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.

A quantity of gas occupies a volume of 804 mL at a temperature of 27 °C. At what temperature will the
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

T₂ = 150 K

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume of gas = 804 mL

Initial temperature = 27°C (27+273=300 K)

Final temperature = ?

Final volume = 402 mL

Solution:

The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.

According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume  

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

T₂ = V₂T₁/V₁  

T₂ = 402 mL × 300 K / 804 mL

T₂ = 120,600 mL.K / 804 mL

T₂ = 150 K
