Answer:

= 3/4

Explanation:

Half life is the time taken by a radioactove element to decay by half of its original mass.

The half life of tritium is 12.3 years , therefore it would take 12.3 years for tritium to decay to a half its original mass.

Using the formula;

New mass = Initial mass × (1/2)^n ; where n is the number of half lives.

n = 5.2 years/12.3 years

  = 52/123

Therefore;

New mass = 1 × (1/2)^(52/123)

                  = 0.74599

                  = 0.75

The fraction of a tritium sample after 5.20 years will be approximately 3/4

The potential in an electrochemical cell, E, is related to the Gibb's free energy change (ΔG) for the overall cell redox reactio
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Explanation:

As an example, the following cell reaction: Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq) → Zn2+(aq) + Cu(m) generates a cell voltage of +1.10 V under standard conditions. Calculate and enter delta G degree (with 3 sig figs) for this reaction in kJ/mol.

Zn(s) + Cu2+(aq) → Zn2+(aq) + Cu(m)

ΔG = ΔG° + RTInQ

Q = 1

ΔG = ΔG°

ΔG = =nFE°

n=no of electrons transfered.

E° = 1.1v

ΔG° = -2 * 96500 * 1.10

= -212300J

ΔG° =-212.3kJ/mol

<h3>Therefore, the ΔG° = -212.3kJ/mol</h3>

7) How many grams of HCl will be produced with 16.2 grams of H2 and excess Cl2? H2 + Cl2 -&gt; 2HCl
Westkost [7]

Use the atomic weights of H and Cl to calculate the answer to question 7. For H, it is 1. For Cl it is 35.45.

<span>The ratio of H to Cl in HCL is 1:1. Therefore, 16.2 grams of H means that there will be 16.2 * 35.45 grams of Cl within the resulting HCl. Therefore, the grams of HCl will be 16.2 grams + 574.29 grams = 590.5 grams of HCl</span>
