How much of a sample remains after five half-lives have occurred?

Chemistry

timama [110]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

1/32 of the original sample

Explanation:

We have to use the formula

N/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

N= amount of radioactive sample left after n number of half lives

No= original amount of radioactive sample present

t= time taken for the amount of radioactive samples to reduce to N

t1/2= half-life of the radioactive sample

We have been told that t= five half lives. This implies that t= 5(t1/2)

N/No = (1/2)^5(t1/2)/t1/2

Note that the ratio of radioactive samples left after time (t) is given by N/No. Hence;

N/No= (1/2)^5

N/No = 1/32

Hence the fraction left is 1/32 of the original sample.

In the gaseous state, chlorine exists as a diatomic molecule Cl2 (Molar mass = 70.9 g/mol). Calculate the number of moles of chl
kap26 [50]

Cl is stable as a diatomic molecule where the 2 Cl atoms are held together by a covalent bond

molar mass of the diatomic molecule is 70.9 g/mol

therefore 70.9 g of Cl₂ is - 1 mol

then 140 g of Cl₂ is - 1/70.9 x 140 = 1.97 mol

there are 1.97 mol of Cl₂ present

aleksandr82 [10.1K]
<span>What are some examples of monomers and oligomers?
</span>Organic molecules, such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids, are made of simple subunits called monomers. <span>Plasticizers are </span>oligomeric esters widely used to soften thermoplastics such as PVC and <span>urethane acrylate </span>. 
<span>
</span><span>If a chemical compound accelerates and regulates metabolic reactions, which type of role does it play - structural or physiological? 
</span>I believe the function that it plays would be physiological since it focuses more on the regulation of the reactions inside the body.

What is the ph of the benzoic acid solution prior to adding sodium benzoate?
Reika [66]
The acid dissociation constant of benzoic acid is 6.5 x 10^-5. Therefore, the pH of the benzoic acid solution prior to adding sodium benzoate is:

pH = -log[Ka]
pH = -log (6.5 x 10^-5)
pH = 4.19

The pH of the benzoic acid solution is 4.19 which is acidic, but a weak acid.
