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%

A lab technician mixes a 0.730 M solution of sodium bromide (NaBr) and water. The volume of the solution is 135 milliliters.
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

We need 10.14 grams of sodium bromide to make a 0.730 M solution

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molarity of the sodium bromide (NaBr) = 0.730 M

Volume of the sodium bromide solution = 135 mL = 0.135 L

Molar mass sodium bromide (NaBr) = 102.89 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles NaBr

Moles NaBr = Molarity NaBr * volume NaBr

Moles NaBr = 0.730 M * 0.135 L

Moles NaBr = 0.09855 moles

Step 3: Calculate mass of NaBr

Mass NaBr = 0.09855 moles * 102.89 g/mol

Mass NaBr = 10.14 grams

We need 10.14 grams of sodium bromide to make a 0.730 M solution

3) In the Hydrolysis of Disaccharides and Polysaccharides portion of the lab, starch should give one positive iodine test and on
AfilCa [17]

Answer: potassium iodide is the basic test for starch,and the positive test is blue-black coloration, any other test substance which is not starch will give a negative results.

Explanation:

Starch is an example of  polysaccharide  and since the standard test for it is potassium iodide solution, it gives a positive test.

Diasaccharides e.g maltose are reducing sugars.their standard test is BENEDICT test .

Therefore, in the hydrolysis;  starch should give a positve test, while Diasaccharides should give negative rest.

The half-reaction occurring at the cathode in the balanced reaction shown below is __________?2Ag(s) + 1/2 O2(g) + 2H+(aq) → 2Ag
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Correct choice are C and D (they are both, the same).

Explanation:

Cathode is the positive(+) electrode where a reduction occurs.

Reduction is the chemical reaction where the oxidation state is reduced.

2Ag(s) + 1/2 O2(g) + 2H+(aq) → 2Ag+(aq) + H2O (l)

A. 2H2O (l) → O2 (g) + 4H+ (aq) + 4e-

B. 2Ag (s) → 2Ag+ (aq) + 2e-

C. 1/2 O2 (g) + 2H+ (aq) + 2e- → H2O (l)

D. 1/2 O2 (g) + 2H+ (aq) + 2e- → H2O (l)

C or D, are ok. They are the same equation.

Oxygen from ground state reduce the oxidation state from 0 to -2
