Answer:

54 days

Explanation:

We have to use the formula;

0.693/t1/2 =2.303/t log Ao/A

Where;

t1/2= half-life of phosphorus-32= 14.3 days

t= time taken for the activity to fall to 7.34% of its original value

Ao=initial activity of phosphorus-32

A= activity of phosphorus-32 after a time t

Note that;

A=0.0734Ao (the activity of the sample decreased to 7.34% of the activity of the original sample)

Substituting values;

0.693/14.3 = 2.303/t log Ao/0.0734Ao

0.693/14.3 = 2.303/t log 1/0.0734

0.693/14.3 = 2.6/t

0.048=2.6/t

t= 2.6/0.048

t= 54 days

In the reaction ___h2+n2 ->2 NH3, what coefficient should be placed in front of H2 to balance the reaction?
Nataly_w [17]
In order to balance this equation you need to count each element and how many of the individual elements are in the equation.
_H2+N2=2 NH3
You multiply the 2 (Which is the coefficient) by the 3 (which is the subscript) This would equal 6 which indicated there are 6 hydrogen atoms on the right side so the left side should also have 6 hydrogen atoms

The missing coefficient on the left side must multiple the 2 to become 6 hydrogen

A 275 g sample of a metal requires 10.75 kJ to change its temperature from 21.2 oC to its melting temperature, 327.5 oC. What is
Vlada [557]

Answer:

c=0.127\ J/g^{\circ} C

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the sample, m = 275 g

It required 10.75 kJ of heat to change its temperature from 21.2 °C to its melting temperature, 327.5 °C.

We need to find the specific heat of the metal. The heat required by a metal sample is given by :

Q=mc\Delta T

c is specific heat of the metal

c=\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}\\\\c=\dfrac{10.75\times 10^3\ J}{275\times (327.5 -21.2)}\\\\=0.127\ J/g^{\circ} C

So, the specific heat of metal is 0.127\ J/g^{\circ} C.

Which model failed to explain the
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

C). The Bohr-Rutherford model

Explanation:

The 'Bohr-Rutherford model' of the atom failed to elaborate on the attraction between some substances. It essentially targeted hydrogen atoms and failed to explain its stability across multi-electrons. The nature and processes of the chemical reactions remained unillustrated and thus, this is the key drawback of this model. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
