Answer : The half-life of the compound is, 145 years.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the rate constant.

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

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

where,

k = rate constant  = ?

t = time passed by the sample  = 60.0 min

a = let initial amount of the reactant  = 100 g

a - x = amount left after decay process = 100 - 25 = 75 g

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

k=\frac{2.303}{60.0}\log\frac{100g}{75g}

k=4.79\times 10^{-3}\text{ years}^{-1}

Now we have to calculate the half-life of the compound.

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

4.79\times 10^{-3}\text{ years}^{-1}=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

t_{1/2}=144.676\text{ years}\approx 145\text{ years}

Therefore, the half-life of the compound is, 145 years.

A chemist needs to make 250 mL of a 2.50 M aqueous solution of ammonium hydroxide from a 6.00 M ammonium hydroxide solution. How
Furkat [3]

Answer:

250 mL (total solution)  = 104 mL (stock solution)  + 146 mL (water)

Explanation:

Data Given

M1 = 6.00 M

M2 = 2.5 M

V1 = 250 mL

V2 = ?

Solution:

As the chemist needs to prepare 250 mL of solution from 6.00 M ammonium hydroxide solution to prepare a 2.50 M aqueous solution of ammonium hydroxide.

Now

first he have to determine the amount of ammonium hydroxide solution that will be taken from6.00 M ammonium hydroxide solution

For this Purpose we use the following formula

                    M1V1=M2V2

Put values from given data in the formula

                   6 x V1 = 2.5 x 250

Rearrange the equation

                   V1 = 2.5 x 250 /6

                    V1 = 104 mL

So 104 mL is the volume of the solution which we have to take from the 6.00 M ammonium hydroxide solution to prepare 2.5 M  aqueous solution of ammonium hydroxide

But we have to prepare 250 mL of the solution.

so the chemist will take 104 mL from 6.00 M ammonium hydroxide solution and have to add 146 mL water to make 250 mL of new solution.

in this question you have to tell about the amount of water that is 146 mL

250 mL (total solution)  = 104 mL (stock solution)  + 146 mL (water)
