Amount of substance can be measured in the number of moles.
Avagadros constant states that 1 mol of any substance is made of 6.022 x 10^23 units.
These units could be atoms making up elements or molecules making up compounds
1 mol of C is made of 6.022 x 10^23 atoms of C
Since 1 mol of C has a mass of 12.011 g
Therefore 6.022 x 10^23 atoms of C weigh 12.011 g
Then 1 atom of C weighs -12.011 g / 6.022 x 10^23 atoms = 1.99 x 10^(-23) g
Mass of 1 C atom is 1.99 x 10^(-23) g

Barium-131 is used in the detection of bone tumors. The half-life of barium-131 is approximately 12 days. How long will it take
Evgesh-ka [11]

Barium-131's radiation level won't reach 1/4 of its initial level for 24 hours.

ln[A] t = -kt + ln[A] 0 is the integrated rate rule for the first-order reaction A's products.

A straight line is produced when the natural log of [A] is plotted as a function of time since this equation has the form y = mx + b.

How is the length of a half-life determined?

The amount of time needed for the reactant concentration to drop to half its initial value is known as the half-life of a reaction. A first-order reaction's half-life is a constant that is correlated with its rate constant:

t 1/2 = 0.693/k.

1. Why is it necessary to equalize the pressure(i.e, have the water level the same in each tube) before taking a volume reading?
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

If you contact water with a gas at a certain temperature and (partial) pressure, the concentration of the gas in the water will reach an equilibrium ('saturation') according to Henry's law.

Explanation:

This means: if you increase the pressure (e.g. by keeping the vial closed), the CO2 concentration will increase. So it simply depends what concentration you need for your assay: 'CO2-saturated' water at low pressure or 'CO2-saturated' water at high pressure.

Describe how the meniscus is used to read volume measurements on a graduated cylinder
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:Tthe liquid in a graduated cylinder curves up at the edge where the liquid meets the wall of the cylinder. This curve in the liquid is called the meniscus and is used to determiine the volume of liquid in a graduated cylinder by observing the measurement tick closest to the bottom of the meniscus.
