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 solubility of nitrogen gas at 25 degrees C and 1 atm is 6.8 x 10^(-4) mol/L. If the partial pressure of nitrogen gas in air
Zolol [24]

Answer:

5.2 x 10⁻⁴ M.

Explanation:

  • The relationship between gas pressure and the  concentration of dissolved gas is given by  Henry’s law:

<em>P = kC</em>

where P is the partial pressure of the gaseous  solute above the solution.

k is a constant (Henry’s constant).

C is the concentration of the dissolved gas.

  • At two different pressures, there is two different concentrations of dissolved gases and is expressed in a relation as:

<em>P₁C₂ = P₂C₁,</em>

P₁ = 1.0 atm, C₁ = 6.8 x 10⁻⁴ mol/L.

P₂ = 0.76 atm, C₂ = ??? mol/L.

<em>∴ C₂ = (P₂C₁)/P₁ =</em> (0.76 atm)(6.8 x 10⁻⁴ mol/L)/(1.0 atm) = <em>5.168 x 10⁻⁴ mol/L ≅ 5.2 x 10⁻⁴ M.</em>
