Answer:

64.52 mg.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Half life (t½) = 1590 years

Initial amount (N₀) = 100 mg

Time (t) = 1000 years.

Final amount (N) =.?

Next, we shall determine the rate constant (K).

This is illustrated below:

Half life (t½) = 1590 years

Rate/decay constant (K) =?

K = 0.693 / t½

K = 0.693/1590

K = 4.36×10¯⁴ / year.

Finally, we shall determine the amount that will remain after 1000 years as follow:

Half life (t½) = 1590 years

Initial amount (N₀) = 100 mg

Time (t) = 1000 years.

Rate constant = 4.36×10¯⁴ / year.

Final amount (N) =.?

Log (N₀/N) = kt/2.3

Log (100/N) = 4.36×10¯⁴ × 1000/2.3

Log (100/N) = 0.436/2.3

Log (100/N) = 0.1896

Take the antilog

100/N = antilog (0.1896)

100/N = 1.55

Cross multiply

N x 1.55 = 100

Divide both side by 1.55

N = 100/1.55

N = 64.52 mg

Therefore, the amount that remained after 1000 years is 64.52 mg

Balancee por tanteo las siguientes ecuaciones químicas. Escriba el nombre a reactantes y productos. H2O5 + H2O ---> HNO3 Na2O
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

a. N₂O₅ + H₂O ⇒ 2 HNO₃ (pentóxido de dinitrógeno + agua ⇒ ácido nítrico)

b. Na₂O + H₂O ⇒ 2 NaOH (óxido de sodio + agua ⇒ hidróxido de sodio)

Explanation:

Tenemos que balancear, por el método de tanteo, las siguientes ecuaciones químicas.

a. En la primera reacción, el pentóxido de dinitrógeno reacciona con agua para formar ácido nítrico. Es una reacción de síntesis o combinación.

N₂O₅ + H₂O ⇒ HNO₃

Podremos obtener la ecuación balanceada si multiplicamos HNO₃ por 2.

N₂O₅ + H₂O ⇒ 2 HNO₃

b. En la segunda reacción, óxido de sodio reacciona con agua para formar hidróxido de sodio. Es una reacción de síntesis o combinación.

Na₂O + H₂O ⇒ NaOH

Podremos obtener la ecuación balanceada si multiplicamos NaOH por 2.

Na₂O + H₂O ⇒ 2 NaOH

Identify which one is the reducing agent in this reaction
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Na.

Explanation:

  • The oxidation-reduction reaction contains a reductant and an oxidant (oxidizing agent).
  • An oxidizing agent, or oxidant, gains electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction. Also known as the electron acceptor, the oxidizing agent is normally in one of its higher possible oxidation states because it will gain electrons and be reduced.
  • A reducing agent (also called a reductant or reducer) is an element (such as calcium) or compound that loses (or "donates") an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction.

  • For the reaction:

<em>2Na + S → Na₂S.</em>

<em></em>

Na is oxidized to Na⁺ in (Na₂S) (loses 1 electron). "reducing agent".

S is reduced to S²⁻ in (Na₂S) (gains 2 electrons). "oxidizing agent".
