The maximum allowable concentration of pb2+ ions in drinking water is 0.05 ppm (i.e., 0.05 g of pb2+ in 1 million grams of water

). (a) what is the pb2+ concentration of an underground water supply at equilibrium with the mineral anglesite (pbso4) (ksp = 1.6 × 10−8) ?

PbSO₄ partially dissociates in water. the balanced equation is;
                    
                       PbSO₄(s) ⇄  Pb²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq)
Initial                                     -                -
Change             -X               +X           +X
Equilibrium                           X              X

Ksp           =    [Pb²⁺(aq)] [SO₄²⁻(aq)]
1.6 x 10⁻⁸  =    X * X
1.6 x 10⁻⁸  =    X²
          X    =   1.3 x 10⁻⁴ M
      
Hence the Pb²⁺ concentration in underground water is 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ M. 
[Pb²⁺]  = 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ M.
           = 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ mol / L x 207 g / mol 
           = 26.91 ppm

Consider a certain type of nucleus that has a half-life of 32 min. calculate the percent of original sample of nuclides remainin
Irina18 [472]
t1/2 = ln 2 / λ = 0.693 / λ
Where t1/2 is the half life of the element and λ is decay constant.

32 = 0.693 / λ 
λ   = 0.693 / 32          (1) 

Nt = Nο eΛ(-λt)          (2)

Where Nt is atoms at t time, λ is decay constant and t is the time taken.
t = 1.9 hours = 1.9 x 60 min

From (1) and (2),


Nt = Nο e⁻Λ(0.693/32)*1.9*60
Nt =  0.085Nο 

Percentage = (Nt/Nο) x 100%
                   = (0.085Nο/Nο) x 100%
                   = 8.5%

Hence, Percentage of remaining atoms with the original sample is 8.5%

Because the 4s orbital is at a lower energy level.

The 4s orbital has a lower energy because it is more <em>penetrating</em> than a 3d orbital. A 4s electron can get closer the nucleus than a 3d electron, so it has a lower potential energy.

The other options are incorrect because they contradict the correct one.
