If you had a 5 gram sample of lawrencium how much would still remain in 30 minutes

Chemistry

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{4.5 g}}

Explanation:

There are eight isotopes of lawrencium, and they are all radioactive,

I will do the calculation for ²⁶²Lr, which has a half-life of 3.6 h.

Let A₀ = the original amount of lawrencium.

The amount remaining after one half-life is ½A₀.

After two half-lives, the amount remaining is ½ ×½A₀ = (½)²A₀.

After three half-lives, the amount remaining is ½ ×(½)²A₀ = (½)³A₀, and so on.

We can write a general formula for the amount remaining:

A =A₀(½)ⁿ

where n is the number of half-lives

n = \dfrac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}

Data:

A₀ = 5 g

  t = 30 min

t_{\frac{1}{2}} = \text{3.6 h}

Calculations:

(a) Convert the half-life to minutes

t_{\frac{1}{2} }= \text{3.6 h} \times \dfrac{\text{60 min}}{\text{1 h}} = \text{216 min}

(b) Calculate n

n = \dfrac{30}{216} = 0.1389

(c) Calculate A

A = \text{5 g} \times \left (\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{0.1389} = \text{5 g} \times 0.9082 = \textbf{4.5 g}\\\\\text{The mass of lawrencium remaining after 30 min is $\large \boxed{\textbf{4.5 g}}$}

What is the volume of an object with a mass of 31g and density of 444g/ml​
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 0.07 mL</h2>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

volume =  \frac{mass}{density} \\

From the question

mass = 31 g

density = 444 g/mL

We have

volume =  \frac{31}{444}   \\  = 0.06981...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.07 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

The equilibrium constant for the reaction
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer: The concentrations of Cl_2 at equilibrium is 0.023 M

Explanation:

Moles of  Cl_2 = \frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{10g}{71g/mol}=0.14mol

Volume of solution = 1 L

Initial concentration of Cl_2 = \frac{0.14mol}{1L}=0.14M

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

                            COCl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons CO(g)+Cl_2(g)

Initial conc.           0.14 M           0 M       0M    

At eqm. conc.     (0.14-x) M        (x) M        (x) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

K_c=\frac{[CO]\times [Cl_2]}{[COCl_2]}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

4.63\times 10^{-3}=\frac{x)^2}{(0.14-x)}

By solving the term 'x', we get :

x = 0.023 M

Thus, the concentrations of Cl_2 at equilibrium is 0.023 M
