From the calculations, the half life of the material is 6.5 days.

<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>

The term radioactivity has to do with the spontaneous disintegration of a specie.

Uisng the formula;

N=Noe^-kt

N= amount at time t = 0.135 Ci or 4.995 ×10^9 Bq

No = amount initially present =  1.75 x 10^12 Bq

k = rate constant = ?

t = time taken = 55 days

Hence;

4.995 ×10^9  = 1.75 x 10^12e^-55k

4.995 ×10^9/1.75 x 10^12 = e^-55k

2.85 * 10^-3 = e^-55k

ln2.85 * 10^-3 = -55k

k = ln2.85 * 10^-3/-55

k = 0.1066 day-1

Half life = 0.693/ 0.1066 day-1

= 6.5 days

Silver is a precious metal. The price of silver fluctuates daily as it is traded on the open market. Look up the current market
Vlad [161]

Answer:

- Current market value of silver produced in the experiment = $0.2763

- Check Explanation for the appearance of leftover copper wire used in the experiment.

Explanation:

Price of Silver on today's market = $15.34 per troy ounce

Amount of Silver produced in the experiment = 0.56 g

31.1 g = 1 troy ounce

0.56 g = (0.56/31.1) = 0.01801 troy ounce

1 troy ounce = $15.34

0.01801 troy ounce = 0.01801 × $15.34 = $0.2763

The original reaction to extract the silver is one between Copper metal and the Silver Nitrate.

The Copper metal dissolves in the Silver Nitrate to give Copper Nitrate thereby displacing the Silver ion to become silver metal which we just valued above. But copper nitrate is a blue solution, So, it is a good estimate to say that the entire solution changed to that blue colour and the appearance of the leftover copper metal is colour blue. The silver metal forms as fractal-like crystals on this leftover copper.

Hope this Helps!!!

What is the volume of 14.0g of nitrogen gas at STP?
lozanna [386]

Answer:

  • <em>The volume of 14.0 g of nitrogen gas at STP is </em><u><em>11.2 liter.</em></u>

Explanation:

STP stands for standard pressure and temperature.

The International Institute of of Pure and Applied Chemistry, IUPAC changed the definition of standard temperature and pressure (STP) in 1982:

  •   Before the change, STP was defined as a temperature of 273.15 K and an absolute pressure of exactly 1 atm (101.325 kPa).

  •    After the change, STP is defined as a temperature of 273.15 K and an absolute pressure of exactly 105 Pa (100 kPa, 1 bar).

Using the ideal gas equation of state, PV = nRT you can calculate the volume of one mole (n = 1)  of gas. With the former definition, the volume of a mol of gas at STP, rounded to 3 significant figures, was 22.4 liter. This is classical well known result.

With the later definition, the volume of a mol of gas at STP is 22.7 liter.

I will use the traditional measure of 22.4 liter per mole of gas.

<u>1) Convert 14.0 g of nitrogen gas to number of moles:</u>

  • n = mass in grams / molar mass
  • Atomic mass of nitrogen: 14.0 g/mol
  • Nitrogen gas is a diatomic molecule, so the molar mass of nitrogen gas = molar mass of N₂ = 14.0 × 2 g/mol = 28.0 g/mol
  • n = 14.0 g / 28.0 g/mol = 0.500 mol

<u>2) Set a proportion to calculate the volume of nitrogen gas:</u>

  • 22.4 liter / mol = x  / 0.500 mol
  • Solve for x: x = 0.500 mol × 22.4 liter / mol = 11.2 liter.

<u>Conclusion:</u> the volume of 14.0 g of nitrogen gas at STP is 11.2 liter.
