Given,  half life of a certain radioactive element = 800 years.

Amount of substance remaining at time t = 12.5%

Lets consider the initial amount of the radioactive substance  = 100%

Using the half life equation:

A = A₀(1/2)^t/t₁/₂

where A₀ is the amount of radioactive substance at time zero and A is the amount of radioactive substance at time t, and t₁/₂ is the half-life of the radioactive substance.

Plugging the given data into the half life equation we have,

12.5 = 100 . (1/2)^t/800

12.5/100 = (1/2)^t/800

0.125 = (0.5)^t/800

(0.5)^3 = (0.5)^t/800

3 = t/800

t = 2400 years

Thus the object is 2400 years  old.

How many moles of ions would you expect in an aqueous solution containing one mole of chromium(III) chloride? Hint: write out th
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Four  

Explanation:

AlCl₃(aq) ⟶ Al³⁺(aq) + 3Cl⁻(aq)

One mole of AlCl₃  produces 1 mol of Al³⁺ and 3 mol of Cl⁻.

That's four moles of ions.

Toichiometry time! Remember to look at the equation for your molar ratios in other problems.
31.75 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 2 mol Ag | 107.9 g Ag         6851.65⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻   →   ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻  = 107.9 g Ag       ∅        | 63.5 g Cu | 1 mol Cu | 1 mol Ag              63.5

There's also a shorter way to do this: Notice the molar ratio from Cu to Ag, which is 1:2. When you plug in 31.75 into your molar mass for Cu, it equals 1/2 mol. That also means that you have 1 mol Ag because of the ratio, qhich you can then plug into your molar mass, getting 107.9 as well.
