Half-life is a time in which the concentration of the substance gets reduced to 50% of the initial concentration. The number of tritium that will be left after 51 years is 0.624 kg.

<h3>What is an isotope?</h3>

Isotopes are chemical substances that have the same atomic number but different atomic mass because they have a different number of neutrons in the nuclei.

The half-life of the isotope, tritium is 12.3 years. Assuming we have 11 kg of substance and a number of years 51 years.

11 \times 2 ^{\frac{-51}{12.3}} = 0.6239 \;\rm kg

Therefore, the number of tritium that will be left after 51 years is 0.624 kg.

1. Unas de las formas de producir nitrógeno gaseoso (N2) es mediante la oxidación de metilamina (CH3NH2), tal como se muestra en
Maslowich

Answer:

a) 4CH₃NH₂ + 9O₂ ⇄  4CO₂ + 10H₂O + 2N₂    

b) m = 5,043 g

c) % = 69,4 %

Explanation:

a) La ecuación balanceada es la siguiente:

4CH₃NH₂ + 9O₂ ⇄  4CO₂ + 10H₂O + 2N₂              

En el balanceo, se tiene en la relación estequiométrica que 4 moles de metilamina reacciona con 9 moles de oxígeno para producir 4 moles de dióxido de carbono, 10 moles de agua y 2 moles de nitrógeno.  

b) Para determinar la masa de nitrógeno se debe calcular primero el reactivo limitante:

n_{O_{2}} = \frac{m}{M} = \frac{25,6 g}{31,99 g/mol} = 0,800 moles      

n_{CH_{3}NH_{2}} = \frac{4}{9}*0,800 moles = 0,356 moles

De la ecuación anterior se tiene que la cantidad de moles de metilamina necesaria para reaccionar con 0,800 moles de oxígeno es 0,356 moles, y la cantidad de moles iniciales de metilamina es 0,5 moles, por lo tanto el reactivo limitante es el oxígeno.

Ahora, podemos calcular la masa de nitrógeno producida:

n_{N_{2}} = \frac{2}{9}*n_{O_{2}} = \frac{2}{9}*0,8 moles = 0,18 moles

m_{N_{2}} = n_{N_{2}}*M = 0,18 moles*28,014 g/mol = 5,043 g

Por lo tanto, se pueden producir 5,043 g de nitrógeno.

c) El redimiento de la reacción se puede calcular usando la siguiente fórmula:

\% = \frac{R_{r}}{R_{T}}*100

<u>Donde</u>:

R_{r}: es el rendimiento real

R_{T}: es el rendimiento teórico

\% = \frac{3,5}{5,043}*100 = 69,4

Entonces, el procentaje de rendimiento de la reacción es 69,4%.

Choose the appropriate electron configuration for an element whose third shell contains six electrons.​
slamgirl [31]

For an element whose third shell contains six electrons, the appropriate electron configuration is; 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4.

The electron configuration shows the distribution of electrons in the shells of an atom and in orbitals.

We have been told that the six electrons are found in the third shell. This shell has n=3 and the configuration of this shell must ns2 np4.

The only electron configuration that meets this standard is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4.

Catalytic converters made of palladium (pd) reduce automobile pollution by catalyzing the reaction between unburned hydrocarbons
Doss [256]
Unburned hydrocarbon on reacting with oxygen undergoes combustion reaction. However, the activation energy of this reaction is significantly high. When a catalyst like Pd is added to the reaction system, it provides active sites for the reaction to occur. It acts are a heterogeneous catalyst. It is pertinent of note that catalyst is refereed as heterogeneous, when it exist in different phase as compared to reactant and products. In present case, reactants and products are in gas phase, while catalyst is in solid phase. Due to availability of larger surface area at active site of Pd, activation energy of reaction decreases and decrease in activation energy favors higher reaction rates.
