What would the percentage of thorium-232 (parent compound) be in a rock that was dated 1.4 billion years?

Chemistry

Answer:

93.33%

Explanation:

Thorium is a radioactive element with a molecular weight of 232g/mol. Thorium is very stable and can have 14.05 billion years of half-life period. Every half-life passed, the parent compound mass will be decayed by half. If the age of the rock is 1.4 billion years, then the amount of the parent compound will be:r = ½^(time elapsed/half-life)

r = ½^(1.4bil years/14.05 bil years)

r = ½^(0.0996)= 0.9333

r= 93.33%

The rock will have 93.33% of the parent compound and 6.67% of the decayed compound.

After mixing an excess PbCl2 with a fixed amount of water, it is found that the equilibrium concentration of Pb2 is
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Ksp = 8.8x10⁻⁵

Explanation:

<em>Full question is:</em>

<em>After mixing an excess PbCl2 with a fixed amount of water, it is found that the equilibrium concentration of Pb2+ is 2.8 × 10–2 M. What is Ksp for PbCl2?</em>

<em />

When an excess of PbCl₂ is added to water, Pb²⁺ and Cl⁻ ions are produced following Ksp equilibrium:

PbCl₂(s) ⇄ Pb²⁺ + 2Cl⁻

Ksp = [Pb²⁺] [Cl⁻]²

If an excess of PbCl₂ was added, an amount of Pb²⁺ is produced (X) and twice Pb²⁺ is produced as Cl⁻ (2X):

Ksp = [X] [2X]²

Ksp = 4X³

As X is the amount of Pb²⁺ = 2.8x10⁻²M:

Ksp = 4(2.8x10⁻²)³

<h3>Ksp = 8.8x10⁻⁵</h3>
