Be sure to answer all parts. Acetone is one of the most important solvents in organic chemistry. It is used to dissolve everything from fats and waxes to airplane glue and nail polish. At high temperatures, it decomposes in a first-order process to methane and ketene (CH2═C═O). At 600°C, the rate constant is 8.7 × 10−3 s−1. (a) What is the half-life of the reaction? Give your answer in scientific notation. 7.97 × 10 s (b) How long does it take for 34% of a sample of acetone to decompose? s (c) How long does it take for 89% of a sample of acetone to decompose? Give your answer in scientific notation. × 10 s

a) 79.66 seconds is the half-life of the reaction.

b) It will take seconds for 34% of a sample of an acetone to decompose.

c) It will take seconds for 89% of a sample of an acetone to decompose.

Explanation:

The decomposition of acetone follows first order kinetics

The rate constant of the reaction = k =

a)

Half life of the reaction =

For the first order kinetic half life is related to k by :

79.66 seconds is the half-life of the reaction.

b)

Let the initial concentration of acetone be =

Final concentration of acetone left after t time = [A]

For the first order kinetic :

Solving for t;

It will take 47.76 seconds for 34% of a sample of an acetone to decompose.

c)

Let the initial concentration of acetone be =

Final concentration of acetone left after t time = [A]

For the first order kinetic :

Solving for t;

It will take seconds for 89% of a sample of an acetone to decompose.

that's just how they are

explanation:

you can't control another persons decisions, all you can do is ask that they respect yours. relationships are hard because you have to put the effort into making sure that another person feels seen, heard, and loved. as time goes on, it gets easier, you learn how to do these things without thinking. loving them becomes as easy as breathing, but every relationship will have fights, and sometimes it'll feel like you're drowning, but as long as you can talk it out and compromise, because that's truly what loving another person is, is compromise, then you'll be okay. movies and tv shows have glamorized and romanticized (pardon the pun) what a relationship would be like. real relationships aren't perfectly timed kisses in the rain, zero fights until one big one ends everything, 6 month anniversaries. real relationships are sleepy confused kisses when one person has to leave for work earlier than the other,   real relationships are having small disagreements, real relationships are messy and confusing, real relationships is knowing that even if you're relationship may not last forever and this may not be the person you're going to spend the rest of your life with, that you love them, and you would do anything to see them happy. so yes, relationships are difficult, but so are many other things, relationships can be amazing but also stressful, and not just romantic i'm also talking about platonic relationships (although the primary example here was romantic) sometimes is best to leave friendships behind, so remember, always do whats going to you be happy in the long run.
