The general equation for radioactive decay is;
N = N₀e^(-λt)
x - decay constant (λ) - rate of decay
t- time
N - amount remaining after t days , since we are calculating the half life, amount of time it takes for the substance to to be half its original value, its N₀/2
N₀ - amount initially present
substituting the values
N₀/2 = N₀e^(-0.081t)
0.5 = e^(-0.081t)
ln (0.5) = -0.081t
-0.693 = -0.081t
t = 0.693 / 0.081
= 8.55
half life of substance is 8.55 days
Answer:
1. NaN₃(s) → Na(s) + 1.5 N₂(g)
2. 79.3g
Explanation:
<em>1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid sodium azide (NaN₃) into solid sodium and gaseous dinitrogen.</em>
NaN₃(s) → Na(s) + 1.5 N₂(g)
<em>2. Suppose 43.0L of dinitrogen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 13.0°C and pressure of exactly 1atm. Calculate the mass of sodium azide that must have reacted. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.</em>
First, we have to calculate the moles of N₂ from the ideal gas equation.
The moles of NaN₃ are:
The molar mass of NaN₃ is 65.01 g/mol. The mass of NaN₃ is:
Answer:
The group 15 elements: the pnicogens
Explanation:
The group 15 elements, nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony and bismuth, all have the general valence shell electronic configuration ns2np3. They can all exist in the +3 or +5 oxidation state, with the +3 state increasing in stability as we move vertically down the group.
<span>PbO
Let's look at each of the 4 compounds and see what's needed.
PbO.
* Oxygen has a valance shell that's missing 2 electrons and wants to get those 2 elections. Lead donates them, so you have a Lead (II) ions. This is a correct choice.
PbCl4
* Chlorine wants to grab 1 electron to fill it's valance shell and Lead donates that election. However, there's 4 chlorine atoms and every one of them wants and electron, and lead is donating all 4 of the desired electrons making the Lead (IV) ion. So this is a bad choice.
Pb2O
* Oxygen still wants 2 electrons and gets them from the lead. But there's 2 lead atoms and each of them donates 1 election making for 2 Lead(I) ions. So this too is a bad choice.
Pb2S
* Sulfur is in the same column of the periodic table as oxygen and if this compound were to exist would have similar properties as Pb2O and would have Lead(I) ions. So this is a bad choice.</span>
The answer is Photosphere Apex.
