The Nernst equation allows us to predict the cell potential for voltaic cells under conditions other than the standard conditions of 1M, 1 atm, 25°C. The effects of different temperatures and concentrations may be tracked in terms of the Gibbs energy change ΔG. This free energy change depends upon the temperature & concentrations according to ΔG = ΔG° + RTInQ where ΔG° is the free energy change under conditions and Q is the thermodynamic reaction quotient. The free energy change is related to the cell potential Ecell by ΔG= nFEcell

so for non-standard conditions
-nFEcell = -nFE°cell + RT InQ

or

Ecell = E°cell - RT/nF (InQ)

which is called Nernst equation.

Thorium-234 has a half-life of 24.1 days. How many grams of a 150 g sample would you have after 120.5 days?

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

8.625 grams of a 150 g sample of Thorium-234 would be left after 120.5 days

Explanation:

The nuclear half life represents the time taken for the initial amount of sample to reduce into half of its mass.

We have given that the half life of thorium-234 is 24.1 days. Then it takes 24.1 days for a Thorium-234 sample to reduced to half of its initial amount.

Initial amount of Thorium-234 available as per the question is 150 grams

So now we start with 150 grams of Thorium-234

$150 \times \frac{1}{2}=24.1$

$75 \times \frac{1}{2} =48.2$

$34.5 \times \frac{1}{2} =72.3$

$17.25 \times \frac{1}{2} =96.4$

$8.625\times \frac{1}{2} =120.5$

So after 120.5 days the amount of sample that remains is 8.625g

In simpler way , we can use the below formula to find the sample left

$A=A_{0} \cdot \frac{1}{2^{n}}$

Where

$A_0$ is the initial sample amount

n = the number of half-lives that pass in a given period of time.

Ap biology lab -what barriers might hinder the acquisition of plasmids

kaheart [24]

Restriction as a barrier to transformation apparently contributes to sexual isolation since horizontal transfer can encompass chromosomal DNA and plasmids. I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

Give regents and mechanism

Kryger [21]

Answer:

Reagents: 1) $BH_3$ 2) $H_2_O2$ , $OH^-$

Mechanism: Hydroboration

Explanation:

In this case, we have a hydration of alkenes reaction. But, in this example, we have an anti-Markovnikov reaction. In other words, the "OH" is added in the least substituted carbon. Therefore we have to choose an anti-Markovnikov reaction: "hydroboration".

The first step of this reaction is the addition of borane ( $BH_3$ ) to the double bond. Then in the second step, we have the deprotonation of the hydrogen peroxide, to obtain the peroxide anion. In the third step, the peroxide anion attacks the molecule produced in the first step to produce a complex compound in which we have a bond " $BH_2-O-OH$ ". In step number 4 we have the migration of the C-B bond to oxygen. Then in step number 5, we have the attack of $OH^-$ on the $O-BH_2$ to produce an alkoxide. Finally, the water molecule produce in step 2 will protonate the molecule to produce the alcohol.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!
