<u>Answer:</u> The equation to calculate the mass of remaining isotope is [A]=\frac{20}{10^{-0.217t}}

<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 = \ln 4=1.386yrs

Putting values in above equation, we get:

k=\frac{0.693}{1.386yrs}=0.5yrs^{-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 = 0.5yr^{-1}

t = time taken for decay process

[A_o] = initial amount of the sample = 20 grams

[A] = amount left after decay process =  ? grams

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.5=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{20}{[A]}

[A]=\frac{20}{10^{-0.217t}}

Hence, the equation to calculate the mass of remaining isotope is [A]=\frac{20}{10^{-0.217t}}

A 1.2 kg block of iron at 32 ∘C is rapidly heated by a torch such that 12 kJ is transferred to it. What temperature would the bl
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

For iron

Final temperature = 54,22°C

For copper

Final Temperature = 63.67 °C

Explanation

Hello,

You are using a torch to warm up a block of iron that has an initial temperature of 32°C.

The first you have to know is that the "heat capacity" could simply define as the heat required to go from an initial temperature to a final temperature.

So you need to use the heat capacity equation as follow in the paper.

The equation has to have all terms in the same units, so:

q = 12000 J

s = 0.450 J / g °C

m = 1200 g

Ti = 32 °C

Suppose you wanted to dissolve 40.0 g NaOH in enough H2O to make 6.00 dm3 of solution
dezoksy [38]

Molarity of solution = 1.6 M

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

40 g NaOH

6 L solution

Required

Steps to solve the problem of molarity

Solution

No additional information about the question.

If you want to make the solution above, then we just need to put the existing NaOH (40 g) into 6 L of water, then do the stirring (in a warm temperature above the hot plate will speed up the NaOH dissolving process)

But if you want to know the molarity of a solution, then

  • 1. we calculate the moles of NaOH

\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{MW}

MW(molecular weight) of NaOH=

Ar Na+ Ar O + Ar H

23 + 16 + 1 = 40 g/mol

so mol NaOH :

\tt mol=\dfrac{40~g}{40~g/mol}=1~mol

  • 2. Molarity(M)

\tt M=\dfrac{n}{V}\\\\M=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\M=0.16
