A scientist digs up sample of arctic ice that is 458,000 years old. He takes it to his lab and finds that it contains 1.675 gram

s of krypton-81.
If the half-life of krypton-81 is 229,000 years, how much krypton-81 was present when the ice first formed?

Use the formula N = N0 .

Answer:

6.70 grams of krypton-81 was present when the ice first formed

Explanation:

Let use the below formula to find the amount of sample

$N= N_0(\frac{1}{2})^n$

where

$n = \frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}$

here

t = 458,000 years

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ = 229,000

$\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}$ = \ $\frac{ 458,000}{229,000}$

n = $\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}$ = 2.000

Now substituting the values

$1.675 = N_0(\frac{1}{2})^{2.000}}$

$1.675 = N_0\times (0.2500)$

$N_0= \frac{1.675}{0.2500}$

$N_0=6.70$

The water in a pressure cooker boils at a temperature greater than 100°C because it is under pressure. At this higher temperatur

vazorg [7]

Answer:

the activation energy Ea = 179.176 kJ/mol

it will take 7.0245 mins for the same food to cook in an open pot of boiling water at an altitude of 10000 feet.

Explanation:

From the given information

$T_1 = 100^0 C = 100+273 = 373 \ K \\ \\ T_2 = 113^0 C = 113 + 273 = 386 \ K$

$R_1 = \dfrac{1}{7}$

$R_2 = \dfrac{1}{49}$

Thus; $\dfrac{R_2}{R_1} = 7$

Because at 113.0°C; the rate is 7 time higher than at 100°C

Hence:

$In (7) = \dfrac{Ea}{8.314}( \dfrac{1}{373}- \dfrac{1}{386})$

1.9459 = $\dfrac{Ea}{8.314}* 9.0292 *10^{-5}$

$1.9459*8.314 = Ea * 9.0292*10^{-5}$

$16.1782126= Ea * 9.0292*10^{-5}$

$Ea = \dfrac{16.1782126}{ 9.0292*10^{-5}}$

Ea = 179.176 kJ/mol

Thus; the activation energy Ea = 179.176 kJ/mol

b)

here;

$T_2 = 386 \ K \\ \\T_1 = (89.8 + 273)K = 362.8 \ K$

$In(\dfrac{R_2}{R_1})= \dfrac{Ea}{R}(\dfrac{1}{T_1}- \dfrac{1}{T_2})$

$In(\dfrac{R_2}{R_1})= \dfrac{179.176}{8.314}(\dfrac{1}{362.8}- \dfrac{1}{386})$

$In (\dfrac{R_2}{R_1}) = 0.00357$

$\dfrac{R_2}{R_1}= e^{0.00357}$

$\dfrac{R_2}{R_1}= 1.0035$

where ;

$R_2 = \dfrac{1}7{}$

$R_1 = \dfrac{1}{t}$

Now;

$\dfrac{t}{7}= 1.0035$

t = 7.0245 mins

Therefore; it will take 7.0245 mins for the same food to cook in an open pot of boiling water at an altitude of 10000 feet.

Given the partial equation: NO3− Pb2 → NO2 Pb4 , balance the reaction in acidic solution using the half-reaction method and fill

Fed [463]

Answer : The balanced reaction in acidic solution is,

$2NO_3^-+1Pb^{2+}+4H^+\rightarrow 2NO_2+1Pb^{4+}+2H_2O$

Explanation :

The given partial equation is,

$NO_3^-+Pb^{2+}\rightarrow NO_2+Pb^{4+}$

First we have to separate into half reaction. The two half reactions are:

$NO_3^-\rightarrow NO_2$

$Pb^{2+}\rightarrow Pb^{4+}$

Now we have to balance the half reactions in acidic medium, we get:

$NO_3^-+2H^++1e^-\rightarrow NO_2+H_2O$ ............(1)

$Pb^{2+}\rightarrow Pb^{4+}+2e^-$ ............(2)

Now we have to balance the electrons of the half reactions. When we are multiplying the equation (1) by 2, we get

$2NO_3^-+4H^++2e^-\rightarrow 2NO_2+2H_2O$ ...........(3)

Now we have to add both the half reactions (2) and (3), we get the final balanced chemical reaction.

$2NO_3^-+1Pb^{2+}+4H^+\rightarrow 2NO_2+1Pb^{4+}+2H_2O$
