How can you simulate the radioactive half-life of an element?

Chemistry

ch4aika [34]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

TRIAL 1:

For “Event 0”, put 100 pennies in a large plastic or cardboard container.

For “Event 1”, shake the container 10 times. This represents a radioactive decay event.

Open the lid. Remove all the pennies that have turned up tails. Record the number removed.

Record the number of radioactive pennies remaining.

For “Event 2”, replace the lid and repeat steps 2 to 4.

Repeat for Events 3, 4, 5 … until no pennies remain in the container.

TRIAL 2:

Repeat Trial 1, starting anew with 100 pennies.

Calculate for each event the average number of radioactive pennies that remain after shaking.

Plot the average number of radioactive pennies after shaking vs. the Event Number. Start with Event 0, when all the pennies are radioactive. Estimate the half-life — the number of events required for half of the pennies to decay.

The pHof a buffer solution containing 0.10 Macetic acid and 0.10 M
zysi [14]

<span>Chemical reaction: CH</span>₃COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) ⇄ CH₃COOH(aq).

H⁺ is from HNO₃: HNO₃ → H⁺ + NO₃⁻.

<span>A buffer can be defined as a substance that prevents the pH of a solution from changing by either releasing or absorbing H</span>⁺ in a solution.

Buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components and it is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, pH of the solution is relatively stable.

How does maximum boiling azeotropic mixture is separated using fractional distillation?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

By heating the mixture to maximum boiling point and then the solution is distilled at a constant temperature without having a change in composition.

Explanation:

An azeotropic mixture is also called a constant boiling mixture and it is a mixture of two or more liquids whose proportions cannot be altered by simple distillation due to the fact that when an azeotropic mixture is boiled, the vapor has the same proportions of constituents as the unboiled mixture.

Now, maximum boiling azeotropic mixture are the solutions with negative deviations that have an intermediate composition  for which the vapor pressure of the solution is minimum and as a result, the boiling point is maximum. At that point, the solution will distill at a constant temperature without having a change in composition.
