Let’s say we start with 2.2lbs of uranium. If the half-line of U-235 is 703.8 million years, how much uranium will we have after

Answer:

0.14 lb

Explanation:

The <em>half-life</em> of U-235 (703.8 ×10⁶ yr) is the time it takes for half the U to decay.  

After one half-life, half (50 %) of the original amount will remain.

After a second half-life, half of that amount (25 %) will remain, and so on.

We can construct a table as follows:

  No. of                        Fraction         Amount

<u>half-lives</u>  <u>t/(yr × 10⁶)</u>  <u>remaining</u>   <u>remaining/lb </u>

       1             703.8            ½                    1.1

       2           1408               ¼                   0.55

       3            2111                ⅛                   0.28

       4           2815               ¹/₁₆                  0.14

We see that 2815 × 10⁶ yr is four half-lives, and the amount of U-235 remaining is 0.14 lb.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer: Option B

Explanation: when strong acid react with strong base, the resulting solution is neutral as in the case of HCl and NaOH

HCl + NaOH —> NaCl + H2O

From the equation obtained, The salt ( NaCl) obtained is a normal salt which is neutral.

An analytical chemist weighs out 0.188 g of an unknown triprotic acid into a 250 mL volumetric flask and dilutes to the mark wit
Anon25 [30]

<u>Answer:</u> The molar mass of unknown triprotic acid is 97.66 g/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of triprotic acid

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

n_1=3\\M_1=?M\\V_1=250mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.0600M\\V_2=95.9mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

3\times M_1\times 250=1\times 0.0600\times 95.9\\\\M_1=0.0077M

To calculate the molecular mass of solute, we use the equation used to calculate the molarity of solution:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}

We are given:

Molarity of solution = 0.0077 M

Given mass of triprotic acid = 0.188 g

Volume of solution = 250 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.0077M=\frac{0.188\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of triprotic acid}\times 250}\\\\\text{Molar mass of triprotic acid}=97.66g/mol

Hence, the molar mass of unknown triprotic acid is 97.66 g/mol
