The half life of a radioactive element is the time needed to the element to decay and reach the half amount of the initial amount. Here we have a radioisotope element which decays its half from 10,000 to 5,000 in two days. Therefore, its half life is 2 days.

A compound is 2.00% H by mass, 32.7% S by mass, and 65.3% O by mass. What is its empirical
Katarina [22]

Answer:

empirical formula: H_2SO_4

2 g H

32.7 g S

65.3 g O

Explanation:

Like the problem said, the first thing we can do is calculate the mass of each of the 3 elements in a 100-gram sample:

- 2.00% * 100g = 2 g H

- 32.7% * 100g = 32.7 g S

- 65.3% * 100g = 65.3 g O

Now we need to find the empirical formula from these. To do so, convert all of those masses into moles by using the molar mass for each element:

- the molar mass of H is 1.01 g/mol

- the molar mass of S is 32.06 g/mol

- the molar mass of O is 16 g/mol

2 g H ÷ 1.01 g/mol = 1.98 mol H

32.7 g S ÷ 32.06 g/mol = 1.02 mol S

65.3 g O ÷ 16 g/mol = 4.08 mol O

Our ratio of H : S : O is now:

1.98 mol : 1.02 mol : 4.08 mol

Divide them all by the smallest number, which is 1.02:

1.98/1.02  :  1.02/1.02  :  4.08/1.02

1.94 : 1 : 4

1.94 ≈ 2

So:

2 : 1 : 4

Thus, the empirical formula is: H_2SO_4.

If 12.4 mol of Ne gas occupies 122.8 L, how many mol of Ne would occupy 339.2 L under the same temperature and pressure? Record
8090 [49]

Answer:

3.43×10¹ mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial number of  moles = 12.4 mol

Initial volume = 122.8 L

Final number of moles = ?

Final volume = 339.2 L

Solution:

The number of moles and volume are directly proportional to each other at same temperature and pressure.

V₁/n₁  =  V₂/n₂

122.8 L/ 12.4 mol  =  339.2 L / n₂

n₂ = 339.2 L× 12.4 mol  / 122.8 L

n₂ = 4206.08 L.mol /122.8 L

n₂ = 34.3mol

In scientific notation:

3.43×10¹ mol
