<h3>Answer:</h3>

6.25 atoms

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given</u>;

  • The half life of Po-218 is 3 minutes
  • Initial sample is 200 atom
  • Time of decay is 15 minutes

We are required to calculate the remaining mass after decay;

Half life refers to the time taken for original amount of a radioactive sample to decay to a half.

To calculate the remaining mass we use the formula;

N = N₀ × 0.5^n where n is the number of half lives, N is the new amount and N₀ is the original amount.

n = 15 min ÷ 3 min

  = 5

Therefore;

New amount = 200 atom × 0.5^5

                      = 6.25 atoms

Therefore; the amount of the sample that will remain after 15 minutes is 6.25 atoms.

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Propane = C₃H₈

Process

1.- Write the chemical reaction

                     C₃H₈  +  O₂   ⇒   CO₂  +  H₂O

balanced chemical reaction

                      C₃H₈  +  5O₂   ⇒  3CO₂  +  4H₂O

               Reactants      Elements     Products

                      3                    C                  3

                      8                    H                  8

                     10                    O                 10

b) Standard enthalpy

Propane                  -104.7 kJ/mol

Oxygen                         0   kJ/mol

Carbon dioxide      -393.5 kJ/mol

Water                      -241.8 kJ/mol

ΔH° = ∑ΔH° products - ∑H° reactants

ΔH° = 3(-393.5) + 4(-241.8) - [(-104.7) + 0]

-Simplification

ΔH° = -1180.5 kJ/mol - 967.2 kJ/mol + 104.7 kJ/mol

ΔH° = - 2042.5 kJ/mol

This reaction is exothermic because ΔH° is negative.
