What would the percentage of thorium-232 (parent compound) be in a rock that was dated at 2.8 billions years?

Chemistry

5 0

The half-life of Th-232 is 1.405 × 10¹⁰ years  

Time elapsed = 2.8 x 10⁹ years  

Equation of radioactive decay:

A = A₀ = (1/2)^ t/t₁/₂

where A₀ is the initial amount, A is the amount after time t, t₁/₂ is the half file

The fraction of thorium-232 that remains in the rock after 2.8 billions years is,

A/A₀ = (1/2) ^ (2.8 x 10⁹/ 1.405 × 10¹⁰) = 0.871

Therefore, the percentage of thorium-232 in the rock that was dated at 2.8 billions year = 87.1%

Which energy profile best shows that the enthalpy of formation of CS2 is 89.4 KJ/mol?
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Option C. Energy Profile D

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Enthalpy change ΔH = 89.4 KJ/mol.

Enthalpy change (ΔH) is simply defined as the difference between the heat of product (Hp) and the heat of reactant (Hr). Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Enthalpy change (ΔH) = Heat of product (Hp) – Heat of reactant (Hr)

ΔH = Hp – Hr

Note: If the enthalpy change (ΔH) is positive, it means that the product has a higher heat content than the reactant.

If the enthalpy change (ΔH) is negative, it means that the reactant has a higher heat content than the product.

Now, considering the question given, the enthalpy change (ΔH) is 89.4 KJ/mol and it is a positive number indicating that the heat content of the product is higher than the heat content of the reactant.

Therefore, Energy Profile D satisfy the enthalpy change (ΔH) for the formation of CS2 as it indicates that the heat content of product is higher than the heat content of the reactant.

A pharmaceutical company wants to test the efficiency of its new drug production techniques so they run 3 shifts of production f
spayn [35]

The percentage yield of the  new production technique is 82.8%

<h3>What is the percentage yield?</h3>

Production is the procedure by which finished products are obtained form the raw materials. The production process involves the passing of raw materials through a certain procedure that involves the use of certain machines and equipment to give us the required products.

We are told in the question that there are three shifts;

Shift 1 produces 4562 grams

Shift 2 produces 5783 grams

Shift 3 produces 5247 grams

Average production from the three shifts = 4562 grams + 5783 grams +  5247 grams/3 = 5197 grams

The theoretical average yield is =  7000 grams + 7000 grams + 7000 grams/3 = 7000 grams

Now the percentage yield = actual yield/ theoretical yield * 100/1

percentage yield = 5197 grams/7000 grams * 100/1

percentage yield = 82.8%

How many particles are there in 5.0 moles​
grigory [225]

Answer:

3.01 × 10^24 particles

Explanation:

According to Avagadro, in one mole of a substance, there are 6.02 × 10^23 atoms or particles.

Using the formula: N = n × NA

Where;

N= number of particles or atoms

n = number of moles

NA = Avagadro's constant or number

This means that for 5 moles of a substance, there will be:

5 × 6.02 × 10^23

= 30.1 × 10^23

= 3.01 × 10^24 particles
