1. 200/2=100. 100/2=50. 50/2=25. So that's 3 to get to 25. 

2. 11.46/3=3.82

The answer is (2).

Answer : The correct option is, (2) 3.82 d

Solution : Given,

As we know that the radioactive decays follow first order kinetics.

So, the expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by :

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = time taken for decay process  = 11.46 days

a = initial amount of the reactant  = 200 g

a - x = amount left after decay process  = 25 g

Putting values in above equation, we get the value of rate constant.

k=\frac{2.303}{11.46}\log\frac{200}{25}=0.1814

Now we have to calculate the half life of a radioisotope.

Formula used : t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

Putting value of 'k' in this formula, we get the half life.

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{0.1814}=3.820

Therefore, the half-life of a radioisotope is, 3.820 d

45 Gg = [? ]x10!?g<br> ]<br> =<br> ]
nlexa [21]

1. The coefficient (green) is 45

2. The exponent (yellow) is 9

<h3>Conversion scale</h3>

To convert from giga grams (Gg) to grams (g), the following coversion scale can be use:

1 Gg = 10⁹ g

With the above convesion scale, we can convert 45 Gg to g as follow

1 Gg = 10⁹ g

Therefore,

45 Gg = 45×10⁹ g

Thus, 45 Gg is equivalent to 45×10⁹ g. Hence, we can conclude as follow:

  • The coefficient (green) is 45
  • The exponent (yellow) is 9

2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)
Ket [755]

Answer:- 10 L of ethane.

Solution:- The given balanced equation is:

2C_2H_6(g)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)

From this equation, ethane and oxygen react in 2:7 mol ratio, the ratio of volumes would also be same if they are at same temperature and pressure.

Since 14 L of each gas are taken, the oxygen will be the limiting reactant and ethane will be the excess reactant. Let's calculate the volume of ethane used:

14LO_2(\frac{2LC_2H_6}{7LO_2})

= 4LC_2H_6

From above calculations, 4 L of ethane are used. So, excess volume of ethane left after the completion of reaction = 14 L - 4 L = 10 L

Hence, 10 L of ethane will be remaining.

When you are done using the glassware from a kit, what should you do?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

A. Wipe down the glassware to remove any cleaning solvent.

Explanation:

· Remove stoppers and stopcocks when they are not in use. Otherwise, they may "freeze" in place. You can de-grease ground glass joints by wiping them with a lint-free towel soaked with ether or acetone. Wear gloves and avoid breathing the fumes. The deionized water rinse should form a smooth sheet when poured through clean glassware.
