What is a factor that can influence the rate of a nuclear decay reaction?

Chemistry

Viktor [21]3 years ago

the stability of the radioactive element

Explanation:

The stability of a radioactive element can influence the rate of nuclear decay reaction. Pressure, temperature and concentration only affects chemical changes. These factors would not have any effect on radioactive decay of an element.

  • Every atomic nucleus have a specific neutron/proton ratio which ensures the stability of the nucleus.
  • Any nucleus that deviates from the stability ratio will continue to split until it achieves stability.
  • The more unstable a nucleus is, the faster it decays.
  • This is the basis of radioactive decay of elements.

What can you determine about the feasibility of a reaction if the enthalpy is positive and
kvasek [131]

If the enthalpy is positive and the entropy is positive, the Gibbs energy will always be positive, and the reaction will never be feasible.

<h3>What is the Gibbs Free Energy?</h3>

The Gibb Free Energy is used to obtain the feasibility of a reaction. If the Gibbs free energy is positive the reaction is not spontaneous. If the value is negative, the reaction is spontaneous while a zero values indicates equilibrium.

From the equation;

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS, it follows that if the enthalpy is positive and the entropy is positive, the Gibbs energy will always be positive, and the reaction will never be feasible.

In a liquid-liquid extraction, how can you experimentally tell which layer is organic and which layer is aqueous? Can you always
zysi [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Liquid-liquid extraction is a very useful method to separate components from a mixture. It consists of separating one or several substances dissolved in a solvent by transferring them to another solvent insoluble or partially insoluble in the first. The transfer of matter is achieved by direct contact between the two liquid phases.

For the extraction process, the solution is placed in a separating funnel, a water-immiscible organic solvent is added (ethyl ether is the most used), the solution with the compound to be separated, the funnel is covered and the funnel is top. Then it shakes. Depending on the solubilities and density, different layers are observed. The denser the compound, the more it will sink.

Since the organic compound is usually much more soluble in ether than in water, most of the organic compound will be dissolved in the ether phase (upper phase) and inorganic salts, which are not soluble in ether, will remain in the aqueous phase ( lower phase). Subsequently, by separating the separating funnel the two phases are separated, the organic phase is collected.

Occasionally, after stirring, the two immiscible liquids do not separate sharply, forming an emulsion in the intermediate zone. This is called the colloidal suspension of a liquid in another (system consisting of two or more phases, usually a liquid and another dispersed in the form of generally very fine solid particles). One of the reasons for the formation of an emulsion is when the two phases have similar densities. Then the relative density of the organic solvent and water cannot always be relied upon, although there are methods to facilitate the complete separation of the two phases.

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Josue

Explanation:

J.J Thompson proposed the plum pudding model of the atom. In his proposition, the atom is a sphere of positive charges into which negative charges were embedded. This model of the atom did not significantly contribute to our present day understanding of atomic structure.

On the other hand Ernest Rutherford laid out the foundation for a more accurate understanding of atomic structure in his nuclear model of the atom. According to Rutherford, the atom consists of a positively charged massive core called the nucleus around which electron move in orbits. His idea was akin to the solar system with the sun at it's core and planets moving around the sun in orbits.

This his idea of the nuclear theory was held as fundamentally correct by Neils Bohr's model of the atom. Hence, his nuclear theory of the atom was a significant milestone in our present day understanding of atomic structure.

Calculate the concentration of IO−3 in a 1.65 mM Pb(NO3)2 solution saturated with Pb(IO3)2 . The Ksp of Pb(IO3)2 is 2.5×10−13 .
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

1) Pb(NO3)2 => Pb2+ + 2 NO3-

[Pb2+] = [Pb(NO3)2] = 7.56 mM = 7.56 x 10-3 M

Pb(IO3)2 <=> Pb2+ + 2 IO3-

Ksp = [Pb2+][IO3-]2 = 2.5 x 10-13

7.56 x 10-3 x [IO3-]2 = 2.5 x 10-13

[IO3-] = 5.75 x 10-6 M ≈ 5.8 x 10-6 M

(2) [Pb2+] = 1.7 x 10-6 M

Ksp = [Pb2+][IO3-]2 = 2.5 x 10-13

1.7 x 10-6 x [IO3-]2 = 2.5 x 10-13

[IO3-] = 3.83 x 10-4 M

[IO3-]from Pb(IO3)2 = 2 x [Pb2+]

= 2 x 1.7 x 10-6 = 3.4 x 10-6 M

[IO3-]from NaIO3 = [IO3-] - [IO3-]from Pb(IO3)2

= 3.83 x 10-4 - 3.4 x 10-6

= 3.80 x 10-4 M

NaIO3 => Na+ + IO3-

[NaIO3] = [IO3-]from NaIO3

= 3.80 x 10-4 M ≈ 3.8 x 10-4 M

When 55.8 g of Fe reacts with Cl2 according to the equation 2Fe + 3Cl2 --&gt; 2FeCl3. How many moles of Cl2 are required to reac
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

1.50 moles

Balanced equation:  2Fe + 3Cl₂ --> 2FeCl₃

<u>find moles of iron:</u>

moles = mass/Mr

moles = 55.8/56

moles = 0.9964 moles

<u>use molar ratio:</u>

2Fe : 3Cl₂

2 : 3

moles of Cl₂ = (0.9964/2)*3 = 1.50 moles
