Question

Give your answers to 3 significant figures (unless intructed otherwise), NO scientific notation.

Hypofluorous acid, HOF, is very unstable, decomposing in a first-order reaction to give HF and ½ O2, with a half-life of 30.0 minutes at room temperature:

HOF(g) → HF(g) + ½ O2 (g)

If the partial pressure of HOF in a 1.00-L flask is initially 1.00 x 102 mm Hg at 25°C,

(a) the rate constant for this reaction is  min-1

After exactly 40.0 minutes
(b) the partial pressure of HOF would be  mmHg

(c) the partial pressure of HF would be  mmHg

(d) the partial pressure of O2 would be  mmHg

(e) the total pressure in the flask would be  mm Hg
