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

CO + 2 H2 → CH3OH 
<span> find # of mols in each reactants, </span>

<span>152500 g CO x 1 mol CO / 28.01g CO = 5444 mol CO </span>

<span>24500 g H2 x 1 mol H2 / 2.02 g H2 = 12129 mol H2 </span>

<span>mol ratio between CO and H2 is 1:2, which means each mol of production of CH3OH need 1 mol of CO and 2 mol of H. </span>

<span>H2 is enough to produce 6064 mols of CH3OH but there are only 5444mol of CO. </span>

<span>5444 mol CH3OH x molar mass of CH3OH / 1 mol CH3OH </span>

<span>= 174371 g = 174.4 kg</span>

What happens when a gas reaches a cold surface and it changes into a liquid
Mademuasel [1]
To change phases, a substance either gains or looses energy. If a substance gains energy, it will become more exited and the molecules will spread out. An example of this is water boiling into gas. If it looses energy, the molecules will become less exited and come closer together. For example, freezing water takes away energy from molecules, changing it from liquid to solid

When a gas reaches a gold surface, it looses much of the energy that it had, so the gas condenses from gas  to liquid phase. 

Hope this helped!! :D
