The half-life of cesium-137 is 30 years. Suppose we have a 40 mg sample. Exercise (a) Find the mass that remains after t years.

Step 1 Let y(t) be the mass (in mg) remaining after t years. Then we know the following. y(t) = y(0)ekt = · ekt Exercise (b) How much of the sample remains after 20 years? Step 1 After 20 years we have the following. y(20) = 40 · 2 = mg (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:

1) y(t) = (40.0 mg)(e∧(-(0.0231 year⁻¹)t).

2) 25.2 mg.

Explanation:

(a) Find the mass that remains after t years. Step 1 Let y(t) be the mass (in mg) remaining after t years. Then we know the following. y(t) = y(0)ekt

For first order reactions: y(t) = y(0)(e∧-kt)

where, y(t) is the mass of the substance at any time (t).

y(0) is the initial concentration of the substance at (t = 0) (y(0) = 40.0 mg).

k is the rate constant of the reaction.

t is the time of the reaction.

For first order reactions:<em> k = ln2/(t1/2)</em> = 0.693/(30 years) = 0.0231 year⁻¹.

<em>∴ y(t) = y(0)(e∧-kt)</em>

<em> y(t) = (40.0 mg)(e∧(-(0.0231 year⁻¹)t).</em>

<em>Exercise (b) How much of the sample remains after 20 years?</em>

<em>∵ y(t) = y(0)(e∧kt)</em>

k = 0.03465 year⁻¹, t = 20.0 years, y(0) = 40.0 mg.

<em>∴ y(t) = y(0)(e∧-kt) </em>= (40.0 mg)e∧-(0.0231 year⁻¹)(20.0 years) = <em>25.2 mg.</em>

Genrish500 [490]
Magma is a molten and semi-molten rock mixture found under the surface of the Earth. This mixture is usually made up of four parts: a hot liquid base, called the melt; minerals crystallized by the melt; solid rocks incorporated into the melt from the surrounding confines; and dissolved gases.

Calculate the molarity of a sugar solution if 4 liters of the solution contains 12 moles of sugar.
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

3M

Explanation:

Molarity is one of the measures of the molar concentration of a solution, which can be calculated by using the formula below:

Molarity = number of moles ÷ volume

From the information given in this question, 4 liters of a solution contains 12 moles of sugar. This means that n = 12mol and V = 4L

Molarity = n/V

Molarity = 12/4

Molarity = 3

Hence, the molarity of the sugar solution is 3mol/L or 3M

During reduction, which of the following is true? A. Electrons are gained, so the oxidation number increases. B. Electrons are g
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

B. Electrons are gained, so the oxidation number decreases.

Explanation:

Reduction is the <em>gain of electrons</em>.

Oxidation number is the charge that an atom <em>appears</em> to have when we count its electrons in a specific way.

Electrons have a negative charge so, if an atom gains electrons, its charge (oxidation number) becomes more negative. The oxidation number decreases.

If electrons are given off, the atom is being oxidized. Loss of electrons is <em>oxidation</em>.
