Answer:
590 g CaCl₂
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>
- Reading a Periodic Table
- Using Dimensional Analysis
Explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
5.3 mol CaCl₂
<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>
Molar Mass of Ca - 40.08 g/mol
Molar Mass of Cl - 35.45 g/mol
Molar Mass of CaCl₂ - 40.08 + 2(35.45) = 110.98 g/mol
<u>Step 3: Convert</u>
<u /> = 588.194 g CaCl₂
<u>Step 4: Check</u>
<em>We are given 2 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>
588.194 g CaCl₂ ≈ 590 g CaCl₂
Answer : The half-life of the compound is, 145 years.
Explanation :
First we have to calculate the rate constant.
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant = ?
t = time passed by the sample = 60.0 min
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100 g
a - x = amount left after decay process = 100 - 25 = 75 g
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get
Now we have to calculate the half-life of the compound.
Therefore, the half-life of the compound is, 145 years.
