In 42 hrs, 4.32 g of argon-35 decay to leave only 0.54 g. What is the half-life of argon-

35?

o 21 hrs

O 7 hrs

O 84 hrs

14 hrs

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

14 hrs.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Time (t) = 42 hrs

Original amount (N₀) = 4.32 g

Amount remaining (N) = 0.54 g

Half-life (t½) =…?

Next, we shall determine number of half-lives required for 4.32 g of the isotope to decay to 0.54 g. This can be obtained as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 4.32 g

Amount remaining (N) = 0.54 g

Number of half-lives (n) =?

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

0.54 = 1/2ⁿ × 4.32

Cross multiply

0.54 × 2ⁿ = 4.32

Divide both side by 0.54

2ⁿ = 4.32 / 0.54

2ⁿ = 8

Express 8 in index form with 2 as the base

2ⁿ = 2³

n = 3

Thus, it took 3 half lives for 4.32 g of the isotope to decay to 0.54 g.

Finally, we shall determine the half-life of the isotope. This can be obtained as follow:

Time (t) = 42 h

Number of half-lives (n) = 3

Half-life (t½) =

n × t½ = t

3 × t½ = 42

Divide both side by 3

t½ = 42 / 3

t½ = 14 hrs

Thus, the half-life of the isotope is 14 hrs

H2(g)+p4(s)ph3(g) what the answer ?

Answers

Answer:

6H2 + P4→ 4PH3

Explanation:

Phosphorus has 4 in it and hydrogen has 3 in it. in order to balance it, we have to put 4 in front of phosphine so that the phosphorus on the product side has an equal amount as to the one on the reactant side.

the only one left to balance is hydrogen and so in order to balance it we put a 6 on h2 because the hydrogen in the product size becomes 12 (4 * 3).

therefore the hydrogen on the reactant side becomes 12 as well (6 * 2)

The balanced chemical reaction is:

                      [tex]6H_2(g)+P_4(s)\rightarrow 4PH_3(g)[/tex]

Explanation:

In a balanced chemical equation number of atoms of all the elements are equal on the reactant side and product side.The given equation of the chemical reaction is not balanced.

                       [tex]H_2(g)+P_4(s)\rightarrow PH_3(g)[/tex]

Balancing the chemical reaction:

Balance the atoms of all the elements besides hydrogen and oxygen. Balance phosphorus atoms by writing 4 in front of phosphine gas on the product side.

                         [tex]H_2(g)+P_4(s)\rightarrow 4PH_3(g)[/tex]

Now balance the hydrogen atoms. There are 12 hydrogen atoms on the product side and 2 hydrogen atoms on the reactant side. So by writing 6 in front of hydrogen gas on the reactant side.

                        [tex]6H_2(g)+P_4(s)\rightarrow 4PH_3(g)[/tex]

So, the balanced chemical reaction is:

                        [tex]6H_2(g)+P_4(s)\rightarrow 4PH_3(g)[/tex]

How many moles of magnesium chloride are produced when 4.39 moles of magnesium are placed in a beaker

containing only 250.0 grams of hydrochloric acid?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]n_{MgCl_2}=3.43mol MgCl_2[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid is:

[tex]Mg+2HCl\rightarrow MgCl_2+H_2[/tex]

Whereas there is a 1:1 and 1:2 mole ratio between magnesium and magnesium chloride and hydrochloric acid and magnesium chloride respectively; it is possible to compute the yielded moles of product by each reactant and then determine which moles are correct based on the limiting reactant; therefore, we proceed as follows:

[tex]n_{MgCl_2}^{by\ Mg}=4.39molMg*\frac{1molMgCl_2}{1molMg} =4.39molMgCl_2\\\\n_{MgCl_2}^{by\ HCl}=250.0gHCl*\frac{1molHCl}{36.46gHCl}*\frac{1molMgCl_2}{2molHCl}=3.43mol MgCl_2[/tex]

Thus, since the hydrochloric acid yields the fewest moles of product, we infer it is the limiting reactant, so the correct number moles of magnesium chloride are 3.43 mol.

Describe how the weight of an objects influences that objects shape or design to support that weight.

(Hint: We described the legs of different sized animals. We also described the architecture of ancient buildings like the pyramids)

Answers

Answer:

The weight of the objects has a name and is "Specific weight", this is measured in several measurements but the best known is the kg.

If we relate the density of the object with the weight we will obtain a deduction of the shape of the object.

Explanation:

The object can be more or less heavy according to its density and its chemical composition.The weight is nothing more than the attraction of that object with the interior of the earth, that is why in order to know well how heavy it is, it is necessary relate the density of the object, the material that composes it, the speed of gravity (10m / s2).

This refers to the fact that a kilo of feather is not the same as a kilo of lead, each object obtains its shape according to the more weight it has and the more attraction it can make to the center of the earth.

Answers

Answer:

Butanoic Acid:

I have attached the structure of Butanoic Acid. Please refer to the attachment.

Explanation:

Solution:

First of all, we need to calculate the double bond equivalent (DBE) for the compound given:

Compound = C4H8O2

DBE = (C +1) - (H + X - N)/2

C = no. of carbons

H = no. of Hydrogen

X = no. of Halogens

N = no. of Nitrogen

DBE = (4+1) - (8/2)

DBE = 5-4

DBE = 1

It indicates the presence of 1 double bond in the possible structure.

Further structure can be identified by looking the peak values of the spectrum. So, we have,

2500 - 3300 = it indicates the presence of -COOH group

1720 = it indicates the (C=0) stretching  

1200 = It indicates the (C-O) stretching

SO, the possible structure is

In another experiment, a 0.150 M BF4^-(aq) solution is prepared by dissolving NaBF4(s) in distilled water. The BF4^-(aq) ions in the solution slowly react with H2O(l) in the reversible reaction represented below.

BF4-(aq) +H20(l) → BF3OH-(aq) + HF(aq)

[HF] reaches a constant value of 0.0174 M when the reaction reaches equilibrium. For the forward reaction, the rate law is rate = kf [BF4-]. The value of the rate constant kf was experimentally determined to be 9.00x10-4 min-1.

Required:
a. Calculate the rate of the forward reaction after 600 minutes.
b. A student claims that the initial rate of the reverse reaction is equal to zero. Do you agree or disagree with this claim?

Answers

Answer:

A) Forward rate = 1.1934 × 10^(-4) M/min

B) I disagree with the claim

Explanation:

A) We are told that [HF] reaches a constant value of 0.0174 M at equilibrium.

The reversible reaction given to us is;

BF4-(aq) +H20(l) → BF3OH-(aq) + HF(aq)

From this, we can see that the stoichiometric ratio is 1:1:1:1

Thus, concentration of [BF4-] is now;

[BF4-] = 0.150 - 0.0174

[BF4-] = 0.1326 M

From the rate law, we are told the forward rate is kf [BF4-].

We are given Kf = 9.00 × 10^(-4) /min

Thus;

Forward rate = 9.00 × 10^(-4) /min × (0.1326M)

Forward rate = 1.1934 × 10^(-4) M/min

(B) The student claims that the initial rate of the reverse reaction is equal to zero can't be true because at equilibrium, rates for the forward and reverse reactions are usually equal.

Thus, I disagree with the claim.

Each hydrogen atom has one valence electron, but it needs two electrons to be stable. How can both hydrogen atoms each achieve a stable configuration

Answers

Answer:Through Covalent Bonding

Explanation:

Both Hydrogen can achieve a stable configuration with 2 electrons by each sharing their electrons.

The name of this bonding is called covalent bonding. In this type of bonding, each participating entity (in this case, the hydrogen atoms) donates their valence electrons (the one valence electron in the hydrogen atoms) then share the total electrons (1 + 1 = 2).

Consider five solutions that all have the same mass of solute in 100.0 mL of solution. Which has the highest concentration as measured in molarity

Answers

Answer:

d

Explanation:

a. KCl

b. NaCl

c. Na2SO4

d. NaF

e. CaCl2

The molarity of a solution is a measure of the number of moles of solutes per volume (in liters) of the solution.

The number of moles of a solute depends largely on the mass and the molar mass of the solute. Hence,

mole = mass/molar mass

Equal amounts of KCl, NaCl, Na2SO4, NaF, and CaCl2 would have a different number of moles due to a difference in their molar mass. The higher the molar mass, the lower the number of moles, and vice versa.

The molar mass (in g/mole) of each of the solute compounds is as follows

KCl - 74.55

NaCl - 58.44

Na2SO4 - 142.04

NaF - 41.99

CaCl2 - 110.98

NaF has the lowest molar mass and, hence, would have the highest number of moles. This means that when an equal amount of the substances above is dissolved in the same amount of water, NaF would have the highest molarity.
