kPa, the half-life is 178 s

Step 2: Calculate the order

(n-1) = ((log (t1/2P0,1 / t1/2P0,2)) / (log (P0,2 /P0,1)))

⇒ with t1/2P0,1 = the half-life at a pressure of 55.5 kPa = 340 s

⇒ with t1/2P0,2 = the half-life at a pressure of 28.9 kPa = 178 s

⇒ with P0,1 = the pressure of 55.5 kPa

⇒ with P0,2 = the pressure of 28.9 kPa

(n-1) = (log (340/178)) /  log( 28.9/55.5)

(n-1) = log (1.91) / log(0.52)

(n-1) = 0.281 / -0.284

n-1 = -1

n = 0

The order of this half-life reaction is zero. This is a zero order reaction.

explanation:

hurricanes form when warm, moist air from the ocean surface quickly rises into the atmosphere and forms storm clouds and rain. when the clouds are formed, heat is released which warms the cool air in the upper regions of the atmosphere so that the cycle can continue. which two phases of the water cycle are repeated in this process?
