Answer:

t = 15 hours

Explanation:

To get this, we need to write the general expression for the mass or concentration in life decay which is the following:

A = Ao * e^(-kt)   (1)

K is a constant decay and depends of the half life. The expression is:

k = ln2 / t₁/₂   (2)

In this question, we have the innitial mass and the final mass, and the time required to get that mass. So, with these data, we first solve for the constant k, and then, use this value to get the half life. In other words, we solve for k in (1) and then, solve for half life in (2):

2 = 16 * e(-45k)

2/16 = e(-45k)

0.125 = e(-45k)

ln(0.125) = -45k

k = -ln(0.125)/45

k = 0.0462 h⁻¹

Now that we have k, let's calculate half life:

t₁/₂ = ln2/k

t₁/₂ = ln2 / 0.0462

t₁/₂ = 15 h

This is the half life of sodium-24

A hiker enters an area where lichens, mosses, and fungi are growing. Which statement best describes this ecosystem? A It is popu
zysi [14]

A.

Explanation:

Pioneer plants are to plants species that appear first in virgin land – such an after a volcanic eruption. They are mainly lower plants such as lichen, fungi, and noses. These species can grow on rocks and break them down over time to form soil. This is due to the fact that the plants have very shallow roots that can even grow in the small crevices of rocks and can draw water from the atmosphere – moisture. This releases the nutrients in the rocks and makes them available to higher plants that have deeper roots. The ecology of the region will ultimately be succeeded by a climax community over time, mainly dominated by tree species.

mixture of N 2 And H2 Gases weighs 13.22 g and occupies a volume of 24.62 L at 300 K and 1.00 atm.Calculate the mass percent of
anygoal [31]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass percent of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas is 91.41 % and 8.59 % respectively.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation given by ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of the gaseous mixture = 1.00 atm

V = Volume of the gaseous mixture = 24.62 L

n = number of moles of the gaseous mixture = ?

R = Gas constant = 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = Temperature of the gaseous mixture = 300 K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.00atm\times 24.62L=n_{mix}\times 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 300K\\\\n_{mix}=\frac{1.00\times 24.62}{0.0821\times 300}=0.9996mol

We are given:

Total mass of the mixture = 13.22 grams

Let the mass of nitrogen gas be 'x' grams and that of hydrogen gas be '(13.22 - x)' grams

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

<u>For nitrogen gas:</u>

Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28 g/mol

\text{Moles of nitrogen gas}=\frac{x}{28}mol

<u>For hydrogen gas:</u>

Molar mass of hydrogen gas = 2 g/mol

\text{Moles of hydrogen gas}=\frac{(13.22-x)}{2}mol

Equating the moles of the individual gases to the moles of mixture:

0.9996=\frac{x}{28}+\frac{(13.22-x)}{2}\\\\x=12.084g

To calculate the mass percentage of substance in mixture we use the equation:

\text{Mass percent of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Mass of mixture}}\times 100

Mass of the mixture = 13.22 g

  • <u>For nitrogen gas:</u>

Mass of nitrogen gas = x = 12.084 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass percent of nitrogen gas}=\frac{12.084g}{13.22g}\times 100=91.41\%

  • <u>For hydrogen gas:</u>

Mass of hydrogen gas = (13.22 - x) = (13.22 - 12.084) g = 1.136 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass percent of hydrogen gas}=\frac{1.136g}{13.22g}\times 100=8.59\%

Hence, the mass percent of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas is 91.41 % and 8.59 % respectively.

What is the total number of hydrogen atoms contained in one molecule of (NH4)2C204?
Ber [7]

Answer:

=8 atoms

Explanation:

In (NH4)2C2O4 there are four moles of Hydrogen in the compound (NH4), but there two molecules of (NH4) in this compound.  That's what the 2 in (NH4)2 means, so multiply 4 x 2 = 8.

Hope this helps (:
