Answer:

0.0468 g.

Explanation:

  • The decay of radioactive elements obeys first-order kinetics.
  • For a first-order reaction: k = ln2/(t1/2) = 0.693/(t1/2).

Where, k is the rate constant of the reaction.

t1/2 is the half-life time of the reaction (t1/2 = 1620 years).

∴ k = ln2/(t1/2) = 0.693/(1620 years) = 4.28 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹.

  • For first-order reaction: <em>kt = lna/(a-x).</em>

where, k is the rate constant of the reaction (k = 4.28 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹).

t is the time of the reaction (t = t1/2 x 8 = 1620 years x 8 = 12960 year).

a is the initial concentration (a = 12.0 g).

(a-x) is the remaining concentration.

∴ kt = lna/(a-x)

(4.28 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹)(12960 year) = ln(12)/(a-x).

5.54688 = ln(12)/(a-x).

Taking e for the both sides:

256.34 = (12)/(a-x).

<em>∴ (a-x) = 12/256.34 = 0.0468 g.</em>

An unknown metal displaces Ali from solution but does not displace sodium using the activity series determine the unknown metal
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The reactivity of metal is determined by the reactivity series. ... The metal which easily displaced aluminium will lie above in the series but that same element cannot displace sodium, so it will lie below in the series. Hence, from the series, we conclude that the unknown metal could be calcium or magnesium.

Akosua has observed that anytime she drinks sobolo, her stool appears dark green. On one occasion
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

i. Sobolo is a Ghanian drink that is produced from red hibiscus flower that has an average pH of 6.7

It contains cyanidin and anthocyanins, which is a red pigment that is red in an acidic medium and changes green when introduced in a basic medium that has a high pH

The pH at the rectum of the digestive system = 5 to 8 (Slightly basic)

Therefore, what made the stool of Akosua green is that the sobolo drink changes to green in basic solution

ii. The stool which appeared green because she took sobolo turn into bright red upon mixing with the acidic WC water because of the presence of anthocyanins in sobolo, it turns red in an acidic medium

iii. Sobolo which turns green, or blue in a basic medium and red in an acidic medium can be used as a litmus solution to test the pH of a given substance

Explanation:

Sobolo or soobolo in Ghana is a name for the Hibiscus tea or tisane, which is made from calyces of the hibiscus plant, and has a sour (tangy) taste and appears bright red in color
