The decomposition of carbon disulfide to carbon monosulfide and sulfur is first order with k=2.8 ×10^-7 at 1000°C .What is the half-life of this reaction at 1000°C?

2.5×10⁶ s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Rate constant (K) = 2.8×10¯⁷ s¯¹

Half-life (t½) =?

The half-life of a first order reaction is given by:

Half-life (t½) = 0.693 / Rate constant (K)

t½ = 0.693 / K

With the above formula, we can obtain the half-life of the reaction as follow:

Rate constant (K) = 2.8×10¯⁷ s¯¹

Half-life (t½) =?

t½ = 0.693 / K

t½ = 0.693 / 2.8×10¯⁷

t½ = 2.5×10⁶ s

Therefore, the half-life of the reaction is 2.5×10⁶ s

1 is the answer to this problem

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.
