Answer:

a. 0.31 g

Explanation:

  • It is known that the decay of a radioactive isotope isotope obeys first order kinetics.
  • Also, it is clear that in first order decay the half-life time is independent of the initial concentration.
  • Half-life time is the time needed for the reactants to be in its half concentration.
  • If reactant has initial concentration [A₀], after half-life time its concentration will be ([A₀]/2).
  • The half-life time of the substance = 14 days.

<em>So, 70 days represent (70 days/ 14 days = 5.0 half-lives).</em>

<em />

  • So, the substance will decay:

10 g → (first half-life = 14 days) 5 g → (second half-life = 28 days) 1.5 g → (third half-life = 42 days) 1.25 g → (fourth half-life = 56 days) 0.625 g → (fifth half-life = 70 days) 0.3125 g.

<em>So, the right choice is: a. 0.31 g.</em>

The equation to be used are:

PM = ρRT
PV = nRT
where
P is pressure, M is molar mass, ρ is density, R is universal gas constant (8.314 J/mol·K), T is absolute temperature, V is volume and n is number of moles

The density of air at 23.5°C, from literature, is 1.19035 kg/m³. Its molar mass is 0.029 kg/mol.

PM = ρRT
P(0.029 kg/mol) = (1.19035 kg/m³)(8.314 J/mol·K)(23.5+273 K)
P = 101,183.9 Pa

n = 0.587 g * 1 kg/1000 g * 1 mol/0.029 kg = 0.02024 mol
(101,183.9 Pa)V = (0.02024 mol)(8.314 J/mol·K)(23.5+273 K)
Solving for V,
V = 4.931×10⁻⁴ m³
Since 1 m³ = 1000 L
V = 4.931×10⁻⁴ m³ * 1000
V = 0.493 L

A student has a piece of aluminum metal. Which is the most reasonable assumption the student could make about the metal?
Rudik [331]

The metals are elements which have low ionization potential and can lose electrons easily

the other physical characteristics associated with them and hence with Aluminium are

a) they can conduct electricity in molten state, hence It would only conduct electricity if it were melted.

b) It could be stretched into a thin wire. It means it is ductile.

In case of given aluminium metal the correct answer is

it could be stretched to thin wire
