You can aso use this equation for first order:

You can also just use [A]=[A]initial * e^-kt, which is just a simplified verision of the ln[A]=-kt+ln[A]initial equation

How do you calculate the time it takes for something to get to 15% of its initial concetration and 1/9th of its initial condition if you are given only its half life?

Re: equilbrium = reversible

All reactions at equillibrium are reversible as the nature of equilibirums (flow in both directions) requires the reaction to be reversible.

Re: ΔS(universe)

Delta S can only be zero in an equilibrium, one way to think about that could be that disorder and order are equal. Likewise, entropy in the universe is always increasing.

Re: Spontaneous

Just to add on, spontaneity refers to the fact that the reaction is favored to occur. An example of this concept would be a boulder on a hill, as it would likely roll down the hill.

Re: Ch 8 #53 Part b

The reason it is negative is because the temperature raises, meaning that the reaction had to release energy. The reason it is just q=C*deltaT is because it is the equation for the calorimeter, which does not include mass.

Re: Reversible Processes

A reversible process is one where you can go backwards in the process at any time without increasing entropy. This can only happen during an equilibrium.

Work and heat are two different forms of energy transfer. Work is the mechanical transfer of energy while heat is the thermal.
