This decomposition is first order with respect to phosphine, and has a half‑life of 35.0 s at 953 K. Calculate the partial pressure of hydrogen gas that is present after 70.5 s if a 2.20 L vessel containing 2.29 atm of phosphine gas is heated to 953 K.

0.57 atm

Explanation:

When a a reaction is first order, we have from calculus the following relation:

ln[A]t/[A]₀ = - kt

where [A]t is the concentration of A ( phosphine in this case ) after a time, t

           [A]₀ is the initial concentration of A

           k is the rate constant, and

           t is the time

We also know that for a first order reaction

           k = 0.693/ t 1/2

wnere t 1/2 is the half-life.

This equation is derived for the case when A]t/= 1/2 x [A]₀ which occurs at the half-life.

Thus, lets first find k from the half life time, and then solve for t = 70.5 s

k = 0.693 /  35.0 s = 0.0198 s⁻¹

ln [ PH₃ ]t / [ PH₃]₀ = - kt

from the ideal gas law we know pV = nRT, so the volumes cancel:

ln (pPH₃ )t / p(PH₃)₀ = - kt

taking inverse log to both sides of the equation:

(pPH₃ )t / p(PH₃)₀  = - kt

thus:

(pPH₃ )t  = 2.29 atm x e^(- 0.0198 s⁻¹ x 70.5 s ) = 0.57 atm

some sources quote the lethal dose, for an average 170lbs opiate-naive individual is between 75 and 375 mg

for step 7 table c on the lab "newtons law of action"   the average time it took the car to travel .25 meters   was 1.92 seconds.

the average time it took the car to travel 0.50 meters was 2.61 seconds

hope this : )
