Ln(800/3200) = - kt
t = 24 years.
ln(0.25) = -k*24
(- 1.3863) = -k*24
1.3863  / 24 = k
0.05776 = k

ln(0.5) = -k*t
-0.6931 = - 0.05776 t
12 = t

I don't know if you can just look at the question and know the answer. If 24 years is a quarter life then is it obvious that the 1/2 life is 12 years? It might be, but the method I've used works for sure.

What is the relationship between the release of energy as heat and calories
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

Calories is a unit to measure the amount of energy contained in a particular food product. It is regarded as the energy required to raise the temperature of 1g of water by 1°C.

It is important note that calories measures the heat content of food we eat and consume. Therefore, there is a direct relationship between the release of energy as heat and the calories. The more the calories, the more the energy that would be released as heat.

What is the value for ΔSºreaction for the following reaction, given the standard entropy values?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
Substituting the values:

51 + 3(131) = ΔH + 2(28) + 3(189)
ΔH = -225 J/mol

When written outside of the equation, this becomes 225 J/mol

A 2.0 mol ideal gas system is maintained at a constant volume of 4.0 L. If 100 J of heat is added, what is the work done on the
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Work done on the system is zero , hence no work is done since the process is <u>isochoric.</u> There is no work done if the volume remains unchanged. (Though the temperature rises, work is only accomplished when the volume of the gas changes.)

Explanation:

ISOCHORIC PROCESS - An isochoric process, also known as a constant-volume process, isovolumetric process, or isometric process, is a thermodynamic process in which the volume of the closed system undergoing the process remains constant through the process. The heating or cooling of the contents of a sealed, inelastic container is an example of an isochoric process. The thermodynamic process is the addition or removal of heat, the closed system is established by the isolation of the contents of the container, and the constant-volume condition is imposed by the container's inability to deform. It should be a quasi-static isochoric process in this case.

<u>Hence , the work done in the system is zero.</u>
