The answer should be D.)The decay rate does not change
<span>A radioisotope is not stable and will undergo a nuclear decay that will continually decrease its mass. Unlike a chemical reaction, the </span>rate of nuclear decay is not influenced by the temperature of the surface area. So, increases in surface area and decreased temperature will not have any effect.

2. Suppose that 21.37 mL of NaOH is needed to titrate 10.00 mL of 0.1450 M H2SO4 solution.
AysviL [449]

Answer:

0.1357 M

Explanation:

(a) The balanced reaction is shown below as:

2NaOH+H_2SO_4\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2H_2O

(b) Moles of H_2SO_4 can be calculated as:

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Or,

Moles =Molarity \times {Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Given :

For H_2SO_4 :

Molarity = 0.1450 M

Volume = 10.00 mL

The conversion of mL to L is shown below:

1 mL = 10⁻³ L

Thus, volume = 10×10⁻³ L

Thus, moles of H_2SO_4 :

Moles=0.1450 \times {10\times 10^{-3}}\ moles

Moles of H_2SO_4  = 0.00145 moles

From the reaction,

1 mole of H_2SO_4 react with 2 moles of NaOH

0.00145 mole of H_2SO_4 react with 2*0.00145 mole of NaOH

Moles of NaOH = 0.0029 moles

Volume = 21.37 mL = 21.37×10⁻³ L

Molarity = Moles / Volume = 0.0029 /  21.37×10⁻³  M = 0.1357 M

arlik [135]

Answer:

0.184 M

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

HCl + NaOH —> NaCl + H2O

From the balanced equation above, the following data were obtained:

Mole ratio of the acid, HCl (nA) = 1

Mole ratio of the base, NaOH (nB) = 1

Next, the data obtained from the question. This includes:

Volume of the base, NaOH (Vb) = 31.7 mL Molarity of the base, NaOH (Mb) = 0.145 M

Volume of the acid, HCl (Va) = 25.0 mL

Molarity of the acid, HCl (Ma) =?

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of the acid (HCl) as shown below:

MaVa /MbVb = nA/nB

Ma × 25 / 0.145 × 31.7 = 1

Cross multiply

Ma × 25 = 0.145 × 31.7

Ma × 25 = 4.5965

Divide both side by 25

Ma = 4.5965 / 25

Ma = 0.184 M

Therefore, the molarity of the acid (HCl) is 0.184 M

A sample of helium gas occupies a volume of 152.0 mL at a pressure of 717.0 mm Hg and a temperature of 315.0 K. What will the vo
kozerog [31]

Answer:

0.581 L  or  581 mL

Explanation:

As stated in the question, the combined gas law is (P1*V1/T1) = (P2*V2/T2)

Write down the amounts you are given.

V1 = 0.152 L (I was taught to always convert milliliters to liters)

P1 = 717 mmHg

T1 = 315 K

V2 = ?

P2 = 463 mmHg

T2 = 777 K

The variable that is being solved for is final volume. Fill in the combined gas law equation with the corresponding amounts and solve for V2.

(717 mmHg*0.152 L) / (315 K) = (463 mmHg*V2) / (777 K)

0.346 = (463*V2) / (777)

0.346*777 = (463*V2) / (777)*777

268.842 = 463*V2

268.842/463 = (463*V2)/463

V2 = 0.581

Pressure and volume are indirectly proportional. This checks out because the volume increased while pressure decreased. Volume and temperature are directly proportional. This checks out because both volume and temperature increased. This is a good way to check your answers. You can also solve each side of the combined gas law equation to see if they are both the same.
