The specific activity (in Ci/g) if 1.65 mg of an isotope emits 1.56X10⁶α a particles per second.

<h3>What is isotope?</h3>

Isotopes are two or more types of atoms with the same atomic number (number of protons in their nuclei) and periodic table position (and so belong to the same chemical element), but distinct nucleon numbers due to differing numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. While all isotopes of a given element have nearly identical chemical properties, their atomic weights and physical properties differ.

The term isotope is derived from the Greek roots isos and topos, which means that different isotopes of the same element occupy the same position on the periodic table. Margaret Todd, a Scottish doctor and writer, coined the phrase in 1913 as a recommendation to British chemist Frederick Soddy.

A) C2H6O1

To find the emperical formula, divide each mole value by the smallest

For carbon, 0.013/0.0065 = 2

For hydrogen, 0.038/0.0065= 6

For oxygen, 0.0065/0.0065= 1

The vapor pressure of diethyl ether (ether) is 463.57 mm Hg at 25 °C. A nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte that dissolves in diethyl et

Alexxx [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The vapor pressure of solution is 459.17 mmHg

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

<u>For testosterone:</u>

Given mass of testosterone = 7.752 g

Molar mass of testosterone = 288.4 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of testosterone}=\frac{7.752g}{288.4g/mol}=0.027mol$

<u>For diethyl ether:</u>

Given mass of diethyl ether = 208.0 g

Molar mass of diethyl ether = 74.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of diethyl ether}=\frac{208.0g}{74.12g/mol}=2.81mol$

Mole fraction of a substance is calculated by using the equation:

$\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$

$\chi_{\text{testosterone}}=\frac{n_{\text{testosterone}}}{n_{\text{testosterone}}+n_{\text{diethyl ether}}}$

$\chi_{\text{testosterone}}=\frac{0.027}{0.027+2.81}\\\\\chi_{\text{testosterone}}=0.0095$

The formula for relative lowering of vapor pressure will be:

$\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=i\times \chi_{\text{solute}}$

where,

$p^o$ = vapor pressure of solvent (diethyl ether) = 463.57 mmHg

$p^s$ = vapor pressure of the solution = ?

i = Van't Hoff factor = 1 (for non electrolytes)

$\chi_{\text{solute}}$ = mole fraction of solute (testosterone) = 0.0095

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{463.57-p^s}{463.57}=1\times 0.0095\\\\p^s=459.17mmHg$

Hence, the vapor pressure of solution is 459.17 mmHg

A 1-L soda bottle contains dissolved carbon dioxide gas. Which bottle would have the highest concentration of dissolved gas?

yanalaym [24]

The sealed bottle would have the highest concentration of Carbon Dioxide because the pressure is highest and there was no time for diffusion.

How many joules are needed to melt 50 g of ice at 0°C?

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

You need the Delta H fusion for water. Multiply that by 50 grams. Then multiply 50 g x 4.184 x 65 to get joules to raise water to 65 degrees. Add these values together to get total joules.
