Answer:

0.625 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of radon-222 = 3.8 days

Total mass of sample = 10 g

Mass left after 15.2 days = ?

Solution:

Number of half lives = T elapsed / Half life

Number of half lives = 15.2 / 3.8

Number of half lives = 4

At time zero = 10 g

At first half life = 10 g/2 = 5 g

At 2nd half life = 5 g/ 2= 2.5 g

At third half life = 2.5 g/2 = 1.25 g

At 4th half life = 1.25 g/2 = 0.625 g

Chamber 1 and Chamber 2 have equal volumes of 1.0L and are assumed to be rigid containers. The chambers are connected by a valve
vitfil [10]
1) At tne same temperature and with the same volume, initially the chamber 1 has the dobule of moles of gas  than the chamber 2, so the pressure in the chamber 1 ( call it p1) is the double of the pressure of chamber 2 (p2)

=> p1 = 2 p2

Which is easy to demonstrate using ideal gas equation:

p1 = nRT/V = 2.0 mol * RT / 1 liter

p2 = nRT/V = 1.0 mol * RT / 1 liter

=> p1 / p2 = 2.0 / 1.0 = 2 => p1 = 2 * p2

2) Assuming that when the valve is opened there is not change in temperature, there will be 1.00 + 2.00 moles of gas in a volumen of 2 liters.

So, the pressure in both chambers (which form one same vessel) is:

p = nRT/V = 3.0 mol * RT / 2liter

which compared to the initial pressure in chamber 1, p1, is:

p / p1 = (3/2) / 2 = 3/4 => p = (3/4)p1

So, the answer is that the pressure in the chamber 1 decreases to 3/4 its original pressure.

You can also see how the pressure in chamber 2 changes:

p / p2 = (3/2) / 1 = 3/2, which means that the pressure in the chamber 2 decreases to 3/2 of its original pressure.

Which element is reduced in the following reaction: 2Mg+O₂ → 2MgO if Mg goes from 0 to +2 and O goes from 0 to -2?
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

O.

Explanation:

  • The element which is oxidized is the element that losses electrons and its oxidation state be more positive.
  • The element which is reduced is the element that gain electrons and its oxidation state be more negative.

<em> O goes from 0 to -2, so, it is the element that is reduced.</em>
