The breakdown of a certain pollutant X in sunlight is known to follow first-order kinetics. An atmospheric scientist studying the process fills a 20.0Lreaction flask with a sample of urban air and finds that the partial pressure of X in the flask decreases from 0.473atm to 0.376atm over 5.6hours. Calculate the initial rate of decomposition of X, that is, the rate at which Xwas disappearing at the start of the experiment.

Achemist who studies water samples did a demonstration of how to test for lead in water. she added a clear solution of potassium iodide to a clear solution of lead nitrate. then a yellow swirling solid formed in the liquid. what is most likely true about the yellow solid?

The element chlorine has two stable isotopes, chlorine-35 with a mass of 34.97 amu and chlorine-37 with a mass of 36.95 amu. from the atomic weight of cl = 35.45 one can conclude that:

In a modern periodic table, there are seven periods. a period is any horizontal row of the periodic table, and the elements in a period have consecutive atomic numbers. a group is any vertical column in the periodic table, and there are 18 such groups. groups 3–12, also known as the “b” group elements, are called transition metals. groups 1–2 and 13–18, also known as the “a” group elements, are sometimes called the main groups. metals are characterized by malleability, ductility, conductivity, and a tendency to lose electrons. main group metals are found in groups 1 and 2. nonmetallic elements fall on the right-hand side of the periodic table, that is, groups 13–18. nonmetals have the tendency to gain electrons and are generally brittle. they can be solids, liquids, or gasses at room temperature. now, label the areas of the modern periodic table using the above information. drag the appropriate labels to their respective targets.
