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

6CO2 + 6 H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.5 moles

Explanation:

Data

moles of Glucose = ?

moles of carbon dioxide = 3

Balanced chemical reaction

                6CO₂  +  6H₂O   ⇒   C₆H₁₂O₆  +  6O₂

Process

To solve this problem, use proportions, and cross multiplication.

Use the coefficients of the balanced equation.

                6 moles of CO₂ ----------------- 1 mol of C₆H₁₂O₆

                3 moles of CO₂ ----------------    x

                    x = (3 x 1) / 6

-Simplification

                    x = 3/6

-Result

                   x = 0.5 moles of Glucose

Manufacturing traditional clayware ceramics typically involves driving off the water of hydration in the clay minerals. The rate
zimovet [89]

The relation between activation energy, rate constant and temperature is given by Arrhenius equation

Arrhenius equation is

ln (K2/ K1) = Ea / R (1/T1- 1/T2)

K2 =  1×10−3s−1  T2 =  525 ∘C = 798 K

K1 = 1×10−4s−1  T1 =  485 ∘c = 758 K

Ea = ?

R = gas constant = 8.314 J / mol K

ln (K2/ K1) = ln (10^-3 / 10^-4) = 2.303 = Ea /8 .314 (1/758 - 1 / 798)

2.303 = Ea / 8.314 (0.00132 - 0.00125)

Ea = 2.303 X 8.314 / (0.00132 - 0.00125)  = 273530.6 J / mole

Ea = activation energy = 273.531 kJ / mole

A 50.0 mL sample of a 0.200 M aqueous solution of Na3PO4 was added to 50.0 mL of a 0.100 M aqueous solution of BaCl2. The mixtur
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

1.02 grams

Explanation:

The reaction between Na₃PO₄ and BaCl₂ is:

2Na₃PO₄(aq) + 3BaCl₂(aq) → Ba₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6NaCl(aq)            

We need to find the number of moles of Na₃PO₄ and BaCl₂:

n_{Na_{3}PO_{4}} = C*V = 0.200 M*0.050 L = 0.01 moles

n_{BaCl_{2}} = C*V = 0.100 M*0.050 L = 0.005 moles

Now, we need to find the limiting reactant:

n_{Na_{3}PO_{4}} = \frac{2}{3}*0.005 moles = 0.0033 moles

We have that it is needed 0.0033 moles of Na₃PO₄ to react with BaCl₂ and we have 0.01 moles of Na₃PO₄, so the limiting reactant is BaCl₂.

The number of moles of Ba₃(PO₄)₂ is:

n_{Ba_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}} = \frac{0.005}{3} = 0.0017 moles

Finally, the mass of Ba₃(PO₄)₂ is:

m = n_{Ba_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}}*M = 0.0017 moles*601.93 g/mol = 1.02 g

Therefore, should be obtained 1.02 grams of the precipitate.

I hope it helps you!
