It takes 33.4 s for the concentration of A to fall to one-fourth of its original value.

A <em>half-life</em> is the time it takes for the concentration to fall to half its original value.

Assume the initial concentration is 1.00 mol/L. Then,

\text{1.00 mol/L }\stackrel{\text{1st half-life }}{\longrightarrow}\text{ 0.50 mol/L } \stackrel{\text{ 2nd half-life }}{\longrightarrow}\text{0.25 mol/L}\\

The concentration drops to one-fourth of its initial value in two half-lives.

∴ Time = 2 × 16.7 s = 33.4 s

A 10.0 mL sample of 0.25 M NaOH(aq) is titrated with 0.10 M HCl(aq) (adding HCl to NaOH). Determine which region on the titratio
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

1) After adding 15.0 mL of the HCl solution, the mixture is before the equivalence point on the titration curve.

2) The pH of the solution after adding HCl is 12.6

Explanation:

10.0 mL of 0.25 M NaOH(aq) react with 15.0 mL of 0.10 M HCl(aq). Let's calculate the moles of each reactant.

nNaOH=\frac{0.25mol}{L} .10.0 \times 10^{-3} L=2.5 \times 10^{-3}mol

nHCl=\frac{0.10mol}{L} \times 15.0 \times 10^{-3} L=1.5 \times 10^{-3}mol

There is an excess of NaOH so the mixture is before the equivalence point. When HCl completely reacts, we can calculate the moles in excess of NaOH.

                    NaOH       +       HCl       ⇒       NaCl      +         H₂O

Initial          2.5 × 10⁻³         1.5 × 10⁻³               0                      0

Reaction    -1.5 × 10⁻³        -1.5 × 10⁻³          1.5 × 10⁻³          1.5 × 10⁻³

Final            1.0 × 10⁻³               0                 1.5 × 10⁻³          1.5 × 10⁻³

The concentration of NaOH is:

[NaOH]=\frac{1.0 \times 10^{-3} mol }{25.0 \times 10^{-3} L} =0.040M

NaOH is a strong base so [OH⁻] = [NaOH].

Finally, we can calculate pOH and pH.

pOH = -log [OH⁻] = -log 0.040 = 1.4

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 1.4 = 12.6

Pb has an atomic number of 82. It has an isotope Pb-207. The mass number is 207.
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Number of protons = 82

Explanation:

Given data:

Atomic number of Pb = 82

Mass number of Pb-207 = 207

Number of protons = ?

Solution:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

Atomic number of Pb = number of protons or electrons

82 = number of protons or electrons

Mass number = Number of protons + number of neutron

207 = 82 + number of neutron

Number of neutrons = 207 - 82

Number of neutrons = 125

A pure white crystalline compound was found to melt at 112.5-113.0oC when taken on a melting point apparatus, and on further hea
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

According to the question, the determined melting point of the compound is 112.5-113.0oC. When the solidified compound was retried, the melting point was found to be 133.6-154.5oC. This greater range higher than  112°C is caused by reusing samples leads to errors.

A pure sample is known by its sharp melting point. A pure sample does not melt over a large range. We can see this in the predetermined melting points of the pure sample(112.5-113.0oC).

However, reusing a sample introduces errors because the pure sample may become contaminated leading to a larger and higher range of melting point (133.6-154.5oC) which is far above  112°C.

How can you model the cycling of matter in the Earth system?
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The cycling of matter is important to many Earth processes and to the survival of organisms the existing matter must cycle continuously for this planet to support life Water, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and even rocks move through cycles If these materials did not cycle, Earth could not support life.
