Answer:

5.8μg

Explanation:

According to the rate or decay law:

N/N₀ = exp(-λt)------------------------------- (1)

Where N = Current quantity,  μg

            N₀ = Original quantity, μg

             λ= Decay constant day⁻¹

              t =  time in days

Since the half life is 4.5 days, we can calculate the  λ from (1) by  substituting N/N₀ = 0.5

0.5 = exp (-4.5λ)

ln 0.5  = -4.5λ

-0.6931 = -4.5λ

λ =   -0.6931 /-4.5

  =0.1540 day⁻¹

Substituting into (1)  we have :

N/N₀ = exp(-0.154t)----------------------------- (2)

To receive 5.0 μg of the nuclide with a delivery time of 24 hours or 1 day:

N = 5.0 μg

N₀ = Unknown

t = 1 day

Substituting into (2) we have

[5/N₀]   = exp (-0.154 x 1)

    5/N₀        = 0.8572

N₀  =  5/0.8572

     =    5.8329μg

    ≈     5.8μg

The Chemist must order 5.8μg  of 47-CaCO3

What is the percent yield of LiCl if I produced 30.85g LiCl and my theoretical yield was calculated to be 35.40g LiCl?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

87.15%

Explanation:

To find percent yield, we can use this simple equation

\frac{Actual}{Theoretical} *100

Where "Actual" is the amount in grams actually collected from the reaction, and "Theoretical" is, well, the theoretical amount that should have been produced.

They give us these values, so to find the percent yield, just plug the numbers in.

\frac{30.85}{35.40} *100\\\\ =87.15

So, the percent yield is 87.15%

An easy trick to remember how to do this is just to divide the smaller number by the bigger number and move the decimal back two places. If you have a percent yield greater than 100%, something is wrong in the reaction.
