If this decay has a half life of 2.60 years, what mass of 72.5 g of sodium 22 will remain after 15.6 years

Chemistry

Sodium-22 remain : 1.13 g

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.  

Usually, radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.  

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{T/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

T = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

half-life = t 1/2=2.6 years

T=15.6 years

No=72.5 g

\tt Nt=72.5.\dfrac{1}{2}^{15.6/2.6}\\\\Nt=72.5.\dfrac{1}{2}^6\\\\Nt=1.13~g

I need help identifying the type of reactions. Can anyone help?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Reaction 5: Decomposition reaction.

Reaction 6: Single replacement reaction

Reaction 7: Combination reaction.

Reaction 8: Combustion reaction.

Explanation:

<u><em>Reaction 5:</em></u>    2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂.

  • It is a decomposition reaction.
  • A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which a single compound breaks down into two or more elements or new compounds.
  • In this reaction: potassium chlorate decomposes into two single components (potassium chloride and oxygen).
  • So, it is a decomposition reaction.

<u><em>Reaction 6:</em></u> Zn + 2HCl → H₂ + ZnCl₂.

  • It is a single replacement reaction.
  • A single-replacement reaction, a single-displacement reaction, is a reaction by which one (or more) element(s) replaces an/other element(s) in a compound.
  • It is most often occur if element is more reactive than the other, thus giving a more stable product.
  • In this reaction, zinc metal (more active) displaces the hydrogen to form hydrogen gas and zinc chloride, a salt. Zinc reacts quickly with the acid to form bubbles of hydrogen.

<u><em>Reaction 7:</em></u> N₂O₅ + H₂O → 2HNO₃.

  • It is a combination "synthesis" reaction.
  • A synthesis reaction has two or more reactants and only one product.
  • In this reaction, dinitrogen pentoxide reacts with water to produce nitric acid.
  • So, it is considered as a synthetic "combination" reaction.

<u><em>Reaction 8:</em></u> 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ →  4CO₂ + 6H₂O.

  • It is a combustion reaction.
  • A combustion reaction is a reaction where hydrocarbon alkane is completely burned in oxygen to produce water and carbon dioxide.
  • In this reaction 1.0 mole of ethane is burned to give 4.0 moles of carbon dioxide and 6.0 moles of water.
  • So, it is considered as a combustion reaction.
