Hey!

Hope this helps...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Question 1: Turn 25 coins tails up. You now have 50% parent material and 50% daughter material. What is the half life of this substance? (20 Points)

Answer:

Based upon the given information, we can assume that the half life of this coin material is 5 years.

Question 2: Imagine that another half life has gone by. Remember that ONLY the parent material can change to the daughter material. Turn over your pennies to represent the passing of another half life. How much total parent material and how much total daughter material do you now have? You may express your answer in number of pennies or in %. (Note: Since you cannot turn over half a penny, round the actual number of pennies you would turn over up.) (20 points)

Answer:

Based upon the given information from Question 2 and Question 3, we can assume that 13 additional coins would be turned over. We started with 50, than flipped 50% of them over, and now another 50% over. We have 12 coins left.

Question 3: How many half lives will pass before you have only 3 pennies that are parent material and 47 pennies that are daughter material? (20 Points)

Answer:

Based upon the given information from all the questions, and based upon our answers we can assume this:

1st half-life: 50 turned to 25 coins

2nd half-life: 25 turned to 12 coins

3rd half-life: 12 turns to 6 coins

4th half-life: 6 turns to 3 coins

So, after 4 half-lives (or after 20 years) we would have 3 coins left that have parent material.

2. Fe(s) + O2(g) → Fe3O4(s) a. When 13.54 g of O2 is mixed with 12.21 g of Fe, which is the limiting reactant? b. What mass in g

julsineya [31]

The percent yield shows the extent to which the reactants are converetd into products . The limiting reactant is used up in the reaction.

<h3>What is a limiting reactant?</h3>

A limiting reactant is the reactant that is in the least amount in the system. Now;

Number of moles of Fe = 12.21 g/56 g/mol = 0.22 moles

Number of moles of O2 = 13.54 g/32 g/mol = 0.42 moles

Balanced reaction equation;

3Fe(s) + 2 O2(g) = Fe3O4(s)

If 3 moles of Fe reacts with 2 mole of O2

0.22 moles of Fe reacts with 0.22 moles * 2 mole/3 moles = 0.15 moles

Hence, Fe is the limiting reactant

If 3 mole of Fe produces 1 mole of Fe3O4(s)

0.22 moles of O2 produces 0.22 moles * 1 mole/3 moles of Fe3O4(s) = 0.1073 moles

Mass of Fe3O4(s) =0.1073 moles * 232 g/mol =16.9 g

Number of moles of excess reactant = 0.42 moles - 0.15 moles = 0.27 moles

Mass of excess reactant = 0.27 moles * 32 g/mol = 8.64 g

percent yield = 15.88 g/16.9 g * 100/1

= 93.4%

Which groups of the periodic table want to gain electrons? What kind(s) of elements are these groups

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Elements that are metals tend to lose electrons and become positively charged ions called cations. Elements that are nonmetals tend to gain electrons and become negatively charged ions called anions. Metals that are located in column 1A of the periodic table form ions by losing one electron.

Question 4 (higher question)

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Explanation:

Describe means you should recall facts, events or processes accurately. You might need to give an account of what something looked like, or what happened.

Explain means you need to make something clear, or state the reasons for something happening.

Compare means you need to describe similarities and differences between things. If you are asked to compare X and Y, write down something about X and something about Y, and give a comparison. Do not just write about X only or Y only.

Evaluate means you must use information supplied, or your own knowledge, to consider the evidence for and against or to identify strengths and weaknesses. You must then complete your answer with a conclusion, stating which is better and why, for example.

How many liters of oxygen gas, at standard temperature and pressure, will react with 35.4 grams of calcium metal? Show all of th

Margaret [11]

Answer: 19.8 l

Explanation:

1) Chemical equation:

2Ca + O₂ → 2CaO

2) Mole ratios: 2 mol Ca : 1 mol O₂ : 2 mol CaO

3) Convert 35.4 g of Ca to moles:

n = mass in grams / molar mass = 35.4 g / 40.1 g/mol = 0.883 mol

4) Volume proportion: 1 mol of gas at STP = 22.4 l

1 mol at STP 0.883 mol at STP

--------------------- = ------------------------------

22.4 l x

⇒ x = 0.883 mol × 22.4 l / 1 mol = 19.8 l ← answer
