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%

What is the coefficient for H2O when the equation ? Ca(OH)2(aq) + ? H3PO4(aq) → ? Ca3(PO4)2(s) + ? H2O(ℓ) is balanced using the
kari74 [83]

Answer:

Coefficient of H_{2}O in the balanced equation with smallest possible integer is 6.

Explanation:

Unbalanced equation: Ca(OH)_{2}(aq.)+H_{3}PO_{4}(aq.)\rightarrow Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)+H_{2}O(l)

Balance Ca: 3Ca(OH)_{2}(aq.)+H_{3}PO_{4}(aq.)\rightarrow Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)+H_{2}O(l)

Balance PO_{4}  : 3Ca(OH)_{2}(aq.)+2H_{3}PO_{4}(aq.)\rightarrow Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)+H_{2}O(l)

Balance H and O: 3Ca(OH)_{2}(aq.)+2H_{3}PO_{4}(aq.)\rightarrow Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)+6H_{2}O(l)

Balanced equation: 3Ca(OH)_{2}(aq.)+2H_{3}PO_{4}(aq.)\rightarrow Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(s)+6H_{2}O(l)

So coefficient of H_{2}O in the balanced equation with smallest possible integer is 6.
