Use this graph to answer the following questions:
What is the half life of the reactlon?
1/2
Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
Suppose the rate of the reaction is known to be first order in
NH,OH. Calculate the value of the rate constant k.
k = ]
Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Also be sure you
include the correct unit symbol.
Predict the concentration of NH,OH in the engineer's
reaction vessel after 7.5 seconds have passed.
Assume no other reaction is important, and continue to
NH,OH = M
assume the rate is first order in NH,OH.
Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
