Since the half-life of 235U (7. 13 x 108 years) is less than that of 238U (4.51 x 109 years), the isotopic abundance of 235U has
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

\mathtt{ t_1-t_2= In(\dfrac{3}{y}) \times \dfrac{7.13 \times 10^8}{In2} \ years}

Explanation:

Given that:

The Half-life of ^{235}U = 7.13 \times 10^8 \ years is less than that of ^{238} U = 4.51 \times 10^9 \ years

Although we are not given any value about the present weight of ^{235}U.

So, consider the present weight in the percentage of ^{235}U to be  y%

Then, the time elapsed to get the present weight of ^{235}U = t_1

Therefore;

N_1 = N_o e^{-\lambda \ t_1}

here;

N_1 = Number of radioactive atoms relating to the weight of y of ^{235}U

Thus:

In( \dfrac{N_1}{N_o}) = - \lambda t_1

In( \dfrac{N_o}{N_1}) =  \lambda t_1 --- (1)

However, Suppose the time elapsed from the initial stage to arrive at the weight of the percentage of ^{235}U to be = t_2

Then:

In( \dfrac{N_o}{N_2}) =  \lambda t_2  ---- (2)

here;

N_2 =  Number of radioactive atoms of ^{235}U relating to 3.0 a/o weight

Now, equating  equation (1) and (2) together, we have:

In( \dfrac{N_o}{N_1}) -In( \dfrac{N_o}{N_2}) =  \lambda( t_1-t_2)

replacing the half-life of ^{235}U = 7.13 \times 10^8 \ years

In( \dfrac{N_2}{N_1})  = \dfrac{In 2}{7.13 \times 10^9}( t_1-t_2)      ( since \lambda = \dfrac{In 2}{t_{1/2}} )

∴

\mathtt{In(\dfrac{3}{y}) \times \dfrac{7.13 \times 10^8}{In2}= t_1-t_2}

The time elapsed signifies how long the isotopic abundance of 235U equal to 3.0 a/o

Thus, The time elapsed is  \mathtt{ t_1-t_2= In(\dfrac{3}{y}) \times \dfrac{7.13 \times 10^8}{In2} \ years}

The balanced equation for combustion in an acetylene torch is shown below:
vichka [17]

Answer:

70mol

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is given as:

                  2C₂H₂ + 5O₂ → 4CO₂ + 2H₂O

Given parameters:

Number of moles of acetylene = 35.0mol

Number of moles of oxygen in the tank = 84.0mol

Unknown:

Number of moles of CO₂ produced = 35.0mol

Solution:

From the information given about the reaction, we know that the reactant that limits this combustion process is acetylene. Oxygen is given in excess and we don't know the number of moles of this gas that was used up. We know for sure that all the moles of acetylene provided was used to furnish the burning procedure.

To determine the number of moles of CO₂ produced, we use the stoichiometric relationship between the known acetylene and the CO₂ produced from the balanced chemical equation:

From the equation:

         2 moles of acetylene produced 4 moles of CO₂

          ∴ 35.0 mol of acetylene would produced:  

                               \frac{35 x 4}{2} = 70mol

What happens to an atom if it loses an electron?
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

When an atom loses electron(s) it will lose some of its negative charge and so becomes positively charged. A positive ion is formed where an atom has more protons than electrons. In the opposite case when an atom gains electron(s) it becomes negatively charged (more electrons than protons).
