A sample of 28 Mg decays initially at a rate of 53500 disintegrations per minute, but the decay rate falls to 10980 disintegrati

ons per minute after 48.0 hours
1.) What is the half life of 28 Mg in hours?



I have no idea how to work this equation. Please show step by step with correct answers so I can try to understand.

Answer : The half life of 28-Mg in hours is, 6.94

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the rate constant.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = time passed by the sample = 48.0 hr

a = initial amount of the reactant disintegrate = 53500

a - x = amount left after decay process disintegrate = 53500 - 10980 = 42520

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

k=\frac{2.303}{48.0}\log\frac{53500}{42520}

k=9.98\times 10^{-2}hr^{-1}

Now we have to calculate the half-life.

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

9.98\times 10^{-2}=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

t_{1/2}=6.94hr

Therefore, the half life of 28-Mg in hours is, 6.94

Answers:

1. 3-ethyl-3-methylheptane; 2. 2,2,3,3-tetramethylpentane; 3. hexa-2,4-diene.

Explanation:

<em>Structure 1 </em>

  1. Identify and name the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms (the main chain has 7 C; ∴ base name = heptane).
  2. Identify and name all the substituents [a 1C substituent (methyl) and a 2C substituent (methyl).
  3. Number the main chain from the end closest to a substituent.
  4. Identify the substituents by the number of the C atom on the main chain. Use hyphens between letters and numbers (3-methyl, 3-ethyl).
  5. Put the names of the substituents in alphabetical order in front of the base name with no spaces (3-ethyl-3-methylheptane)

<em>Structure 2</em>

  1. 5C. Base name = pentane
  2. Four methyl groups.
  3. Number from the left-hand end.
  4. If there is more than one substituent of the same type, identify each substituent by its locating number and use a multiplying prefix to show the number of each substituent. Use commas between numbers (2,2,3,3-tetramethyl).
  5. The name is 2,2,3,3-tetramethylpentane.

<em>Structure 3 </em>

  1. Identify and name the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms that passes through as many double bonds as possible. Drop the <em>-ne</em> ending of the alkane to get the root name <em>hexa-</em>.
  2. (No substituents).
  3. Number the main chain from the end closest to a double bond.
  4. If there is more than one double bond use a multiplying prefix to indicate the number of double bonds (two double bonds = diene) and use the smaller of the two numbers of the C=C atoms as the double bond locators (2,4-diene)
  5. Put the functional group name at the end of the root name (hexa-2,4-diene).

<em>Note</em>: The name 2,4-hexadiene is <em>acceptable</em>, but the <em>Preferred IUPAC Name</em> puts the locating numbers as close as possible in front of the groups they locate.
