To solve this problem, we will address each part separately. ### Part A: Prove the Reaction is First Order To prove that the reaction is first order, we need to verify that the reaction follows first-order kinetics. For a first-order reaction, the rate law is given by: \[ \text{Rate} = k[\text{CH}_3\text{I}] \] The integrated rate law for a first-order reaction is: \[ \ln[\text{CH}_3\text{I}] = -kt + \ln[\text{CH}_3\text{I}]_ \] Where: - \( [\text{CH}_3\text{I}]_ \) is the initial concentration. - \( k \) is the rate constant. - \( t \) is time. #### Steps: 1. **Calculate \(\ln[\text{CH}_3\text{I}]\) for each time point.** - At \( t = \), \([\text{CH}_3\text{I}] = .01\), so \(\ln(.01) = -4.605\) - At \( t = 650 \), \([\text{CH}_3\text{I}] = .0069\), so \(\ln(.0069) = -4.975\) - At \( t = 210 \), \([\text{CH}_3\text{I}] = .0044\), so \(\ln(.0044) = -5.424\) - At \( t = 260 \), \([\text{CH}_3\text{I}] = .0035\), so \(\ln(.0035) = -5.655\) - At \( t = 310 \), \([\text{CH}_3\text{I}] = .0031\), so \(\ln(.0031) = -5.774\) - At \( t = 400 \), \([\text{CH}_3\text{I}] = .0026\), so \(\ln(.0026) = -5.953\) 2. **Plot \(\ln[\text{CH}_3\text{I}]\) vs. \( t \).** - If the plot is a straight line, the reaction is first order. 3. **Calculate the slope of the line.** - The slope of the line is equal to \(-k\). The plot should show a linear relationship, indicating a first-order reaction. The negative slope will give the rate constant \( k \). ### Part B: Calculate the Half-Life For a first-order reaction, the half-life (\( t_{1/2} \)) is independent of the initial concentration and is given by: \[ t_{1/2} = \frac{.693}{k} \] 1. **Use the slope from Part A to find \( k \).** 2. **Calculate the half-life using the formula above.** ### Final Answer - **First-Order Reaction:** Confirmed by the linear plot of \(\ln[\text{CH}_3\text{I}]\) vs. \( t \). - **Rate Constant \( k \):** Calculated from the slope of the line. - **Half-Life \( t_{1/2} \):** \(\frac{.693}{k}\) This approach confirms the reaction order and calculates the half-life under the given conditions.
