Consider the following first-order reaction: A → B. The concentration of A at the start of the reaction is 4.17 M and after 4.84 s is 3.56 M. (a) Using the integrated rate law for a first-order reaction, calculate the value of the rate constant.

Answer : The value of rate constant is,

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

where,

k = rate constant  = ?

t = time passed by the sample  = 4.84 s

a = initial concentration = 4.17 M

a - x = concentration after time 4.84 s = 3.56 M

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

Therefore, the value of rate constant is,

r just means there's a number of carbon in teh chain. for example rcooh means that after x number of carbon, the chain ends with cooh.

explanation:

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
