Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to use the expression of half life decay of concentration (or mass) which is the following:

m = m₀e^-kt  (1)

In this case, k will be the constant rate of this element. This is calculated using the following expression:

k = ln2/t₁/₂  (2)

Let's calculate the value of k first:

k = ln2/2.7 = 0.2567 d⁻¹

Now, we can use the expression (1) to calculate the remaining mass:

m = 8.1 * e^(-0.2567 * 2.6)

m = 8.1 * e^(-0.6674)

m = 8.1 * 0.51303

m = 4.16 mg remaining

2. To what volume will you have to dilute 20.0 ml of a 8 M HCl solution to make a 0.35 M
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

You need to dilute 8 M HCl to 0.35 M to make 457 mL.

Explanation:

Use the equation M₁V₁=M₂V₂

Convert the mL to L : 20 mL= 0.02 L

8 M x 0.02 L = 0.35 M x V₂

V₂ = 0.4571429 L = 457 mL

Match the following reactions with the reaction type. You may use each type more than once.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

1) Decomposition

2)Double-replacement reaction

3)synthesis

4)Double-replacement reaction

5)single-replacement reaction

6)Double-replacement reaction

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Synthesis: This is a reaction where two or more reactants will combine to form a new, single product. This is  occurs when two or more reactants combine to form a single product.  This can be shown with the following equation.

A + B → C

A and B are the reactants to form a new product C

Decomposition: This is a reaction where 1 (more complex) compound will be broken down into 2 or more (more simple)  products.

This can be shown by the following equation:

AB → A + B

A single replacement: This is a reaction where one element wil be replaced by another element in the same compound. This can be shown by the following equation:

A + BC → B + AC

Here is the elemnt B in the compound BC, replaced by the element A, to form a new compound AC

A double-replacement: This is a reaction where the positive and negative ions of two ionic compounds will be exchanged and 2 new compounds willbe formed. This can be shown by the following equation:

AB+CD→AD+BC

A combustion reaction requires oxygen gas (O2) to produce the  products CO2 and H2O

Step 2:

1) 2HgO(s) → 2Hg(l) + O2(g)

⇒ Decomposition

2) KCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) → AgCl(s) + KNO3(aq)

⇒  Double-replacement reaction

3) 2Na(s) + H2(g) → 2NaH(s)

⇒ synthesis

4) Mg(OH)2(aq) + 2HNO2(aq) → Mg(NO2)2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

⇒  Double-replacement reaction

5) Ca(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) → Ca(NO3)2(aq) + Ag(s)

⇒  Single-replacement reaction

6) Al2O3(s) + H2SO4(aq) → Al2(SO4)3(aq) + H2O(l)

⇒  Double-replacement reaction
