T is amount after time t 
<span>Ao is initial amount </span>
<span>t is time </span>
<span>HL is half life </span>

<span>log (At) = log [ Ao x (1/2)^(t/HL) ] </span>
<span>log (At) = log Ao + log (1/2)^(t/HL) </span>
<span>log (At) = log Ao + (t/HL) x log (1/2) </span>

<span>( log At - log Ao) / log (1/2) = t / HL </span>
<span>log (At/Ao) / log (1/2) = t / HL </span>

<span>HL = t / [( log (At / Ao)) / log (1/2) ] </span>

<span>HL = 14.4 s / [ ( log (12.5 / 50) / log (1/2) ] </span>

<span>HL = 14.4 s / 2 = 7.2 seconds </span>

Why does chlorine displace bromine from potassium bromide solution

Answer:

A more reactive halogen displaces a less reactive halogen from a solution of one of its salts.

Chlorine is more reactive than bromine, thus it displaces bromine.

What is the maximum amount of ammonia that can be produced when 0.35 mol Nz reacts with 0.90 mol Hz?
professor190 [17]

Answer:

0.6 moles NH₃

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

  • N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

First we <u>determine the limiting reactant</u>:

  • 0.35 mol N₂ would react completely with (3*0.35) 1.05 moles of H₂. There are not as many H₂ moles, so H₂ is the limiting reactant.

Then we <u>convert H₂ moles (the limiting reactant) to NH₃ moles</u>, keeping in mind the <em>stoichiometry of the reaction</em>:

  • 0.90 mol H₂ * \frac{2molNH_3}{3molH_2}= 0.6 moles NH₃

Which of the following salts will be less soluble in 0.10 M NaCl than it is in pure water?
MariettaO [177]

The less soluble salt : PbCl₂

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

0.1 M NaCl

Required

The less soluble salt

Solution

If we see from the answer option, the salt that is more difficult to dissolve in NaCl is PbCl₂ because it has the same ion (Cl)

When PbCl₂ is dissolved in water, ionization will occur

PbCl₂ ⇒ Pb²⁺+ 2Cl⁻

So, when dissolved in NaCl, NaCl itself will be ionized

NaCl ⇒ Na⁺ + Cl⁻

Based on the principle of equilibrium, the addition of an ion (one of the ions is enlarged), the reaction will shift towards the ion that was not added. In addition to this Cl ion, the reaction will shift to the left so that the solubility of PbCl₂ will decrease (the reaction to the right decreases)

Identify ways to reduce the risk of liquid bumping while heating.
postnew [5]

The most common way of preventing bumping is by adding one or two boiling chips to the reaction vessel. However, these alone may not prevent bumping and for this reason it is advisable to boil liquids in a boiling tube, a boiling flask, or an Erlenmeyer flask.
