The isotope Np-238 has a half life of 2.0 days if 96 grams of it were present on Monday how much will remain six days later

Chemistry
1 answer:
Neporo4naja [7]3 years ago

Answer:

12 grams

Explanation:

For any radioactive substance

the amount of substance left after n half life  is given by = x/2^n

where x the original amount of substance.

____________________________________________

Half life of isotope Np-238 = 2 days

total no of days = 6

no of half life =total no of days/Half life of isotope Np-238 = 6/2 = 3

thus,

for our problem n = 3

initial amount of Np-238 = 96 grams

thus,

the amount of substance left after 3 half life = 96/2^3 = 96/8 = 12 grams.

Thus, 12 grams will be left after six days.

The reaction, 2C4H10 (g) + 13O2 (g) à 8CO2 (g) + 5H2O (g), is the combustion of butane. What occurs as the reaction proceeds?
Solnce55 [7]
The reaction, 2 C4H10 (g) + 13 O2 (g) = 8 CO2 (g) + 5 H2O (g), is the combustion of butane.   A combustion reaction involves the reaction of a hydrocarbon with oxygen producing carbon dioxide and water. This reaction is exothermic which means it releases energy in the form of heat. Therefore, as the reaction proceeds,a heat energy is being given off by the reaction. This happens because the total kinetic energy of the reactants is greater than the total kinetic energy of the products. So, the excess energy should be given off somewhere which in this case is released as heat.

2. How many moles are in 2.8 Liters of CO2 gas?
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

0.125 moles

Explanation:

2.8 litres is equivalent to 2.8dm³

At STP,

1 mole = 22.4 dm³

x mole = 2.8 dm³

Cross multiply

22.4x = 2.8

Divide both sides by 22.4

x = 2.8/22.4

x = 0.125

Which is heavier einsteinium (Es) or europium (Eu)
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Einsteinium is heavier

Explanation:

Atomic weight is what we are referring to when figuring out how heavy an element is and is measured in amu (atomic mass units)

(This is also the same as the molar mass how heavy 6.022 x 10^23 atoms of a substance or element is which is measured in grams)

The atomic weight of an element can be found on a periodic table.

Europium has an atomic mass of approximately 152 amu (atomic mass units)

Einsteinium has an atomic mass of approximately 252 amu.

Einsteinium has a higher atomic weight so it's heavier.

There's another easier way of going about it where you don't even have to think about the actual number and basically just look at the element's atomic number and position on the periodic table.

Eu is 63

Es is 99

As the atomic number increases on the periodic table this means it's number of protons is greater.

Protons lie in the nucleus which has most of the atom's weight so the more protons the heavier it is.

Einsteinium has a higher atomic number meaning it has more protons so we can assume it's the heavier one.

Hope this helps!
