According to Henderson–Hasselbalch Equation,

                                    pH  =  pKa + log [Acetate] / [Acetic Acid]

As,
           pKa = -log Ka
           pKa = -log (1.8 × 10⁻⁵)
           pKa =  4.74
So,
                               pH  =  4.74 + log [Acetate] / [Acetic Acid]

                                  4.34  =  4.74 + log [Acetate] / [Acetic Acid]

                        4.34 - 4.74  = log [Acetate] / [Acetic Acid]

                                 -0.40  =  log [Acetate] / [Acetic Acid]

Taking Antilog on both sides,

               [Acetate] / [Acetic Acid]  =  0.398

If the half life of iridium-182 is 15 years, how much of a 3 gram sample is left after 2 half-lives?
padilas [110]

Answer:

D. 0.75 grams

Explanation:

The data given on the iridium 182 are;

The half life of the iridium 182, t_{(1/2)} = 15 years

The mass of the sample of iridium, N₀ = 3 grams

The amount left, N(t) after two half lives is given as follows;

N(t) = N_0 \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^{\dfrac{t}{t_{1/2}} }

For two half lives, t = 2 × t_{(1/2)}

∴ t = 2 × 15 = 30

\dfrac{t}{t_{(1/2)}} = \dfrac{30}{15} = 2

\therefore N(t) = 3 \times\left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^2 = 0.75

∴ The amount left, N(t) = 0.75 grams
