If you have 24 grams of an unstable atom with a half life of 5,000 years, how many grams would be left after 15,000 years

Answer:

3 g.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Original amount (N₀) = 24 g

Half life (t½) = 5000 years

Time (t) = 15000 years

Amount remaining (N) =?

Next, we shall determine the rate constant K. This can be obtained as follow:

Half life (t½) = 5000 years

Rate constant (K) =.?

K = 0.693 / t½

K = 0.693 / 5000

K = 1.386×10¯⁴ / years

Finally, we shall determine the amount remaining (N) after 15000 years as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 24 g

Time (t) = 15000 years

Rate constant (K) = 1.386×10¯⁴ / years

Amount remaining (N) =?

Log (N₀/N) = kt/2.3

Log (24/N) = 1.386×10¯⁴ × 15000/2.3

Log (24/N) = 2.079/2.3

Log (24/N) = 0.9039

24/N = antilog (0.9039)

24/N = 8.01

Cross multiply

24 = N × 8.01

Divide both side by 8.01

N = 24/8.01

N = 3 g

Therefore, the amount remaining after 15000 years is 3 g.

when 2.40 moles of sodium react with 5.90 moles of chlorine gas in the reaction shown above, how many moles of sodium chloride a
frutty [35]

First we look at the chemical reaction:

2 Na + Cl₂ → 2 NaCl

Now we should see which is the limiting reagent, so we construct the following reasoning:

if        2 moles of Na reacts with 1 mole of Cl₂

then   2.4 moles of Na reacts with X moles of Cl₂

X = (2.4 × 1) / 2 = 1.2 mole of Cl₂ (way lower that the available quantity of chlorine).

So the limiting reagent is sodium, and from here we can calculate the number of moles of NaCl produced.

if        2 moles of Na produces 2 moles of NaCl

then   2.4 moles of Na produces Y moles of NaCl

Y = (2.4 × 2) / 2 = 2.4 moles fo NaCl (sodium chloride)

Which type of bond makes it possible for a macromolecule to interact with great specificity with just one out of the many thousa
Andrei [34K]

Answer:Non-covalent bonds

Explanation:

The Non-covalent bonds are bonds such as van der Waals forces of attraction, the Hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic bonds and so on. The Non-covalent bonds are very important types of bonding in large biological molecules.

Just like the question says, the Non-covalent bonds, ''makes it possible for a macromolecule to interact with great specificity with just one out of the many thousands of different molecules present inside a cell".

Ionic bonding is also a Non-covalent bonding. They(Non-covalent bonds) helps in the stability of large macromolecules.
