Answer:

A) 3.17 g of Zn

Explanation:

Let's consider the reduction of Zn(II) that occurs in an electrolysis bath.

Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻ → Zn(s)

We can establish the following relations:

  • 1 min = 60 s
  • 1 A = 1 C/s
  • The charge of 1 mole of electrons is 96,468 C (Faraday's constant).
  • When 2 moles of electrons circulate, 1 mole of Zn is deposited.
  • The molar mass of Zn is 65.38 g/mol

The mass of Zn deposited under these conditions is:

24min \times \frac{60s}{1min} \times \frac{6.5C}{s} \times \frac{1mol\ e^{-} }{96,468C} \times \frac{1molZn}{2mol\ e^{-}}  \times \frac{65.38g}{1molZn} = 3.17 g

Write the half-reactions as they occur at each electrode and the net cell reaction for this electrochemical cell containing indi
AlexFokin [52]

Explanation:

The given cell reaction is as follows.

       In(s)| In^{3+}(aq) || Cd^{2+}(aq) | Cd(s)

Hence, reactions taking place at the cathode and anode are as follows.

At anode ; Oxidation-half reaction : In(s) \rightarrow In^{3+}(aq) + 3e^{-} ...... (1)

At cathode; Reduction-half reaction : Cd^{2+}(aq) + 2e^{-} \rightarrow Cd(s) ....... (2)

Hence, balance the half reactions by multiplying equation (1) by 2 and equation (2) by 3.

Therefore, net cell reaction is as follows.

      2In(s) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 6e^{-}

      3Cd^{2+}(aq) + 6e^{-} \rightarrow 3Cd(s)

Net reaction: 2In(s) + 3Cd^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 3Cd(s)

Thus, we can conclude that the overall cell reaction is as follows.

        2In(s) + 3Cd^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 3Cd(s)

Thorium-234 has a half-life of 24.1 days. How many grams of a 150 g sample would you have after 120.5 days?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

8.625 grams of a 150 g sample of Thorium-234  would be left after 120.5 days

Explanation:

The nuclear half life represents the time taken for the initial amount of sample  to reduce into half of its mass.

We have given that the half life of thorium-234 is 24.1 days. Then it takes 24.1 days for a Thorium-234 sample to reduced to half of its initial amount.

Initial amount of Thorium-234 available as per the question is 150 grams

So now  we start with 150 grams  of Thorium-234

150 \times \frac{1}{2}=24.1

75 \times \frac{1}{2} =48.2

34.5 \times \frac{1}{2} =72.3

17.25 \times \frac{1}{2} =96.4

8.625\times \frac{1}{2} =120.5

So after 120.5 days the amount of sample that remains is 8.625g

In simpler way , we can use the below formula to find the sample left

A=A_{0} \cdot \frac{1}{2^{n}}

Where

A_0  is the initial sample amount  

n = the number of half-lives that pass in a given period of time.
