Answer:

% = 76.75%

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we just need to use the expressions of half life and it's relation with the concentration or mass of a compound. That expression is the following:

A = A₀ e^(-kt)   (1)

Where:

A and A₀: concentrations or mass of the compounds, (final and initial)

k: constant decay of the compound

t: given time

Now to get the value of k, we should use the following expression:

k = ln2 / t₁/₂   (2)

You should note that this expression is valid when the reaction is of order 1 or first order. In this kind of exercises, we can assume it's a first order because we are not using the isotope for a reaction.

Now, let's calculate k:

k = ln2 / 956.3

k = 7.25x10⁻⁴ d⁻¹

With this value, we just replace it in (1) to get the final mass of the isotope. The given time is 1 year or 365 days so:

A = 250 e^(-7.25x10⁻⁴ * 365)

A = 250 e^(-0.7675)

A = 191.87 g

However, the question is the percentage left after 1 year so:

% = (191.87 / 250) * 100

<h2>% = 76.75%</h2><h2>And this is the % of isotope after 1 year</h2>

What type of decay characterizes the change of radioactive nuclides to their respective daughter products?
tigry1 [53]
I believe the correct answer is the second option. The type of decay that characterizes the change of nuclides to their respective daughter products would be exponential decay. This type of decay is characterized by the decrease of quantity of a material according to the equation y=ab^x.

O2- is the Lewis ______ in the following reaction
matrenka [14]

O^{2-} is the Lewis base in the following reaction:

SO_3(g) + O^{2-}(aq)   →  SO_4^{2-}(aq)

<h3>What is lewis base? </h3>

Lewis base is a species that donates an electron pair.

In the above-given chemical equation, the O^{2-}is the lewis base which is donating an electron pair to the central atom of SO_3 to form SO_4^{-2}.

Hence, O^{2-} is the Lewis base in the following reaction:

SO_3(g) + O^{2-}(aq)   →  SO_4^{2-}(aq)

If the vapor pressure of ethanol at 34.7degree C is 100
saw5 [17]

Answer:

we will use the Clausius-Clapeyron equation to estimate the vapour pressures of the boiling ethanol at sea level pressure of 760mmHg:

 ln (P2/P1) = \frac{ΔvapH}{R}([tex]\frac{1}{T1}-\frac{1}{T2})

where

P1 and P2 are the vapour pressures at temperatures  T1 and T2

Δ vapH  = the enthalpy of vaporization of the ETHANOL

R  = the Universal Gas Constant

In this problem,

P 1 = 100 mmHg

;  T 1 = 34.7 °C = 307.07 K

P 2 = 760mmHg

T 2 =T⁻²=?

Δ vap H = 38.6 kJ/mol

R = 0.008314 kJ⋅K -1 mol -1

ln ( 760/10)=(0.00325 - T⁻²) (38.6kJ⋅mol-1 /0.008314 )

0.0004368=(0.00325 - T⁻²)  

T⁻²=0.002813

T² = 355.47K
