How many half lives have elapsed?
actually the formula is like this
A=P(1/2)^(t/h)
P=iniital amount
t=time
h=half life
A=final amount
so

hmm, percent
so P=1 then
A=1(1/2)^(144.6/24.1)
A=1(1/2)^6
A=1/64
A=0.05625
so 5.625% is left

Starting with lead (ii) carbonate describe how a solid sample of lead (ii) sulphate can be prepared
tatuchka [14]

The preparation of lead (ii) sulphate from lead (ii) carbonate occurs in two steps:

  1. insoluble lead carbonate is converted to soluble lead (ii) nitrate
  2. soluble lead (ii) nitrate is reacted with sulphuric acid to produce lead (ii) sulphate.

<h3>How can a  solid sample of lead (ii) sulphate be prepared from lead (ii) carbonate?</h3>

Lead (ii) carbonate and  lead (ii) sulphate are both insoluble salts of lead.

In order to prepare lead (ii) sulphate, a two step process is performed.

In the first step, Lead (ii) carbonate is reacted with dilute trioxonitrate (v) acid to produce lead (ii) nitrate.

  • PbCO₃ + 2HNO₃ → Pb(NO₃)₂ + CO₂ + H₂O

In the second step, dilute sulfuric acid is reacted with the lead (ii) nitrate to produce insoluble lead (ii) sulphate which is filtered and dried.

  • Pb(NO₃)₂ + H₂SO₄  →  PbSO₄ + 2HNO₃

In conclusion, lead (ii) sulphate is prepared in two steps.

The products
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The products  of self-ionization of water are OH⁻ and H⁺.

Explanation:

  • The water is self ionized according to the equation:

<em>H₂O → OH⁻ + H⁺. </em>

<em></em>

The ionic product for water (Kw) = [OH⁻][H⁺] = 10⁻¹⁴.

Kw is also called "self-ionization constant" or "auto-ionization constant".
