How many half-lives will it take for the concentration of the N20 to reach 50.00 % of its original concentration? Nitrous oxide (N20) is used as an anesthetic (laughing gas) and in aerosol cans to produce whipped cream. It is also a potent greenhouse gas. Thedecomposition of N20 is first order. It decomposes slowly to N2 and O2:2N,0(g) → 2N, (9) + 0,(g)

A gas sample of Br2 and H2 is irradiated with light with a wavelength range between 440 and 500 nm. It is known that this radiation has sufficient energy to obtain HBr. With this data you can say:a) All the molecules present will give rise to HBr, because the wavelengths are appropriate to activate all the reactants.b) The rate of HBr formation depends directly on the concentration of H2 in the sample.c) The rate of HBr formation depends directly on the concentration of Br2 in the sample.d) If the sample is irradiated with a wavelength of 580 nm, there is no guarantee that HBr will be obtained.

Fallout from nuclear weapons tests in the atmosphere is mainly 90Sr and 137Cs , which have 28.6- and 32.2-y half-lives, respectively. Atmospheric tests were terminated in most countries in 1963, although China only did so in 1980. It has been found that environmental activities of these two isotopes are decreasing faster than their half-lives. Why might this be?

5. A reaction has the expeimental rate law = rate = k[A]2[B]. If the concentraion of A is doubled and the concentration of B is halved, what happens to the reaction rate? 11. Studies of radioactive decay of nuclei show that the decay rate of the radioactive sample is proportional to the amount of the radioactive species present. Once half the radioactivity has disappeared, the radioactive decay rate is only half of its original value. Is radioactive decay a zeroth-order, first order, or second order process? 13.
