Answer: 96.34%

Explanation:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

k=\frac{0.693}{5715}=0.00012years^{-1}

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

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

where,

k = rate constant  

t = time for decomposition = 300 years

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 100

a - x = amount left after decay process = ?  

300=\frac{2.303}{0.00012}\log\frac{100}{100-x}

x=3.66

(a-x)=100-3.66=96.34

Thus 96.34 percent of a given amount remains after 300 years.

A solution is made by mixing 55.g of thiophene C4H4S and 65.g of acetyl bromide CH3COBr.
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Mole fraction of C₄H₄S = 0.55

Explanation:

Mole fraction is moles of solute / Total moles

Total moles are the sum of moles of solute + moles of solvent.

Let's find out the moles of our solute and our solvent.

Mass of solute: 55g

Mass of solvent: 65g

Mol = Mass / molar mass

55 g / 84.06 g/mol = 0.654 moles of C₄H₄S

65 g /123 g/mol = 0.529 moles of C₂H₃BrO

Total moles = 0.654 + 0.529 = 1.183 moles

Mole fraction of thiophene = Moles of tiophene / Total moles

0.654 / 1.183 = 0.55
