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

Potassium bromide conducts electricity when ______
amm1812

Answer:

When melted or dissolved in water.

Explanation:

Potassium bromide in its solid form contains ions, which are charged atoms. Through the heating process, the melted potassium bromide becomes an ionic liquid. If solid potassium bromide is dissolved, for example in water, the resulting release of ions allows it to conduct electricity.

Construction crews sometimes use this reaction for welding underwater structures:
meriva

Answer:

5 moles of iron formed

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of iron formed = ?

Moles of iron oxide react = 2.50 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Fe₂O₃ + 2Al     →     Al₂O₃ + 2Fe

Now we will compare the moles of iron with iron oxide.

                  Fe₂O₃        :           Fe

                      1             ;            2

                  2.50          :          2×2.50 = 5 mol

What mass in grams of SO2 is needed to react with 37.50 mol of Oz?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

4804.5 g of SO₂ are needed to the reaction

Explanation:

The reaction to produce sulfuric acid is:

2SO₂ + O₂ + 2H₂O →  2H₂SO₄

Ratio is 1:2. 1 mol of oxygen needs 2 moles of sulfur dioxide in order to react. We can propose this rule of three.

If 1 mol of O₂ react to 2 moles of SO₂

Then, 37.50 moles of O₂ will react with (37.5 . 2) /1 = 75 moles of SO₂

We convert the moles to mass, to know the answer:

75 mol . 64.06 g / 1 mol = 4804.5 g of SO₂
