Consider a 100-gram sample of radioactive cobalt-60.

Chemistry
1 answer:
svetlana [45]2 years ago
7 0

It will take 5.2 years to decay.

The half life of cobalt-60 is 5.2 years. The half life is the time taken for the mass of the substance to decrease by a half.

here, the amount of remaining substance is 50%,

so, (\frac{1}{2} )^{n} = 0.5

n. log (0.5) = log (0.5)

n = 1

So it would take 1 half lives to decay this much, which is 1 x 5.2 which is 5.2 years.

what do you mean by radioactive decay ?

The process through which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy via radiation is known as radioactive decay, also known as nuclear decay, radioactivity, radioactive disintegration, or nuclear disintegration. A material that has unstable nuclei is considered as radioactive.

A common laboratory reaction is the neutralization of an acid with a base. When 31.8 mL of 0.500 M HCl at 25.0°C is added to 68.
lord [1]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "90.6 kJ/mol".

Explanation:

The total reactant solution will be:

(31.8 \ mL+68.9 \ mL)\times 1.07\ g/mL = 107.74 \ g

The produced energy will be:

=4.18 \ J/(gK)\times 107.74 \ g\times (28.2-25.0)K

=450.35\times 3.2

=1441.12 \ J

The reaction will be:

⇒  HCl+NaOH \rightarrow NaCl+H_{2}O

Going to look at just the amounts of reactions with the same concentrations, we notice that they're really comparable.  

Therefore, the moles generated by NaCl will indeed be:

=  (\frac{31.8}{1000} \ L)\times (0.500 \ M \ HCl/L)\times \frac{1 \ mol \ NaCl}{1 \ mol \ HCl}

=  0.0318\times 0.500

=  0.0159 \ mole  \ of \ NaCl

Now,

=  \frac{1441.12 \ J}{0.0159 \ moles \ NaCl}

=  906364.7

=  90.6 \ KJ/mol \ NaCl

What is the result in the double displacement reaction of hydrochloric acid and
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Lithium chloride (LiCl), carbon dioxide, and water

Explanation:

Li₂CO₃ + HCl ⇒ LiCl + CO₂ + H₂O

When lithium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid, lithium chloride, water, and bubbles of carbon dioxide gas are given off. This is the result of a double displacement reaction followed by a decomposition reaction.

Hope that helps.

g What is the molarity of hydrochloric acid if 40.95 mL of HCl is required to neutralize 0.550 g of sodium oxalate, Na2C2O4
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

0.0002 M

Explanation:

<em>The molarity of the HCl required would be 0.0002 M.</em>

First, let us consider the balanced equation of the reaction:

Na_2C_2O_4 + 2HCl = 2NaCl + H_2 + 2CO_2

<em>Stoichiometrically, 1 mole of </em>Na_2C_2O_4<em> reacts with 2 moles of </em>HCl<em> for a complete neutralization reaction.</em>

Recall that: mole = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

Mole of 0.550 g sodium oxalate = 0.550/134 = 0.0041 mole

<em>If 1 mole </em>Na_2C_2O_4<em> requires 2 moles HCl, then 0.0041 mole will require</em>:

    0.0041 x 2 = 0.0082 mole HCl

Volume of the HCl = 40.95 L

Molarity = mole/volume

Hence, molarity of the HCl = 0.0082/40.95 = 0.0002 M

Why doesn't Magnesium react with Magnesium Nitrate?
lesya [120]
When a metal reacts with a salt, it displaces the metal present in the salt only if the metal has higher relative reactivity.
in this case , the displacing metal is same as the metal present in salt. both (being same metal)have same relative reactivity. hence, no displacement . NO reaction.
