@X@user.full_name@X@ @GMU: Hydrogen iodide decomposes at 410°C according to second order kinetics (see reaction below). The half-life for this reaction was measured to be 5.52e3 s when the initial concentration of HI was 5.88e-3 M. What is the rate constant for this reaction?HI(g) → H2(g) + I2(g)

@X@user.full_name@X@ @GMU: Uranium -238 decays in a series of steps to Pb-206. When the material is very old, one can treat the kinetics as a decay directly to Pb and the ratio of these two can be treated as a measure of the age of a rock. A rock containing 238U and 206Pb was examined to determine its approximate age. The molar ratio of 206Pb to 238U was 0.2212. Assuming no lead was originally present and that all lead formed remained in the rock, what is the age of the rock (in years)? The half-life of 238U is 4.50e9 yr.

@X@user.full_name@X@ @GMU: Calculate the [H3O+] of 114.01 mL of a buffer initially consisting of 0.1752 M C2H5NH2 and 0.1926 M C2H5NH3Br after addition of 0.0031 mol of HCl. Assume that no volume change occurs after addition of the acid. The Kb of C2H5NH2 is 5.60e-4
