35.0 grams of nitrogen gas reacts with 60.0 grams of hydrogen gas: N2 + 3H2--> 2NH3
Misha Larkins [42]

Explanation:

Moles of N2 = 35.0g / (28g/mol) = 1.25mol

Moles of H2 = 60.0g / (2g/mol) = 30.0mol

Since 1.25mol * 3 < 30.0mol, nitrogen is limiting.

Moles of NH3 = 1.25mol * 2 = 2.50mol.

Mass of NH3 = 2.50mol * (17g/mol) = 42.5g.

30.0mol - 1.25mol * 3 = 26.25mol.

Excess mass of H2

= 26.25mol * (2g/mol) = 52.5g.

An unknown radioactive substance has a half-life of 3.20hours . If 46.2g of the substance is currently present, what mass A0 was
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

a) a0 was 46.2 grams

b) It will take 259 years

c) The fossil is 1845 years old

Explanation:

<em>An unknown radioactive substance has a half-life of 3.20hours . If 46.2g of the substance is currently present, what mass A0 was present 8.00 hours ago?</em>

A = A0 * (1/2)^(t/h)

⇒ with A = the final amount = 46.2 grams

⇒ A0 = the original amount

⇒ t = time = 8 hours

⇒ h = half-life time = 3.2 hours

46.2 = Ao*(1/2)^(8/3.2)

Ao = 261.35 grams

<em>Americium-241 is used in some smoke detectors. It is an alpha emitter with a half-life of 432 years. How long will it take in years for 34.0% of an Am-241 sample to decay?</em>  

t = (ln(0.66))-0.693) * 432 = 259 years

It will take 259 years

<em>A fossil was analyzed and determined to have a carbon-14 level that is 80% that of living organisms. The half-life of C-14 is 5730 years. How old is the fossil?</em>

<em />

t = (ln(0.80))-0.693) * 5730 = 1845

The fossil is 1845 years old
