Answer: 0.0069L

Explanation:

2H2O(l) ---->O2(g) + 4H+(aq) + 4e-

no of moles= it/eF

NO of moles of O2 produced = (Current in Ampere x Time in second)/ (Faraday constant x Number of electrons required)

Moles of O2 produced = (0.02x (60 x 60X1.5 s)/(96485 x 4)

= 0.0002798 moles= 2.798x 10 ^-4moles

Using ideal gas equation,

P V = n R T

Where, P is the pressure,

V is the volume,

n is the number of moles,

R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature

We have, 1 bar = 0.986923 atm

Substituting the values,

V = nRT/P = (2.798 x 10-4moles x 0.08205 L atm mol K x 298 K)/ 0.986923 atm = 0.0069L

Volume of O2 produced = 0.0069L

The half-life for the radioactive decay of C-14C-14 is 5730 years. You may want to reference (Pages 598 - 605) Section 14.5 whil

KIM [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The sample of Carbon-14 isotope will take 2377.9 years to decay it to 25 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:

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

where,

$t_{1/2}$ = half life of the reaction = 5730 years

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$k=\frac{0.693}{5730yrs}=1.21\times 10^{-4}yrs^{-1}$

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.21\times 10^{-4}yr^{-1}$

t = time taken for decay process = ? yr

$[A_o]$ = initial amount of the sample = 100 grams

[A] = amount left after decay process = (100 - 25) = 75 grams

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.21\times 10^{-4}=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{100}{75}\\\\t=2377.9yrs$

Hence, the sample of Carbon-14 isotope will take 2377.9 years to decay it to 25 %

A 45-g aluminium spoon(specific heat 0.80 / J/gdegree Celsius) at 24 degree celsius is placed in 180 ml(180 grams) of coffee at

Vlad [161]

Explanation:

a) The amount of heat released by coffee will be absorbed by aluminium spoon.

Thus, $heat_{absorbed}=heat_{released}$

To calculate the amount of heat released or absorbed, we use the equation:

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

Also,

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]$ ..........(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

$m_1$ = mass of aluminium = 45 g

$m_2$ = mass of coffee = 180 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = ?

$T_1$ = temperature of aluminium = $24^oC$

$T_2$ = temperature of coffee = $85^oC$

$c_1$ = specific heat of aluminium = $0.80J/g^oC$

$c_2$ = specific heat of coffee= $4.186 J/g^oC$

Putting all the values in equation 1, we get:

$45 g\times 0.80J/g^oC\times (T_{final}-24^oC)=-[180 g\times 4.186J/g^oC\times (T_{final}-83^oC)]$

$T_{final}=80.30^oC$

80.30 °C is the final temperature.

b) Energy flows from higher temperature to lower temperature.Whenever two bodies with different energies and temperature come in contact. And the resulting temperature of both bodies will less then the body with high temperature and will be more then the body with lower temperature.

So, is our final temperature of both aluminium and coffee that is 80°C less than initial temperature of coffee and more than the initial temperature of the aluminum.

Why Is Any Chemical Reaction always Balanced? Give reasons and Explain the Easiest way to solve the Balancing Problems in Chemic

erastova [34]

Answer:

The chemical equation needs to be balanced so that it follows the law of conservation of mass. A balanced chemical equation occurs when the number of the different atoms of elements in the reactants side is equal to that of the products side.

How many moles are in 43.9 L of oxygen

Ede4ka [16]

Answer: 2 mol

Explanation:

- According to the ideal gas law, One mole of an ideal gas at STP (standard temperature and normal pressure) occupies 22.4 liters.

- Using cross multiplication,

1 mol of (O2) → 22.4 L

? → 43.9 L

Therefore, the number of moles of oxygen in 43.9 L = (43.9 × 1)/ 22.4 = 1.96 mol≈ 2 mol..
