Answer:

=14.8 grams

Explanation:

The remaining amount is normally calculated using the formula:

Remaining mass= 1/2ⁿ × Original mass where n is the number of half-lives.

Therefore, original mass= Remaining mass × 2ⁿ

Remaining mass= 2.2 grams

Number of half lives= 2.75 half lives

Original mass= 2.2g × 2²·⁷⁵

=14.8 grams

Answer:

im not sure but I hope this helps

Explanation:

I believe the equivalents is just the moles reactant/moles limiting reactant

water has a denisty of 1 g/mL. 1 L is 1000 ml so there are 1000g/L.

the molar mass of water is 18g/mol if you use the Liters in the equation above you can find the number of grams present. divide this number you found by 18 to find the moles.

now take the amount of the other reactant given and divide it by its own molar mass. this will give you the number of moles of that reactant.

divide the moles of water by the moles of the reactant and that is the equivalent.

to find the normality you take this number and divide it by the number of liters.
