The  number of  years  required  for 1/4  cobalt-60  to remain   after   decay  is calculated  as follows

  after  one  half life  1/2 of the original  mass isotope  remains

after  another half life 1/4  mass  of  original  mass  remains

therefore  if one  half  life is  5.3   years  then  the  years required

= 2  x 5.3years =  10.6   years

Consider the oxidation of sodium metal to sodium oxide described by the balanced equation:
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

1116 g.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

4Na + O₂ —> 2Na₂O

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of O₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of Na₂O.

Next, we shall determine the theoretical yield of Na₂O. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of O₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of Na₂O.

Therefore, 9 moles of O₂ will react to produce = 9 × 2 = 18 moles of Na₂O.

Finally, we shall determine the mass in 18 moles of Na₂O. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of Na₂O = 18 moles

Molar mass of Na₂O = (23×2) + 16

= 46 + 16

= 62 g/mol

Mass of Na₂O =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of Na₂O = 18 × 62

Mass of Na₂O = 1116 g

Thus, the theoretical yield of Na₂O is 1116 g.

Cyclopropane is more reactive than most cycloalkanes. What factors lead to cyclopropane being less stable than the other cycloal
maw [93]

Answer: The factor that lead to cyclopropane being less stable than the other cycloalkanes is the presence of a RING STRAIN.

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, the end carbon atoms of an open aliphatic chain can join together to form a closed system or ring to form cycloalkanes. Such compounds are known as cyclic compounds. Examples include cyclopropane, cyclobutane, cyclopentane and many among others.

Cyclopropane is less stable than other cycloalkanes mentioned above because of the presence of ring strain in its structural arrangement. The ring strain is the spatial orientation of atoms of the cycloalkane compounds which tend to give off a very high and non favourable energy. The release of heat energy which is stored in the bonds and molecules cause the ring to be UNSTABLE and REACTIVE.

The presence of the ring strain affects mainly the structures and the conformational function of the smaller cycloalkanes. cyclopropane, which is the smallest cycloalkane than the rest mentioned above, contains only 3 carbons with a small ring.

The element which has the electronic configuration is CHLORINE.
The atomic number of chlorine is 17 and it has 7 valence electrons in its outermost shell. Because it needs only one more electrons to have a stable octet, it usually react with metals from group one of the periodic table who are normally willing to donate the single electrons in their outermost shells. The ground state electronic configuration of chlorine atom is 1S^2 2S^2 2P^6 3S^2 3P^5.
