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

In an experiment, 107.9 grams of H2SO, is produced when 196.2 grams
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

54.99% yield

Explanation:

percent yield is just the amount you obtained over the amount expected times 100%.

(experimental value/theoretical value) x 100%

= (107.9 g/196.2 g) x 100%

=54.99% yield

If it takes 20.4 mL of NaOH(aq) to reach the equivalence point of the titration, what is the molarity of H2SO4(aq)? For your ans
Alik [6]

Question is incomplete, complete question is;

A 34.8 mL solution of H_2SO_4 (aq) of an unknown concentration was titrated with 0.15 M of NaOH(aq).

H_2SO_4(aq)+2NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Na_2SO_4(aq)+2H_2O(l)

If it takes 20.4 mL of NaOH(aq) to reach the equivalence point of the titration, what is the molarity of H_2SO_4(aq)? For your answer, only type in the numerical value with two significant figures. Do NOT include the unit.

Answer:

0.044 M is the molarity of H_2SO_4(aq).

Explanation:

The reaction taking place here is in between acid and base which means that it is a neutralization reaction .

To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is H_2SO_4

n_1,M_2\text{ and }V_2  are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

n_1=2\\M_1=?\\V_1=34.8 mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.15 M\\V_2=20.4 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

2\times M_1\times 34.8 mL=1\times 0.15 M\times 20.4 mL\\\\M_1=\frac{1\times 0.15 M\times 20.4 mL\times 10}{2\times 34.8 mL}=0.044 M

0.044 M is the molarity of H_2SO_4(aq).
