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

Elis [28]3 years ago
3 0

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.

10. Isolation of a pure sample of the third product, which has been determined to be an isomer of the major and minor products,
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Four possible isomers (1–4) for the natural product essramycin. The structure of compound 1 was attributed to essramycin by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HMBC, HRMS, and IR experiments.

Explanation:

Three synthetic routes were used to prepare all four compounds (Figure 2A). All three reactions utilize 2-(5-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-1-phenylethanone (5) as the precursor, whereas each uses different esters (6–8) to construct the pyrimidinone ring. Isomer 1 was prepared by reaction A, which used triazole 5 and ethyl acetoacetate (6) in acetic acid. This was the reaction used in syntheses of essramycin by the Cooper and Moody laboratories.3,4 Reaction B produced compound 2 (minor product) and compound 3 (major product), which were separated chromatographically. This reaction allowed reagent 5 to react with ethyl 3-ethoxy-2-butenoate (7) in the presence of sodium in methanol, under reflux for 24 h. Compound 4 was prepared by reaction C, which was obtained by reflux of 5 and methyl 2-butynoate (8) in n-butanol.

In a unimolecular reaction with twice as much starting material as product at equilibrium, what is the value of Keq? Is ΔG o pos
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer : The value of K_{eq} is, 0.5 and \Delta G= positive.

Explanation :

The unimolecular reaction is:

A\rightarrow B

In unimolecular reaction, the starting material is 2 times to the product.

A=2B      .........(1)

As we know that:

K_{eq}=\frac{B}{A}     ...........(2)

Now substitute equation 1 in 2, we get:

K_{eq}=\frac{\frac{A}{2}}{A}

K_{eq}=0.5

Now we have to calculate the value of \Delta G^o at 298 K.

\Delta G^o=-RT\ln K_{eq}

where,

\Delta G^o = standard Gibbs free energy = ?

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = temperature = 298 K

K_{eq} = equilibrium constant = 0.5

Now put all the given values on the above formula, we get:

\Delta G^o=-(8.314J/mol.K)\times (298K)\ln (0.5)

\Delta G^o=1717.32J/mol

Thus, the value of \Delta G^o at 298 K is, 1717.32 J/mol

As we know that:

\Delta G= +ve, reaction is non spontaneous

\Delta G= -ve, reaction is spontaneous

\Delta G= 0, reaction is in equilibrium

Thus, the \Delta G= +ve. So, the reaction is non spontaneous.
