Answer : The correct option is, (B) $H_2SO_3,HSO_3^-$

Explanation :

According to the Bronsted Lowry concept, Bronsted Lowry-acid is a substance that donates one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction and Bronsted Lowry-base is a substance that accepts one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction.

Or we can say that, conjugate acid is proton donor and conjugate base is proton acceptor.

The given equilibrium reaction is,

$H_2SO_3(aq)+CN^-\rightleftharpoons HSO_3^-(aq)+HCN(aq)$

Here, $H_2SO_3$ is loosing a proton, thus it is considered as an acid and after losing a proton, it forms $HSO_3^{-}$ which is a conjugate base. That means, $H_2SO_3/HSO_3^-$ are act as a conjugate acid-base pairs.

Hence, correct option is, (B) $H_2SO_3,HSO_3^-$

Answer:

The probability of spinning red with the spinner or rolling an odd number with the die is $\dfrac{1}{8}$

Explanation:

Given that,

Total color in spinner = 4

Let the area of four parts is equal in the spinner.

We need to calculate the probability of spinning red

Using formula of probability

$P(A) = \dfrac{Number\ of\ red\ color\ outcome}{Total\ number\ of\ colors\ in\ the\ spinner}$

Put the value into the formula

$P(A)=\dfrac{1}{4}$

We need to calculate the probability of odd number of the die

Using formula of probability

$P(B) = \dfrac{Number\ of\ odd\ digits\ outcome}{Total\ number\ of\ digits\ in\ the\ die}$

Put the value into the formula

$P(B)=\dfrac{3}{6}$

$P(B)=\dfrac{1}{2}$

We need to calculate the probability of spinning red with the spinner or rolling an odd number with the die

Using formula of probability of two events which is independent

$P(A\ and\ B)=P(A)\times P(B)$

Put the value into the formula

$P(A\ and\ B)=\dfrac{1}{4}\times\dfrac{1}{2}$

$P(A\ and\ B)=\dfrac{1}{8}$

Hence, The probability of spinning red with the spinner or rolling an odd number with the die is $\dfrac{1}{8}$

Thorium-234 has a half-life of 24.1 days. How many grams of a 150 g sample would you have after 120.5 days?

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

8.625 grams of a 150 g sample of Thorium-234 would be left after 120.5 days

Explanation:

The nuclear half life represents the time taken for the initial amount of sample to reduce into half of its mass.

We have given that the half life of thorium-234 is 24.1 days. Then it takes 24.1 days for a Thorium-234 sample to reduced to half of its initial amount.

Initial amount of Thorium-234 available as per the question is 150 grams

So now we start with 150 grams of Thorium-234

$150 \times \frac{1}{2}=24.1$

$75 \times \frac{1}{2} =48.2$

$34.5 \times \frac{1}{2} =72.3$

$17.25 \times \frac{1}{2} =96.4$

$8.625\times \frac{1}{2} =120.5$

So after 120.5 days the amount of sample that remains is 8.625g

In simpler way , we can use the below formula to find the sample left

$A=A_{0} \cdot \frac{1}{2^{n}}$

Where

$A_0$ is the initial sample amount

n = the number of half-lives that pass in a given period of time.
