Base your answer on the information below. The radioisotope uranium-238 occurs naturally in Earth's crust. The disintegration of this radioisotope is the first in a series of spontaneous decays. The sixth decay in this series produces the radioisotope radon-222. The decay of radon-222 produces the radioisotope polonium-218 that has a half- life of 3.04 minutes. Eventually, the stable isotope lead-206 is produced by the alpha decay of an unstable nuclide. Determine the original mass of a sample of Po-218, if 1.50 milligram of the sample remains unchanged after 9.12 minutes

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

12 mmilligrams of Po-218 was the mass of the original starting material

Explanation:

The half-life of a radioactive material is the time taken for half the amount ofnthe original material present in a radioactive material to decay or disintegrate.

After each half-life, half the original material present at the start remains.

For the radioactive polonium-218 having a half-life of 3.04 minutes, it means that if 1 g is the starting material, after 3.04 minutes, 1/2 g will be remaining; after, 6.08 minutes 1/2 of 1/2 which is 1/4 of the starting material will be remaining; and after 9.12 minutes, 1/2 of 1/4 = 1/8 g will be remaining.

From the question, number of half-lives undergone after 9.12 minutes = 9.12/3.04 = 3 half-lives.

After 3 half-lives, 1/8 of the original material is remaining.

1/8 = 1.50 mg

The original mass of the sample at the start = 1.50 mg × 8 = 12 mg

Therefore, 12 milligrams of Po-218 was the mass of the original starting material.

barium sulfate are formed, respectively?

Answers

Answer:

0.072 moles, 16.776g.

Explanation:

The reaction of Na2SO4 and BaCl2 occurs as follows:

Na2SO4(aq) + BaCl2(aq) → BaSO4(s) + 2NaCl(aq)

To solve this question we must find the moles of each reactant. As the reaction is 1:1, the reactant with the low number of moles is limiting reactant. The moles of limiting reactant = Moles BaSO4. The mass can be obtained with the molar mass of BaSO4 -233.38g/mol-

Moles Na2SO4:

500cm³ = 0.500L * (0.250mol / L) = 0.125 moles

Moles BaCl2 -Molar mass: 208.23g/mol-

15.00g * (1mol / 208.23g) = 0.072 moles

The moles of BaSO4 are 0.072 moles and its mass is:

0.072 moles * (233.38g / mol) = 16.8g ≈ 16.776g

The solubility of a gas is 2.0 g/L at 50.0 kPa of pres-

of 10.0 kPa?
our of

Answers

Answer:

That means, under 10.0kPa of pressure, 0.4g of gas can be dissolved in 1L

Explanation:

Based on Henry's law, the solubility of the gas is directly proportional to the pressure. The equation is:

P1S2 = P2S1

Where P is pressure and S solubility of 1, initial state and 2, final state of the gas.

Replacing:

P1 = 50.0kPa

S1 = 2.0g/L

P2 = 10.0kPa

S2 = ??

50.0kPa*S2 = 10.0kPa*2.0g/L

S2 = 0.4g/L

That means, under 10.0kPa of pressure, 0.4g of gas can be dissolved in 1L

Answer: 0.4 g/L

Explanation:

S2 = S1 x P2 / P1

S2= 2 g/L x 10 kPa / 50 kPa

CROSS OUT

S2= 2g/L x 10 / 50

S2= 20 g/L/50

S2= .4 g/L

Explanation:

Correct question

An oxide of nitrogen contain its own volume of nitrogen

its vapour dentity is 23. Find the molecular formula

Of nitrogen Oxide

Solution

As we know

Molecular Weight  is equal to two times the  vapour density

Hence, the molecular weight of Oxide of nitrogen is 2 * 22 = 44

Molecular weight of Oxide of nitrogen  is the sum of atomic weight of nitrogen and oxygen

Molecular weight of Oxide of nitrogen = 14 + 16 *Y

14 + 16 *Y  = 46

Y = 2

Hence, the formula is NO2

what are the possible values of ml for l=2

Answers

Answer:

-2, -1, 0, 1, 2

Explanation:

There are four types of quantum numbers;

1) Principal quantum number (n)

2) Azimuthal quantum number (l)

3) magnetic quantum number (ml)

4) Spin quantum number (s)

The azimuthal quantum number (l) describes the orbital angular momentum and shape of an orbital while the magnetic quantum number shows the projections of the orbital angular momentum along a specified axis.  This implies that the magnetic quantum number shows the orientation of various orbitals along the Cartesian axes. The values of the magnetic quantum  number ranges from -l to + l

For l= 2, the possible values of the magnetic quantum number are; -2, -1, 0, 1, 2

What is the molarity of a solution containing 9.0 moles of solute in 462 mL of solution

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 19 \ M}}[/tex]

Explanation:

Molarity is a measure of concentration in moles per liter, so the formula is:

[tex]molarity= \frac{moles \ of \ solute}{liters \ of \ solution}}[/tex]

This solution has 9.0 moles of solute and 462 milliliters of solution. We must convert milliliters to liters. Remember that 1 liter contains 1000 milliliters.

Create a ratio.

[tex]\frac{ 1 \ L}{ 1000 \ mL}[/tex]

Multiply by the value we are converting: 462 milliliters

[tex]462 \ mL *\frac{ 1 \ L}{ 1000 \ mL}[/tex][tex]462 *\frac{ 1 \ L}{ 1000}[/tex]

[tex]0.462 \ L[/tex]

Now we know both values and we can solve for the molarity.

moles of solute= 9.0 moles liters of solution = 0.462 L

[tex]molarity= \frac{9.0 \ mol}{ 0.462 \ L}[/tex]

Divide.

[tex]molarity= 19.4805195 \ mol/L[/tex]

The original measurements of moles and milliliters have 2 and 3 significant figures respectively. We have to round our answer to the least number of sig figs, which is 2 in this case.

For the number we found, that is the ones place. The 4 in the tenths place (19.4805195) tells us to leave the 9 in the ones place.

[tex]molarity= 19 \ mol/L[/tex]

1 mole per liter is equal to 1 molar or M, so our answer is equal to 19 M.

[tex]molarity \approx 19 \ M[/tex]

The molarity of the solution is approximately 19 M.

For example, in case of a light bulb, the electric energy is converted into the light and heat energy.

When a battery operated robot with glowing eyes moving on the floor, the chemical energy of the battery is converted into the light energy and the kinetic energy so the law of conservation of energy holds good.

Answer:

It is greater than -600kJ/mol and the amount of energy required to break bonds is greater than the amount of energy released in forming bonds.

Explanation:

In an endothermic reaction, the reaction requires a determined amount of energy to occurs.

The reaction of the problem has H = -600kJ/mol. The reaction is endothermic and the energy that the reaction needs is absorbed by the reactants. That means, the energy of products:

Is greater than -600kJ/mol and the amount of energy required to break bonds is greater than the amount of energy released in forming bonds.

Answers

Answer:

127 g of Ag are made in the reaction.

Explanation:

Reaction is:  2 AgNO₃ + Cu → Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2 Ag

If we only have data from nitrate, we assume the Cu is in excess.

We determine the moles of silver nitrate:

Mass / Molar mass → 200 g / 169.87 g/mol = 1.18 moles

Ratio is 2:2. If 2 moles of silver nitrate produce 2 moles of Ag, then

1.18 moles of salt, will produce 1.18 moles of silver

We convert mass to moles:

1.18 mol . 107.87 g/mol = 127 g
