Polonium- 210 , Po210 , decays to lead- 206 , Pb206 , by alpha emission according to the equation Po84210⟶Pb82206+He24 If the ha

lf-life, ????1/2 , of Po210 is 138.4 days , calculate the mass of Pb206 produced from a 561.0 mg sample of polonium(IV) chloride, PoCl4 , that is left untouched for 333.8 days . Assume that the only polonium isotope present in the sample is the Po210 isotope. The isotopic molar masses of Po210 is 209.98 g/mol and Pb206 is 205.97 g/mol .

Answer:

0.269 g

Explanation:

Po_{210} ^{84}  ⟶  Pb_{206} ^{82}+  + He_{4} ^{2}

Data:

Half-life of  Po_{210} ^{84}  (T(1/2)) = 138.4 days

Mass of PoCl4 = 561 mg (0,561 g) and molecular weight of PoCl4 = 350. 79 g/mol  

Time = 338.8 days  

Isotopic masses  

Po_{210} ^{84} = 209.98 g/mol  

Pb_{206} ^{82} = 205.97 g/mol  

Concepts  

Avogadro’s number: This is the number of constituent particles that are contained in a mol of any substance. These constituted particles can be atoms, molecules or ions). Its value is 6.023*10^23.  

The radioactive decay law is  

N=Noe^(-λt)

Where:  

No = number of atoms in t=0

N = number of atoms in t=t (now) in this case t=338.8 days  

λ= radioactive decay constant  

The radioactive constant is related to the half-life by the next equation  

λ= \frac{ln 2}{t(1/2)}

so  

λ= \frac{ln2}{138.4 days}  =0,005008 days^(-1)

No (Atoms of  Po_{210} ^{84}  in t=0)

To get No we need to calculate the number of atoms of  Po_{210} ^{84}   in the initial sample. We have a sample of 0,561 g of PoCl4. If we get the number of moles of PoCl4 in the sample, this will be the number of moles of  Po_{210} ^{84}  in the initial sample.  

This is:

\frac{0,561 g of PoCl4}{350. 79 g of PoCl4 /mol} = 0,001599 mol of  PoCl4

This is the number of mol of  Po_{210} ^{84} in the initial sample.

To get the number of atoms in the initial sample we use the Avogadro’s number = 6.023*10^23  

0,001599 mol of  Po_{210} ^{84} * 6.023*10^23 atoms/ mol of  Po_{210} ^{84} = 9.632 *10^20 atoms of  Po_{210} ^{84}

Atoms after 338.8 days

We use the radioactive decay law to get this value  

N=Noe^(-λt)

N=9.632*10^20 e^(-0,005008 days^(-1) * 338.8 days) =1.765*10^20

This is the number of atoms of  Po_{210} ^{84} in the sample after 338.8 days has passed  

The number of atoms  Po_{210} ^{84} transformed is equal to the number of atoms of Pb_{206} ^{82}  produced.  

The number of atoms of Po_{210} ^{84} transformed is No - N  

9.632 *10^20 – 1.765 *10^20 = 7.866*10^20

So, 7.866*10^20 is the number of atoms of Pb_{206} ^{82} produced  

We can get the mass with the Avogadro’s number

(7.866*10^20 atoms of Pb_{206} ^{82} ) / ( 6.023*10^23 atoms of Pb_{206} ^{82} / mol of Pb_{206} ^{82} =  0.001306 moles of Pb_{206} ^{82}

This number of moles have a mass of:

(0,001306 moles of Pb_{206} ^{82} )* (205.97 g of Pb_{206} ^{82} /mol of Pb_{206} ^{82} ) = 0.269 g

Answer:

The physical and chemical properties of the product do not match the properties of the reactant.

Explanation:

Chemical change:

The changes, that occur due to change in the composition of a substance and result in a different compound is known as chemical change.

These changes are irreversible

These changes occur due to chemical reactions

These may not be observed with naked eye

Example:

Combustion of fuel or wood: that oil or wood convert into energy, CO2 and ash in case of wood

Boiling of egg: that change the chemical composition of protein in the egg .

The reaction of Hydrogen and oxygen:

H 2 (g)  + O 2  (g) -------------------------------------> 2H 2O  (l)

The reaction between sugar and oxygen form a product which is different from the reactant that's why it indicate the occurrence of chemical reaction.

While in case of physical changes just state of matter are changed. Properties remain same.

In the determining molar volume experiment, we will use water. how will vapor pressure play a role in this experiment?
Bas_tet [7]
Molar volume is a property of a component in a solution. It is defined as the volume occupied by one mole of the component in the closed system. You would not expect all solutions to execute volume additivity because intermolecular forces between the components come into play. There is no such thing as conservation of volume. 

Vapor pressure affects molar volume because gases are very sensitive by these process conditions. Vapor pressure is very temperature-dependent. Consequently, at a different temperature, your component could expand or compress, thus, affecting the molar volume. Moreover, the pressure affects the molecular collisions in the system.
