Explanation:Naturally occurring zinc (30Zn) is composed of the 5 stable isotopes 64Zn, 66Zn, 67Zn, 68Zn, and 70Zn with 64Zn being the most abundant (48.6% natural abundance). Twenty-five radioisotopes have been characterised with the most abundant and stable being 65Zn with a half-life of 244.26 days, and 72Zn with a half-life of 46.5 hours. All of the remaining radioactive isotopes have half-lives that are less than 14 hours and the majority of these have half-lives that are less than 1 second. This element also has 10 meta states.

Zinc has been proposed as a "salting" material for nuclear weapons. A jacket of isotopically enriched 64Zn, irradiated by the intense high-energy neutron flux from an exploding thermonuclear weapon, would transmute into the radioactive isotope 65Zn with a half-life of 244 days and produce approximately 1.115 MeV[2] of gamma radiation, significantly increasing the radioactivity of the weapon's fallout for several years. Such a weapon is not known to have ever been built, tested, or used.[3]

At 400 K oxalic acid decomposes according to the reaction:H2C2O4(g)→CO2(g)+HCOOH(g)In three separate experiments, the intial pre
padilas [110]

Answer:

v = 2,66x10⁻⁵ P[H₂C₂O₄]

Explanation:

For the reaction:

H₂C₂O₄(g) → CO₂(g) + HCOOH(g)

At t = 0, the initial pressure is just of H₂C₂O₄(g). At t= 20000 s, pressures will be:

H₂C₂O₄(g) = P₀ - x

CO₂(g) = x

HCOOH(g) = x

P at t=20000 is:

P₀ - x + x + x = P₀+x. That means P at t=20000s - P₀ = x

For 1st point:

x = 92,8-65,8 = 27

Pressure of H₂C₂O₄(g) at t=20000s: 65,8-27 = 38,8

2nd point:

x = 130-92,1 = 37,9

H₂C₂O₄(g): 92,1 - 37,9 = 54,2

3rd point:

x = 157-111 = 46

H₂C₂O₄(g): 111-46 = 65

Now, as the rate law is :

v = k P[H₂C₂O₄]

Based on integrated rate law, k is:

(- ln P[H₂C₂O₄] + ln P[H₂C₂O₄]₀) / t = k

1st point:

k = 2,64x10⁻⁵

2nd point:

k = 2,65x10⁻⁵

3rd point:

k = 2,68x10⁻⁵

The averrage of this values is:

k = 2,66x10⁻⁵

That means law is:

v = 2,66x10⁻⁵ P[H₂C₂O₄]

I hope it helps!

The reaction converting glycerol to glycerol-3-phosphate can be represented as: glycerol + hpo42− ⟶ glycerol-3-phosphate + h2o.
Volgvan

Answer;

Yes; this reaction be spontaneous if coupled with the hydrolysis of ATP.

Explanation;

The reaction converting glycerol to glycerol-3-phosphate (energetically unfavorable) can be coupled with the conversion of ATP to ADP (energetically favorable):

Glycerol + HPO42 ⟶glycerol-3-phosphate+H2O

ATP + H2O⟶ ADP + HPO42− + H+

What is the mass of 2.40 moles of magnesium chloride, mgcl2
LiRa [457]

Hey there!

MgCl₂

Find molar mass of magnesium chloride.

Mg: 1 x 24.305

Cl: 2 x 35.453

--------------------  

          95.211 grams

One mole of magnesium chloride has a mass of 95.211 grams.

We have 2.40 moles.

2.40 x 95.211 = 228.5

To 3 sig figs this is 229.

The mass of 2.40 moles of magnesium chloride is 229 grams.

Hope this helps!
