The half life of radon-222 is 3.8 days. How Much of a 100g sample is left after 15.2 days

Chemistry
1 answer:
professor190 [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:  

6.2 g  

Explanation:  

In a first-order decay, the formula for the amount remaining after <em>n</em> half-lives is  

N = \frac{N_{0}}{2^{n}}  

where  

<em>N</em>₀ and <em>N</em> are the initial and final amounts of the substance  

1. Calculate the <em>number of half-lives</em>.  

If t_{\frac{1}{2}} = \text{3.8 da}  

n = \frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}} = \frac{\text{15.2 da}}{\text{3.8 da}}= \text{4.0}

2. Calculate the <em>final mass</em> of the substance.  

\text{N} = \frac{\text{100 g}}{2^{4.0}} = \frac{\text{100 g}}{16} = \text{6.2 g}

What is the net redox reaction that occurs when Au comes into contact with acidic KMnO4? (Use the lowest possible coefficients.
Natalka [10]

Answer:

3MnO₄⁻ + 24H⁺ + 5Au → 5Au³⁺ + 3Mn²⁺ + 12H₂O.

Explanation:

  • KMnO₄ is strong oxidizing agent which is reduced and oxidizes Au according to the two-half reactions:

The oxidation reaction: Au → Au³⁺ + 3e.

The reduction reaction: MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5e → Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O.

  • To obtain the net redox reaction, we multiply the oxidation reaction by 5 and the reduction reaction by 5 to equalize the no. of electrons in the two-half reactions.

<em>So, the net redox reaction will be:</em>

<em>3MnO₄⁻ + 24H⁺ + 5Au → 5Au³⁺ + 3Mn²⁺ + 12H₂O.</em>
