Answer:

8.625 grams of a 150 g sample of Thorium-234  would be left after 120.5 days

Explanation:

The nuclear half life represents the time taken for the initial amount of sample  to reduce into half of its mass.

We have given that the half life of thorium-234 is 24.1 days. Then it takes 24.1 days for a Thorium-234 sample to reduced to half of its initial amount.

Initial amount of Thorium-234 available as per the question is 150 grams

So now  we start with 150 grams  of Thorium-234

150 \times \frac{1}{2}=24.1

75 \times \frac{1}{2} =48.2

34.5 \times \frac{1}{2} =72.3

17.25 \times \frac{1}{2} =96.4

8.625\times \frac{1}{2} =120.5

So after 120.5 days the amount of sample that remains is 8.625g

In simpler way , we can use the below formula to find the sample left

A=A_{0} \cdot \frac{1}{2^{n}}

Where

A_0  is the initial sample amount  

n = the number of half-lives that pass in a given period of time.

How many moles of PC15 can be produced from 58.0 g of Cl₂ (and excess<br> P4)?
ludmilkaskok [199]

0.3268 moles of PC15 can be produced from 58.0 g of Cl₂ (and excess

P4)

<h3>How to calculate moles?</h3>

The balanced chemical equation is

P_{4}  + 10Cl_{2}  = 4PCl_{5}

The mass of clorine is m(Cl_{2}) = 58.0 g

The amount of clorine is n(Cl_{2}) = m(Cl_{2})/M(Cl_{2}) = 58/70.906 = 0.817 mol

The stoichiometric reaction,shows that

10 moles of Cl_{2} yield 4 moles of PCl_{5};

0.817 of Cl_{2} yield x moles of PCl_{5}

n(PCl_{5}) = 4*0.817/10 = 0.3268 mol

Answer:

Alright the very first thing you need to do is balance the equation:

2HCl + Na2CO3 -----> 2NaCl + CO2 + H2O

Now we need to find the limiting reactant by converting the volume to moles of both HCl and Na2CO3.

Volume x Concentration/molarity = moles

0.235L x 0.6 M = 0.141 moles / molar ratio of 2 = 0.0705 moles of HCl

0.094L x 0.75 M = 0.0705 moles /molar ratio of 1  = 0.0705 moles of Na2CO3

Since both of the moles are equal, it means the entire reaction is complete (while the identification of limiting reactant may seem like an unnecessary step, it's quite essential in stoichiometry, so keep an eye out) and there is no excess of any reactant.

Now we know that the product we want to calculate is aqueous so, following the law of conservation of mass, we should add both volumes together to calculate how much volume we could get for NaCl.

0.235 + 0.094 = 0.329L of NaCl

Now we apply the C1V1 = C2V2 equation using the concentration and volume of Na2CO3 because it's molar ratio is one to one to NaCl (You can also use HCL, but you have to divide their moles by 2 for the molar ratio)  and the volume we just calculated for NaCl.

(0.75M) x (0.094L) = C2 x (0.329L)

Rearrange equation to solve for C2:

<u>(0.75M) x (0.094L)</u>  =  C2

    (0.329L)

C2 = 0.214 M (Rounded)

<u>When the reaction is finished, the NaCl solution will have a molarity concentration of 0.214 M.</u>
