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

A 200.0 mL solution of 0.40 M ammonium chloride was titrated with 0.80 M sodium hydroxide. What was the pH of the solution after
choli [55]

Answer:

9.25

Explanation:

Let first find the moles of NH_4Cl and NaOH

number of moles of NH_4Cl = 0.40  mol/L × 200 ×  10⁻³L

= 0.08 mole

number of moles of NaOH = 0.80  mol/L × 50 ×  10⁻³L

= 0.04 mole

The equation for the reaction is expressed as:

NH^+_{4(aq)} \ + OH^-_{(aq)} ------> NH_{3(g)} \ + H_2O_{(l)}

The ICE Table is shown below as follows:

                            NH^+_{4(aq)} \ + OH^-_{(aq)} ------> NH_{3(g)} \ + H_2O_{(l)}

Initial (M)              0.08            0.04                            0

Change (M)         - 0.04          -0.04                          + 0.04

Equilibrium (M)      0.04             0                                0.04

K_a*K_b = 10^{-14} \ at \ 25^0C

K_a = \frac{10^{-14}}{K_b}

K_a = \frac{10^{-14}}{1.76*10^{-5}}

K_a= 5.68*10^{10}

pK_a = - log \ (K_a)

pK_a = - log \ (5.68*10^{-10})

pK_a = 9.25

pH = pKa + \ log (\frac{HB}{HA} )   for buffer solutions

pH = pKa + \ log (\frac{moles \ of \ base }{ moles\ of \ acid} ) since they are in the same solution

pH = 9.25 + \ log (\frac{0.04 }{ 0.04} )

pH = 9.25
