The kidneys will excrete increased quantities of acid.

Explanation:

The kidneys will excrete excess H+ ions in the blood (remember H+ ions are responsible for acidity) until the acid-base balance is restored in the blood. Bicarbonates, on the other hand, will be aggressively  reabsorbed by the renal tubules as the excess H+ are being excreted.

The acid base balance is mainly determined by the quantities of H⁺ and HCO₃⁻ ions in teh blood. These ions come from the dissociation of carbonic acid formed when carbon dioxide from tissues is dissolved in blood plasma.

A sample contains 25% parent isotope and 75% daughter isotopes. If the half-life of the parent isotope is 72 years, how old is t
alisha [4.7K]

The radioactive decay obeys first order kinetics

the rate law expression for radioactive decay is

ln\frac{[A_{0}]}{[A_{t}]}=kt

Where

A0 = initial concentration

At = concentration after time "t"

t = time

k = rate constant

For first order reaction the relation between rate constant and half life is:

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2} } }

Let us calculate k

k = 0.693 / 72 = 0.009625 years⁻¹

Given

At = 0.25 A0

ln(\frac{A0}{0.25A0})=0.009625  X time

time = 144 years

So after 144 years the sample contains 25% parent isotope and 75% daughter isotopes**

Simply two half lives

can someone explain how this is wrong? I don’t think it is wrong but my chem teacher deducted points. so why?
ruslelena [56]

Answer: measure the mass (48.425g) of KCl

Explanation:

To prepare the solution 0.65M KCl we must measure the mass of KCl that would be dissolved in 1L of the solution. This can be achieved by:

Molar Mass of KCl = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5g/mol

Number of mole (n) = 0.65

Mass conc of KCl = n x molar Mass

Mass conc of KCl = 0.65 x 74.5 = 48.425g

Therefore, to make 0.65M KCl, we must measure 48.425g
