Answer:

1034 yrs

Explanation:

The equation to use in this question is:

t = -2.303/k log (A/A₀) where

A=    present number of disintegrations

A₀ =  intial number of disintegrations

k =  decay constant

The decay constant we will obtain it from the given hal-life:

k: 0.693/t₁/₂,        t₁/₂ = half-life   ⇒

k: 0.693 / 5730 y =  1.209 x 10⁻⁴ /y⁻¹

t = - 2.303 / 1.209 x 10⁻⁴ /y⁻¹ x log (13.1/15.3) =  1034 yrs

Calculate the maximum volume in ml of 0.15M HCl that each of the following antacid formulations would be expected to neutralize.
vlada-n [284]

a. 34 mL; b. 110 mL

a. A tablet containing 150 Mg(OH)₂


Mg(OH)₂ + 2HCl ⟶ MgCl₂ + 2H₂O


<em>Moles of Mg(OH)₂</em> = 150 mg Mg(OH)₂ × [1 mmol Mg(OH)₂/58.32 mg Mg(OH)₂

= 2.572 mmol Mg(OH)₂


<em>Moles of HCl</em> = 2.572 mmol Mg(OH)₂ × [2 mmol HCl/1 mmol Mg(OH)₂]

= 5.144 mmol HCl


Volume of HCl = 5.144 mmol HCl × (1 mmol HCl/0.15 mmol HCl) = 34 mL HCl


b. A tablet containing 850 mg CaCO₃


CaCO₃ + 2HCl ⟶ CaCl₂ + CO₂ + H₂O


<em>Moles of CaCO₃</em> = 850 mg CaCO₃ × [1 mmol CaCO₃/100.09 mg CaCO₃

= 8.492 mmol CaCO₃


<em>Moles of HCl</em> = 8.492 mmol CaCO₃ × [2 mmol HCl/1 mmol CaCO₃]

= 16.98 mmol HCl


Volume of HCl = 16.98 mmol HCl × (1 mL HCl/0.15 mmol HCl) = 110 mL HCl
