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

In a study of the following reaction at 1200 K it was observed that when the equilibrium partial pressure of water vapor is 15.0
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

The value of K_p for this reaction at 1200 K is 4.066.

Explanation:

Partial pressure of water vapor at equilibrium = p^o_{H_2O}=15.0 Torr

Partial pressure of hydrogen gas at equilibrium = p^o_{H_2}=?

Total pressure of the system at equilibrium P = 36.3 Torr

Applying Dalton's law of partial pressure to determine the partial pressure of hydrogen gas at equilibrium:

P=p^o_{H_2O}+p^o_{H_2}

p^o_{H_2}=P-p^o_{H_2O}=36.3 Torr- 15.0 Torr = 21.3 Torr

3 Fe(s) 4 H_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons Fe_3O_4(s) 4 H_2(g)

The expression of K_p is given by:

K_p=\frac{(p^o_{H_2})^4}{(p^o_{H_2O})^4}

K_p=\frac{(21.3 Torr)^4}{(15.0 Torr)^4}=4.066

The value of K_p for this reaction at 1200 K is 4.066.

Which of the following elements would require the most energy to
umka2103 [35]

Option D:  Chromium would require the most energy to convert one mole of gaseous atoms into gaseous ions each carrying two positive charges.

<h3>What does the term “ionization energy” mean? </h3>

The ionization energy measures an element’s ability for participating in any chemical processes that calls up for the creation of ions or the donation of other electrons.

It is defined as the energy that any electron present in a gaseous atom or ion has in order to absorb so that it comes out of the influence of the nucleus and hence freely move

Ionization energy is also said as the minimum energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron that is present in an isolated gaseous atom or a positive ion or a molecule.

It can be easily connected to the type of chemical bonds that exist between the components in the compounds that they form.

<h3>Which element ionizes most energetically?</h3>

Helium, because it has the highest first ionization energy, whereas francium has one of the lowest.

Question
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Sln

n=m/mr

n=25/100

n=0.25mole of Caco3

Malality =number of moles/volume (divided by number of moles both sides)

volume =Malality /number of moles

v=0.125/0.25

v=0.500L

I hope this help
