Answer:

Half-life = 28.8 years

Explanation:

The radioactive decay of an atom follows the equation:

Ln[A] = -kt + ln[A]₀

<em>Where [A] is actual amount of isotope after time t; k is decay constant and [A]₀ initial amount of isotope</em>

Solving for k:

Ln[0.393g] = -k*10yrs + ln[0.500]

-0.2408 = -k*10yrs

0.02408yrs⁻¹ = k

Half-life, is:

Half-life = ln 2 / k

Half-life = ln 2 / 0.02408yrs⁻¹

Half-life = 28.8 years

Determine the number of moles in 4.21 x 10^23 molecules of CaCl2
Paha777 [63]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

0.699 mole CaCl₂

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

To get the number of moles we use the Avogadro's number.

Avogadro's number is 6.022 x 10^23.

But, 1 mole of a compound contains  6.022 x 10^23 molecules

In this case;

we are given 4.21 × 10^23 molecules of CaCl₂

Therefore, to get the number of moles

Moles = Number of molecules ÷ Avogadro's constant

          = 4.21 × 10^23 molecules ÷  6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mole

          = 0.699 mole CaCl₂

Hence, the number of moles is 0.699 mole of CaCl₂

If 1.50 μg of co and 6.80 μg of h2 were added to a reaction vessel, and the reaction went to completion, how many gas particles
Vlada [557]
To determine the number of gas particles in the vessel we add all of the components of the gas. For this, we need to convert the mass to moles by the molar mass. Then, from moles to molecules by the avogadro's number.

1.50x10^-6 ( 1 / 28.01) (6.022x10^23) = 3.22x10^16 molecules CO


6.80x10^-6 ( 1 / 2.02) (6.022x10^23) = 2.03x10 18 molecules H2

Totol gas particles = 2.05x10^18 molecules

Only one isotope of this element occurs in nature. one atom of this isotope has a mass of 9.123 ✕ 10-23 g. identify the element
o-na [289]

The atom has only one isotope which means 100 % of same atom is present in nature. The atomic mass of an element is the number of times an atom of that element is heavier than an atom of carbon taken as 12. Mass of one atom of that isotope is 9.123 ✕ 10⁻²³ g, so mass of one mole of atom that is Avogadro's number of atom is 6.023 X 10²³  X 9.123 X 10⁻²³ g=54.94 g = 55 g (approximate).

So, the atom having atomic mass 55 will be Cesium (Cs). Only one isotope of Cesium is stable in nature.

The K w for water at 0 ∘ C is 0.12 × 10 − 14 M 2 . Calculate the pH of a neutral aqueous solution at 0 ∘ C . p H = Is a pH = 7.2
labwork [276]

Answer:

pH → 7.46

Explanation:

We begin with the autoionization of water. This equilibrium reaction is:

2H₂O  ⇄   H₃O⁺  +  OH⁻            Kw = 1×10⁻¹⁴         at 25°C

Kw = [H₃O⁺] . [OH⁻]

We do not consider [H₂O] in the expression for the constant.

[H₃O⁺] = [OH⁻] = √1×10⁻¹⁴   →  1×10⁻⁷ M

Kw depends on the temperature

0.12×10⁻¹⁴ = [H₃O⁺] . [OH⁻]  → [H₃O⁺] = [OH⁻]         at 0°C

√0.12×10⁻¹⁴ = [H₃O⁺] → 3.46×10⁻⁸ M

- log [H₃O⁺] = pH

pH = - log 3.46×10⁻⁸ → 7.46
