What is the percent of carbon-14 remaining after two half-lives?

After one half-life, one half is remaining.  After two half-lives one fourth is remaining.  So that would be 25%

A monoprotic weak acid when dissolved in water is 0.66% dissociated and produces a solution with a pH of 3.04. Calculate the Ka
raketka [301]

Answer:

Ka = 6.02x10⁻⁶

Explanation:

The equilibrium that takes place is:

  • HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻
  • Ka = [H⁺][A⁻]/[HA]

We <u>calculate [H⁺] from the pH</u>:

  • pH = -log[H⁺]
  • [H⁺] = 10^{-pH}
  • [H⁺] = 9.12x10⁻⁴ M

Keep in mind that [H⁺]=[A⁻].

As for [HA], we know the acid is 0.66% dissociated, in other words:

  • [HA] * 0.66/100 = [H⁺]

We <u>calculate [HA]</u>:

  • [HA] = 0.138 M

Finally we <u>calculate the Ka</u>:

  • Ka = \frac{[9.12x10^{-4}]*[9.12x10^{-4}]}{[0.138]} = 6.02x10⁻⁶

How do you balance redox equations in acidic solutions?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

First, balance the half-reactions

Second, equalize the electrons

Third,add two reaction equations to get final answer

Explanation:

For example

H₂C₂0₄ + MnO⁻₄ ---------->CO₂+Mn²⁺

(i) Balancing the half reactions

H₂C₂O₄-------->2CO₂+2H⁺+2e⁻

5e⁻ +8H⁺+MnO₄⁻----------->Mn²⁺+4H₂O

(ii)

Equalizing the electrons

5H₂C₂O₄--------->10CO₂+10H⁺+10e⁻  ---here there is a factor of 5

10e⁻+16H⁺+2MnO₄⁻--------->2Mn²⁺+8H₂O -----here there is a factor of 2

(iii)

Add the two where electrons and some Hydrogen ions will cancel out

5H₂C₂O₄+6H⁺+2MnO₄⁻---->10CO₂+2Mn²⁺+8H₂O

Calculate the standard potential for the following galvanic cell: Fe(s) | Fe2+(aq) || Ag+(aq) | Ag(s) which has the overall bala
Nataly [62]

Answer:

E° = 1.24 V

Explanation:

Let's consider the following galvanic cell: Fe(s) | Fe²⁺(aq) || Ag⁺(aq) | Ag(s)

According to this notation, Fe is in the anode (where oxidation occurs) and Ag is in the cathode (where reduction occurs). The corresponding half-reactions are:

Anode: Fe(s) ⇒ Fe²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻

Cathode: Ag⁺(aq) + 1 e⁻ ⇒ Ag(s)

The standard cell potential (E°) is the difference between the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard reduction potential of the anode.

E° = E°red, cat - E°red, an

E° = 0.80 V - (-0.44 V) = 1.24 V

The mechanism for producing a concentrated urine involves all of the following except
avanturin [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is "obligatory water reabsorption in the proximal convoluted tubule".

Explanation:

The mechanism for producing concentrated urine cannot include the obligatory reabsorption of water in the proximal convoluted tubule since this process is part of the nephron, the system that filters the blood. Glucose and amino acids are reabsorbed almost entirely, as are approximately 70% of filtered potassium and 80% of bicarbonate.

Have a nice day!
