If a sample has 25% parent and 75% daughter, how many halflifes have gone by?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anit [1.1K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Two half lives.

Explanation:

It is known that the decay of isotopes and radioactive material obeys first order kinetics.

Also, it is clear that in first order decay the half-life time is independent of the initial concentration.

That means for a sample 100% to decay to 50 % it will take one half-life, and to decay the remaining 50% to 25% it will take another half-life.

So, for a sample has 25% parent and 75% daughter it will have two half-lives.

The pka value for the carboxylic acid group in acetic acid is 4.75. write the predominant structure of acetic acid at (a ph=1, (
Scorpion4ik [409]
Hello!

A) At pH=1

This pH is lower than the value for the pKa, so Acetic acid wouldn't be ionized, but the equilibrium would be displaced to CH₃COOH

CH₃COOH ⇄ CH₃COO⁻ + H₃O⁺ (equilibrium displaced to the left)

The chemical structure for CH₃COOH is the first one in the attached images.

B) At pH=7

This pH is higher than the value for the pKa, so Acetic acid would be ionized, and the equilibrium would be displaced to CH₃COO⁻

CH₃COOH ⇄ CH₃COO⁻ + H₃O⁺ (equilibrium displaced to the right)

The chemical structure for CH₃COO⁻ is the second one in the attached images.

Have a nice day!
