The mass of plutonium that will remain after 1000 years if the initial amount is 5 g when the half life of plutonium-239 (239pu, pu-239) is 24,100 years is 2.5 g

The equation is Mr=Mi(1/2)^n

where n is the number of half-lives

Mr is the mass remaining after n half lives

Mi is the initial mass of the sample

To find n, the number of half-lives, divide the total time 1000 by the time of the half-life(24,100)

n=1000/24100=0.0414

So Mr=5x(1/2)^1=2.5 g

The mass remaining is 2.5 g

  • The half life is the time in which the concentration of a substance decreases to half of the initial value.

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

12.09 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Convert 826.1 mmHg to atm

We will use the conversion factor 760 mmHg = 1 atm.

826.1 mmHg × 1 atm/760 mmHg = 1.087 atm

Step 2: Convert 427.8 J to L.atm

We will use the conversion factor 101.3 J = 1 L.atm.

427.8 J × 1 L.atm/101.3 J = 4.223 L.atm

Step 3: Calculate the change in the volume

Assuming the work done (w) is 4.223 L.atm against a pressure (P) of 1.087 atm, the change in the volume is:

w = P × ΔV

ΔV = w/P

ΔV = 4.223 L.atm/1.087 atm = 3.885 L

Step 4: Calculate the final volume

V₂ = V₁ + ΔV

V₂ = 8.20 L + 3.885 L = 12.09 L

g Ammonium nitrate was the oxidizing agent used that damaged the New York World Trade Center in 1993 and the Federal Building in
Cloud [144]

Answer:  51.3\times 10^3 kJ

Explanation:

The thermochemical equation for decomposition of ammonium nitrate is:

NH_4NO_3(s)\rightarrow N_2O(g)+2H_2O(g)   \Delta H=-82.1kJ

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass= 50.0 kg =50.0\times 10^3g   (1kg=1000g)

\text{Number of moles of ammonium nitrate}=\frac{50.0\times 10^3g}{80g/mol}=0.625\times 10^3moles

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of NH_4NO_3 gives = 82.1 kJ of heat

Thus 0.625\times 10^3moles of NH_4NO_3 give =\frac{82.1}{1}\times 0.625\times 10^3=51.3\times 10^3  kJ of heat

Thus 51.3\times 10^3 kJ of heat is evolved from the decomposition of 50.0 kg of ammonium nitrate.
