Answer : The time passed by the sample is, 1.2\times 10^2\text{ min}

Explanation :

Half-life = 30.0 min

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac{0.693}{30.0\text{ min}}

k=0.0231\text{ min}^{-1}

Now we have to calculate the time passed.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 0.0231\text{ min}^{-1}

t = time passed by the sample  = ?

a = initial amount of the reactant  = 4.5 mg

a - x = amount left after decay process =0.25 mg

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

t=\frac{2.303}{0.0231}\log\frac{4.5}{0.25}

t=125.15\text{ min}=1.2\times 10^2\text{ min}

Therefore, the time passed by the sample is, 1.2\times 10^2\text{ min}

Explain why a propane torch is lit inside a hot air balloon during preflight preparations. Which gas law applies?
Olegator [25]

Propane torch is lit inside a hot air balloon during pre-flight preparation because the heat from the touch is needed to heat the cold air inside the balloon, so that the air will expand and become less dense and rise, thus providing a lift for the balloon. This is line with charle's law, which states that, the volume of a fixed mass of ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. This law implies that, as the temperature of the air inside the balloon increase, the volume of the balloon also increases.

The temperature at the boiling point remained constant despite the continued addition of heat by the bunsen burner. What was the
Paul [167]

Concept:

<em><u>Latent Heat of Vaporization</u></em>: It is defined as the amount of heat required to change the state of mater without changing of its temperature.

From the given question, the temperature at the boiling point remained constant despite the continued addition of heat by the Bunsen burner. <em>Actually,</em> this amount of heat is used by water to break the intermolecular bonds between the water molecules in the form of latent heat that converts the liquid state of water into vapor state of water.

Hence, the correct option will be d.<u>The energy was used to break the intermolecular bonds between the water molecules. </u>

How many sodium ions are in the initial 50.00-mL solution of Na2CO3
tresset_1 [31]
From other sources, the given mass of the solute that is being dissolved here is 7.15 g Na2CO3 - 10H2O. We use this amount to convert it to moles of Na2CO3 by converting it to moles using the molar mass then relating the ratio of the unhydrated salt with the number of water molecules. And by the dissociation of the unhydrated salt in the solution, we can calculate the moles of Na+ ions that are present in the solution.

Na2CO3 = 2Na+ + CO3^2-

7.15 g Na2CO3 - 10H2O (1 mol / 402.9319 g) (1 mol Na2CO3 / 1 mol Na2CO3 - 10H2O) ( 1 mol Na2CO3 / 1 mol Na2CO3-10H2O ) ( 2 mol Na+ / 1 mol Na2CO3) = 0.04 mol Na+ ions present
