Answer:

Explanation:

a )

m = m₀ e^{-\lambda t

m is mass after time t . original mass is m₀ , λ is disintegration constant

λ = .693 / half life

= .693 / 1590

= .0004358

m = m₀ e^{- 0.0004358 t}

b )

m = 50 x e^{-.0004358\times 500}

= 40.21 mg .

c )

40 = 50 e^{-.0004358t

.8 = e^{-.0004358t

e^{.0004358t = 1.25

.0004358 t = .22314

t = 512 years .

How many grams of water are needed to react with 18.9 grams of li2o? given: li2o+h2oâ2lioh?
4vir4ik [10]
The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows;
Li₂O + H₂O ---> 2LiOH
Stoichiometry of Li₂O to H₂O is 1:1
Mass of Li₂O reacted - 18.9 g
Number of Li₂O moles reacted - 18.9 g / 30 g/mol = 0.63 mol
An equivalent amount of moles of water have reacted - 0.63 mol
mass of water required - 0.63 mol x 18 g/mol = 11.34 g
A mass of 11.34 g of water is required

Calculate the volume of 1M NaOH required to neutralize 200 cc of 2M HCI. What mass of sodium
Nezavi [6.7K]

NaOH+HCl-> NaCl+H2O

1 mole of NaOH

1 mole of HCl.

To calculate volume of NaOH

CaVa/CbVb= Na/Nb

Where Ca=2M

Cb=1M

Va=200cm³

Vb=xcm³

Substitute into the equation.

2×200/1×Vb=1/1

400/Vb=1/1

Cross multiply

Vb×1=400×1

Vb=400cm³

To calculate the mass of sodium chloride, NaCl from the neutralization rxn.

Mole of NaCl=1

Molar mass of NaCl= 23+35.5=58.5

Mass=xgrammes.

Mass of NaCl=Number of moles × Molar mass.

Substitute

Mass of NaCl= 1×58.5

=58.5g

This is what I could come up with.
