If 12.5 grams of the original sample of cesium-137 remained after 90.6 years, what was the mass of the original sample?

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Mass of original sample = 100 g

Explanation:

Half life of cesium-137 = 30.17 years

$t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}$

Where, k is rate constant

So,

$k=\frac{\ln2}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac{\ln2}{30.17}\ year^{-1}$

The rate constant, k = 0.02297 year⁻¹

Time = 90.6 years

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

$[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}$

Where,

$[A_t]$ is the concentration at time t

$[A_0]$ is the initial concentration

Initial concentration $[A_0]$ = ?

Final concentration $[A_t]$ = 12.5 grams

Applying in the above equation, we get that:-

$12.5\ g=[A_0]e^{-0.02297\times 90.6}$

$[A_0]=\frac{12.5}{e^{-0.02297\times 90.6}}\ g=100\ g$

<u>Mass of original sample = 100 g</u>

Write a balanced net ionic equation for the following reaction: SrCl2(aq) + H2CO3(aq) → SrCO3(s) + HCl (aq)

max2010maxim [7]

We will balance the equation in the following order: metals, amethals, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (the most common order).
The metal present in the equation is Sr, which is already balanced (there are 1 on each side of the equation).
The amethal present in the equation is Cl. There is 2 Cl in the left side and only one in the right side. So, we will multiply the quantity of the molecule that contains Cl by 2. Doing this, we'll obtain:

$SrCl_2_{(aq)}+H_2CO_3_{(aq)}\to SrCO_3_{(s)}+2HCl_{(aq)}$

Looking at the equation, we can see that it is now fully balanced. Hence, a balanced equation of the reaction is:

$SrCl_2_{(aq)}+H_2CO_3_{(aq)}\to SrCO_3_{(s)}+2HCl_{(aq)}$

Relate the intermolecular forces in hydrocarbons to their physical properties and uses

DENIUS [597]

The physical properties of alkenes and alkynes are generally similar to those of alkanes or cycloalkanes with equal numbers of carbon atoms. Alkynes have higher boiling points than alkanes or alkenes, because the electric field of an alkyne, with its increased number of weakly held π electrons, is more easily distorted, producing stronger attractive forces between molecules.

If a mass of a cube were 48.0g and its volume 24.0 cm3 what would its density be

EastWind [94]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2 g/cm³</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\$

From the question

mass = 48 g

volume = 24 cm³

We have

$density = \frac{48}{24} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
