2. The hydrolysis of an organic compound is known to be mainly base-catalyzed with a rate constant of kb: 0.98 1/M.s. Calculate the half-life of this compound assuming pseudo-first order kinetics for its degradation at a pH of 10 and a starting concentration of 10³M. How will the half-life change if the reaction has zero-order kinetics? Compare the corresponding half-lifes assuming the same rate of hydrolysis in zero-order with the unit of M/s. How will the result change if the starting concentration is 10-¹M for both cases?

Aluminum is the most abundant metal in the earth’s crust. It is also a common household utensilmetal. The extraction of Aluminum from its ore is expensive because the metallurgy uses a veryhigh amount of electricity. The extraction of Aluminum metal takes place in a number of steps,which may be summarized below.Step 1: Washing and mechanical processes employed to the ore to remove basic impurities.Step 2: Conversion of Aluminum ore (Bauxite) to powdered Alumina (Al2O3) by reaction withconcentrated NaOH solution.Step 3: Dissolving Alumina in molten Cryolite(Na3AlF6)Step 4: Electrolytic refining of the solution at step 2. (Diagram below) to form pure Aluminummetal.Step 5: Collecting pure molten Aluminum at the cathode, which change later to solid Aluminummetal.As you observed, many changes are taking place in different steps for the above extractionprocess. Classify them as physical or chemical change and explain why?a) Step 1 __________________________________________b) Step 2…
Explain the meaning of the advantages of coulometry * No need to prepare, standardize, or store standard solutions. * Can prepare unstable reagents in situ (original place) since they react almost as soon as they are generated - e.g., C12, Br2 * Straightforward to generate tiny quantities of reagent with good accuracy since it is easy to control current and time electronically. * A single coulometric titration apparatus can be used for redox, acid/base, precipitation, complexometric, etc., titrations.
