Answer : A= 0.5, B = 0.25 , C = 0.125, D = 0.015625 and E = 0.00390625

Explanation :

Half life of a substance is defined as the amount of time taken by the substance to reduce to half of its original amount.

Here n represents the number of half lives.

The amount of substance that remains after n half lives can be calculated using the given formula, $0.5^{n}$

So when we have n =1,

Fraction of substance that remains = 0.5¹ = 0.5.

That means after first half life over, the amount of substance that remains is 0.5 times that of original.

Therefore we have A = 0.5

When n = 2, we have 0.5² = 0.25

So when 2 half lives are over, the amount of substance that remains is 0.25 times that of original

Therefore B = 0.25

When n = 3, we have 0.5³ = 0.125

So when 3 half lives are over, the amount of substance that remains is 0.125 times that of original.

Therefore we have C = 0.125

When n = 6 , we have 0.5⁶ = 0.015625

So D = 0.015625

When n = 8, we have 0.5⁸ = 0.00390625

Therefore E = 0.00390625

The values for A, B, C, D and E are 0.5, 0.25, 0.125, 0.015625 and 0.00390625 respectively.

What mass of solid NaOH (97.0 % by mass) is required to prepare 1.00 L of a 10.0% solution of NaOH by mass? The density of the 1

Lelechka [254]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of 97 % of NaOH solution required is 114.33 g

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate mass of a substance, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

We are given:

Density of 10 % solution = 1.109 g/mL

Volume of 10% solution = 1 L = 1000 mL (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.109g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of }10\%\text{ solution}}{1000mL}\\\\\text{Mass of }10\%\text{ solution}=1109g$

The mass of 10 % solution is 1109 g.

To calculate the mass of concentrated solution, we use the equation:

$c_1m_1=c_2m_2$

where,

$c_1\text{ and }m_1$ are the concentration and mass of concentrated solution.

$c_2\text{ and }m_2$ are the concentration and mass of diluted solution.

We are given:

$c_1=97\%\\m_1=?g\\c_2=10\%\\m_2=1109g$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$97\times m_1=10\times 1109\\\\m_1=114.33g$

Hence, the mass of 97 % of NaOH solution required is 114.33 g

ethylene glycol used in automobile antifreeze and in the production of polyester. The name glycol stems from the sweet taste of

Luden [163]

<u>Answer:</u> The empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $CH_3O$ and $C_4H_{12}O_4$

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=9.06g$

Mass of $H_2O=5.58g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

<u>For calculating the mass of carbon:</u>

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 9.06 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 9.06=2.47g$ of carbon will be contained.

<u>For calculating the mass of hydrogen:</u>

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 5.58 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 5.58=0.62g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (6.38) - (2.47 + 0.62) = 3.29 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

<u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{2.47g}{12g/mole}=0.206moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.62g}{1g/mole}=0.62moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{3.29g}{16g/mole}=0.206moles$

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.206 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.206}{0.206}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.62}{0.206}=3$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.206}{0.206}=1$

<u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 1 : 3 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_1H_{3}O_1=CH_3O$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 124 amu = 124 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 31 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{124g/mol}{31g/mol}=4$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(1\times 4)}H_{(3\times 4)}O_{(1\times 4)}=C_4H_{12}O_4$

Thus, the empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $CH_3O$ and $C_4H_{12}O_4$

what is 31/50000 If the toxic quantity is 1.5 g of ethylene glycol per 1000 g of body mass, what percentage of ethylene glycol i

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

$\%m=0.15\%$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we are asked to compute the by mass percent representing the toxicity of ethylene glycol in the body mass. In such a way, since the by mass percent is computed with the shown below formula:

$\%m=\frac{m_{ethylene \ glycol}}{m_{ethylene \ glycol}+m_{body\ mass}}*100\%$

We can use the given masses to obtain:

$\%m=\frac{1.5g}{1.5g+1000g}*100\%\\ \\\%m=0.15\%$

Best regards.

What is the fraction of the hydrogen atom's mass (11h) that is in the nucleus? the mass of proton is 1.007276 u, and the mass of

ololo11 [35]

Hello there!

To determine the fraction of the hydrogen atom's mass that is in the nucleus, we have to keep in mind that a Hydrogen atom has 1 proton and 1 electron. Protons are in the nucleus while electrons are in electron shells surrounding the nucleus. The mass of the nucleus will be equal to the mass of 1 proton and we can express the fraction as follows:

$Mass Fraction= \frac{mass 1 Proton}{mass H atom} = \frac{1,007276 u}{1,007825}=0,9995$

So, the fraction of the hydrogen atom's mass that is in the nucleus is 0,9995. That means that almost all the mass of this atom is at the nucleus.

Have a nice day!
