Radioactive material obeys 1st order decay kinetics,
For 1st order reaction, we have 
k = \frac{2.303}{t}Xlog \frac{\text{initial conc.}}{\text{final conc.}}
where, k = rate constant of reaction

Given: Initial conc. 100, Final conc. = 6.25, t = 18.9 hours

∴ k = \frac{2.303}{18.9} X log \frac{100}{6.25} = 0.1467 hours^(-1)

Now, for 1st order reactions: half life = \frac{0.693}{k} =  \frac{0.693}{0.1467} = 4.723 hours.

Which of the following claims may be made based on your observations? (You will recieve negative points for wrong answers.)
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

D, E and F

Explanation:

About tetrachloro cobalt complexes, the following facts have been observed  

  • Color of the tetrachloro cobalt complexes is blue.
  • They do not decompose on heating that means synthesis of tetra chloro is endothermic.

About hexa aqua cobalt complexes, the following facts have been observed  

  • Color of the hexa aqua cobalt complexes is pink color.
  • They decompose on heating and remain stable on cooling that means process of synthesis of hexa aqua cobalt complexes is exothermic.

Based on above, the correct statements are:

The correct is chloro cobalt complex is blue and aqua cobalt  

complex is pink.  

The chloro complex is favored by heating.

If the chloro complex is a product, then the reaction must be endothermic.

The correct options are D, E and F.

Answer : (4) Chromatography

Explanation :

Chromatography : It is a separation technique of a mixture by passing it through a medium in which components travels at different rates.

There are many types of chromatography but this is paper chromatography.

Paper chromatography : It is used to separate the colored substances. In paper chromatography, water is the mobile phase and paper is the stationary phase. The mixture of components moves at different speeds through the stationary phase so that they can be separated.

In paper chromatography, several colors can be separated based on their solubility. The more soluble a color is, the more readily it will dissolve in mobile phase and farther it will travel.
