I believe that the answer for this question would be option A. 8 HOURS. Based on the given scenario above about a certain radioactive isotope placed near a Geiger counter, the half-life <span>of the isotope 32 hours later would be 8 hours. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for. </span>

Answer:

half life is 8.00 hours.

Explanation:

The radioactive disintegration follows first order kinetics.

The integrated rate law for first order kinetics is:

ln(\frac{[A_{0} ]}{[A_{t}]})=kt

Where

A0 = initial Geiger counter

At = final Geiger counter

t = time

k = rate constant

Let us calculate rate constant from the equation

ln(\frac{[160]}{[10]})=kX32

k = 0.0866 / hour

the relation between half life and rate constant for first order reaction is:

k =0.693 / half life

half life =0.693 /k = 0.693 / 0.0866 = 8.00 hours

Desert plants commonly have small wax coated leaves to prevent moisture and water from evaporating. It is an important feature in desert plants to adapt to the arid climate. The wax on the leaves also protect the leaves from the chilling temperature of the desert at night.

1. Calculate the average reaction rate expressed in moles H2 consumed per liter per second.
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

1) 0.0025 mol/L.s.

2) 0.0025 mol/L.s.

Explanation:

  • For the reaction:

<em>H₂ + Cl₂ → 2HCl.</em>

<em></em>

<em>The average reaction rate = - Δ[H₂]/Δt = - Δ[Cl₂]/Δt = 1/2 Δ[HCl]/Δt</em>

<em></em>

<em>1. Calculate the average reaction rate expressed in moles H₂ consumed per liter per second.</em>

<em></em>

The average reaction rate expressed in moles H₂ consumed per liter per second = - Δ[H₂]/Δt = - (0.02 M - 0.03 M)/(4.0 s) = 0.0025 mol/L.s.

<em>2. Calculate the average reaction rate expressed in moles CI₂ consumed per liter per second.</em>

<em></em>

The average reaction rate expressed in moles Cl₂ consumed per liter per second = - Δ[Cl₂]/Δt = - (0.04 M - 0.05 M)/(4.0 s) = 0.0025 mol/L.s.
