How long will it take for 100 grams of a substance with a half-life of 2 years to decay to a mass of 50 grams?

Chemistry

Answer:

<u>2 years</u> to decay to a mass of 50g.

Explanation:

given:

100g of substance with a half life of 2 years

to a mass of 50g

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

                          ln 2             0.693

Half life T1/2 = ----------  =  -----------

                              λ                  λ

where  λ = rate constant

The initial amount of 100 grams is decaying to a mass of 50 grams is half of its initial value.

Therefore, it will take 2 years for the decay.

The Ksp of yttrium iodate, Y(IO3)3 , is 1.12×10−10 . Calculate the molar solubility, s , of this compound.
torisob [31]

Answer:

1.427x10^-3mol per L

Explanation:

Y(IO_{3} )_{3} ---- Y^{3+} +IO_{3} ^{3-}

I could use ⇌ in the math editor so I used ----

from the question each mole of Y(IO3)3 is dissolved  and this is giving us a mole of Y3+ and a mole of IO3^3-

Ksp = [Y^3+][IO3-]^3

So that,

1.12x10^-10 = [S][3S]^3

such that

1.12x10^-10 = 27S^4

the value of s is 0.001427mol per L

= 1.427x10^-3mol per L

so in conclusion

the molar solubility is therefore 1.427x10^-3mol per L

In a balanced equation, the same number of each kind of atom is shown on each side of the equation. calculate the number of iron
Juliette [100K]
There is a missing portion of this question which shows the reaction that needs balancing:

"In a balanced equation, the same number of each kind of atom is shown on each side of the equation. Calculate the number of iron (Fe), oxygen (O), and carbon atoms (C).

Fe2O3+ 3CO --> 2Fe + 3CO<span>2

</span><span>Based on these values, is the equation balanced?</span><span>"
</span>
To check if this equation is balanced we simply compare the number of each element on each side of the equation.

On the reactant side of the equation we have:

2 Fe atoms
6 O atoms
3 C atoms

On the product side of the equation we have:

2 Fe atoms
6 O atoms
3 C atoms

Therefore, both side of the reaction have the correct and equal number of each atom, so the equation is balanced.

Cu2 -&gt; Cu2+ is it getting oxidized?
KIM [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻  →  Cu   ( copper gets reduced )

Cu  → Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ (  copper gets oxidized )

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Consider the following reactions.

4KI + 2CuCl₂  →   2CuI  + I₂  + 4KCl

the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.

CO + H₂O   →  CO₂ + H₂

the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant  side and on product side it becomes  +4 so carbon get oxidized.

Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄  →  Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O

The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is +4. while on product side is  also +4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O

The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
