What is the half-life of sodium-24? EXPLAIN how you determined your answer.

1 answer:

8 0

Half-life is basically how long it takes for a radioactive molecule to get to 1/2 of its original mass.

so if sodium 24 mass was 5g and it's half life was 24years then:

after every 24years 1/2 of 5g would have decayed. so in 48years there will only be 2.5g left.

An atom of argon rarely bonds to an atom of another element because an argon atom has

Solnce55 [7]

The answer is (1) 8 valence electrons. Argon, being a noble gas, already possesses a full octet of valence electrons and is, therefore, very, very stable. It has an almost indomitable tendency to retain that octet. That is why it so rarely participates in any sort of bonding.

Lead (II) nitrate and magnesium iodide solutions are mixed

sashaice [31]

The molecular equation :

MgI₂(aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) → Mg(NO₃)₂(aq) + PbI₂(s)

The net ionic equations

Pb²⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq) → PbI₂(s)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Word equation

Required

The molecular equations and the net ionic equations

Solution

The chemical equation can be expressed in terms of:

word equation
skeleton equation
balanced equation

The equation of a chemical reaction can be expressed in the equation of the ions

When a spectator ions are removed, the ionic equation is called the net ionic equation

A molecular equation is a chemical equation that has been balanced and is written in molecular (not ionic) form

The molecular equation :

MgI₂(aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) → Mg(NO₃)₂(aq) + PbI₂(s)

the ionic equation :

Mg²⁺ +2I⁻ + Pb²⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ → Mg²⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ + PbI₂

the net ionic equations

Pb²⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq) → PbI₂(s)

Which equation represents a conservation of atoms? Group of answer choices LaTeX: 4Fe\:+3O_2\:\longrightarrow\:2Fe_2O_3 4 F e +

slamgirl [31]

Answer : The equation represents a conservation of atoms is:

$4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

Explanation :

Law of conservation of matter : It states that matter can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

The balanced chemical reaction always follow the law of conservation of matter.

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

(1) The given chemical reaction is,

$4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

This reaction is a balanced chemical reaction in which number of atoms of iron and oxygen are equal on the both side of the reaction. So, this reaction obey the law of conservation of matter.

(2) The given chemical reaction is,

$2Fe+2O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

This reaction is an unbalanced chemical reaction in which number of atoms of iron and oxygen are not equal on the both side of the reaction. So, this reaction does not obey the law of conservation of matter.

(3) The given chemical reaction is,

$4Fe+2O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

This reaction is an unbalanced chemical reaction in which number of atoms of oxygen are not equal on the both side of the reaction. So, this reaction does not obey the law of conservation of matter.

Hence, the equation represents a conservation of atoms is:

$4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$
