Answer:

a) Ksp = 7.9x10⁻¹⁰

b) Solubility is 6.31x10⁻⁶M

Explanation:

a) InF₃ in water produce:

InF₃ ⇄ In⁺³ + 3F⁻

And Ksp is defined as:

Ksp = [In⁺³] [F⁻]³

4.0x10⁻²g / 100mL of InF₃ are:

4.0x10⁻²g / 100mL ₓ (1mol / 172g) ₓ (100mL / 0.1L) = <em>2.3x10⁻³M InF₃. </em>Thus:

[In⁺³] = 2.3x10⁻³M InF₃ × (1 mol In⁺³ / mol InF₃) = 2.3x10⁻³M In⁺³

[F⁻] = 2.3x10⁻³M InF₃ × (3 mol F⁻ / mol InF₃) = 7.0x10⁻³M F⁻

Replacing these values in Ksp formula:

Ksp = [2.3x10⁻³M In⁺³] × [7.0x10⁻³M F⁻]³ = <em>7.9x10⁻¹⁰</em>

<em></em>

b) 0.05 moles of F⁻ produce solubility of InF₃ decrease to:

7.9x10⁻¹⁰ = [x] [0.05 + 3x]³

Where x are moles of In⁺³ produced from solid InF₃ and 3x are moles of F⁻ produced from the same source. That means x is solubility in mol / L

Solving from x:

x = -0.018 → False solution, there is no negative concentrations.

x = 6.31x10⁻⁶M → Right answer.

Thus, <em>solubility is 6.31x10⁻⁶M</em>

If a gas occupies 1532.7 mL at standard temperature, what volume does it occupy at 49.4 ºC if the pressure remains constant?

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

a. 1810mL

Explanation:

When conditions for a gas change under constant pressure (and the number of molecules doesn't change), it follows Charles' Law:

$\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}$ where the temperatures must be measured in Kelvin

To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, add 273, or use the equation: $T_C+273=T_K$

For this problem, one must also recall that standard temperature is 0°C (or 273K).

So, $T_1 = 273[K]$ , and $T_2 = (49.4+273)[K]=322.4[K]$ .

$\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}$

$\dfrac{(1532.7[mL])}{(273[K])}=\dfrac{V_2}{(322.4[K])}$

$\dfrac{(1532.7[mL])}{(273[K\!\!\!\!\!{-}])}(322.4[K\!\!\!\!\!{-}] )=\dfrac{V_2}{(322.4[K]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{----})}(322.4[K]\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!{----})$

$1810.04571428[mL]=V_2$

Adjusting for significant figures, this gives $V_2=1810[mL]$

Strotium−90, a radioactive isotope, is a major product of an atomic bomb explosion. It has a half-life of 28.1 yr. (a) Calculate

Bess [88]

Answer :

(a) The first-order rate constant for the nuclear decay is, $0.0247\text{ years}^{-1}$

(b) The fraction of 90-Sr that remains after 10 half-lives is, $\frac{a_o}{1024}$

(c) The time passed in years is, 127.4 years.

Explanation :

<u>Part (a) :</u>

Half-life = 28.1 years

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac{0.693}{28.1\text{ years}}$

$k=0.0247\text{ years}^{-1}$

Thus, the first-order rate constant for the nuclear decay is, $0.0247\text{ years}^{-1}$

<u>Part (b) :</u>

Now we have to calculate the fraction of 90-Sr that remains after 10 half-lives.

Formula used :

$a=\frac{a_o}{2^n}$

where,

a = amount of reactant left after n-half lives

$a_o$ = Initial amount of the reactant

n = number of half lives = 10

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$a=\frac{a_o}{2^{10}}$

$a=\frac{a_o}{1024}$

Thus, the fraction of 90-Sr that remains after 10 half-lives is, $\frac{a_o}{1024}$

<u>Part (c) :</u>

Now we have to calculate the time passed.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = $0.0247\text{ years}^{-1}$

t = time passed by the sample = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100

a - x = amount left after decay process = 100 - 95.7 = 4.3

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

$t=\frac{2.303}{0.0247}\log\frac{100}{4.3}$

$t=127.4\text{ years}$

Therefore, the time passed in years is, 127.4 years.
