Answer:

After 18 hours, the amount of pure technetium that will be remaining is 12.5 grams

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that the equation for half life is as follows;

N(t) = N_0 (\frac{1}{2} )^{\frac{t}{t_{1/2}}

Where:

N(t) = Quantity of the remaining substance  = Required quantity

N₀ = Initial radioactive substance quantity  = 100 g

t = Time duration  = 18 hours

{t_{1/2} = Half life of the radioactive substance  = 6 hours

Therefore, plugging in the values, we have;

N(t) = 100 (\frac{1}{2} )^{\frac{18}{6}} = 100 (\frac{1}{2} )^{3} =  \frac{100 }{8} = 12.5 \ grams

Therefore, after 18 hours, the amount of pure technetium that will be remaining = 12.5 grams.

How many grams of ice at -13 deg C must be added to 711 grams of water that is initially at a temperature of 87 deg C to produce
Basile [38]

Answer:

The answer to your question is m = 4.7 kg

Explanation:

Data

Ice                                   Water

mass = ?                          mass = 711 g

T₁ = -13°C                         T₁ = 87°C

T₂ = 10°C                         T₂ = 10°C

Ch = 2090 J/kg°K          Cw = 4180 J/kg°K

Process

1.- Convert temperature to kelvin

T₁ = 273 + (-13) = 260°K

T₁ water = 87 + 273 = 360 °K

T₂ = 10 + 273 = 283°K

2.- Write the equation of interchange of heat

                 - Heat lost = Heat absorbed

               - mwCw(T₂ - T₁) = miCi(T₂ - T₁)

-Substitution

              - 0.711(4180)(10 - 87) = m(2090)(10 - (-13))

- Simplification

                            228842.46 = 48070m

                            m = 228842.46/48070

-Result

                            m = 4.7 kg

What is the mass in grams of 1 liter of nitrogen gas?
AlladinOne [14]

Assuming the volume of the gas is measured at standard temperature and pressure, Then one mole of the Gas would occupy 22.4 liters.

Therefore, 1 liter is 1/224 moles

one mole of nitrogen 14 is 14

Therefore 1 liter of the nitrogen weighs 1/224×14

0.0625 grams
