Answer:

False

Explanation:

Half life is the time period at which the concentration of the radioactive substance in decay reduced to half.

<u>Thus, if the hydrogen-3 has gone 2 half lives, it means that it has first reduced to its half and then again the half of what it was, i.e. 1/4</u>

Thus, after two successive half-lives, the concentration must be 1/4 of the initial concentration and hence, the statement is false.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

1. Rate =k [NO]^{2}[Cl_{2}]

2. k= 0.42 \frac{L^{2}}{mol^{2}*s}

Explanation:

Rate =k [NO]^{m}[Cl_{2}]^{n}

Rate1 = k[0.4]^{m}[0.3]^{n}=0.02\\Rate 2=k [0.8]^{m}[0.3}]^{n}=0.08\\\\\frac{Rate1}{Rate2}=\frac{0.02}{0.08} =\frac{k[0.4]^{m}[0.3]^{n}}{k[0.8]^{m}[0.3]^n}} \\\\\frac{1}{4} =(\frac{1}{2} )^{m},\\m=2

Rate3 =k [0.8]^{m}[0.6]^{n}=0.16\\Rate 2= k[0.8]^{m}[0.3}]^{n}=0.08\\\\\frac{Rate3}{Rate2}=\frac{0.16}{0.08} =\frac{k[0.8]^{m}[0.6]^{n}}{k[0.8]^{m}[0.3]^n}} \\\\\frac{2}{1} =(\frac{2}{1} )^{n},\\n=1

Rate =k [NO]^{2}[Cl_{2}]^{1}

Rate =k [NO]^{2}[Cl_{2}]^{1}\\Rate 1=k [0.4]^{2}[0.3]^{1} =0.02\\k*0.16*0.3=0.02\\k=\frac{0.02}{0.16*0.3}=\frac{1}{8*(\frac{3}{10} )}=\frac{5}{12}  = 0.42 \frac{L^{2}}{mol^{2}*s}

What is the mass of 3.0 x 10^23 atoms of neon
anzhelika [568]


3.0e23 atoms Ne

"E" means 10^

Then we multiply it by a mole of Ne. By the definetion of a mole, it is always 6.022e23 atoms of an element.

So now, we do this:

3.0e23 atoms Ne x (1 mol Ne / 6.022e23 atoms Ne)

After that, we use molar mass. A mole of Neon is equal, in terms of grams, to its avg. atomic mass. This goes true for any element.

It ends up like this:

3.0e23 atoms Ne x (1 mol Ne / 6.022e23 atoms Ne) x (20.1797 g Ne / 1 mol Ne)

Now cancel out the "atoms Ne" and "1 mol Ne"

You end up with a grand total of...
*plugs everything into a calculator*

10.05298... g Ne.

We need to round to 2 sig. figs. (3.0) so now it's....

10 g Ne.

Note that this method can only be used for converting atoms of an element to mass in grams.

How to do dots and cross diagrams
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Draw circles to represent the electron shell of each atom overlapping the circles where the atoms are bonded. Add dots to represent the outer electrons of one type of atom (H). Add crosses to represent the outer electrons of the other type of atom (Cl). Make sure the electrons are always in pairs.
