The half life of Po-218 is three minutes. How much of a 200 atom sample will remain after 15 minutes

Chemistry

MakcuM [25]3 years ago

<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.

What is the molarity of 50.84 g of Na2CO3 dissolved in 0.400 L solution?
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

1.20 M

Explanation:

Convert grams of Na₂CO₃ to moles.  (50.84 g)/(105.99 g/mol) = 0.4797 mol

Molarity is (moles of solute)/(liters of solvent) = (0.4797 mol)/(0.400 L) = 1.20 M

Calculate the ph of the solution resulting by mixing 20.0 ml of 0.15 m hcl with 20.0 ml of 0.10 m koh
Aliun [14]

Answer:

1.60.

Explanation:

  • The no. of millimoles of HCl = MV = (0.15 M)(20.0 mL) = 3.0 mmol.
  • The no. of millimoles of KOH = MV = (0.10 M)(20.0 mL) = 2.0 mmol.

<em>Since the no. of millimoles of HCl is larger than that of KOH. The solution is acidic.</em>

<em></em>

∴ M of remaining HCl [H⁺] remaining = (NV)HCl - (NV)KOH/V total = (3.0 mmol) - (2.0 mmol) / (40.0 mL) = 0.025 M.

∵ pH = - log[H⁺]

<em>∴ pH = - log[H⁺] </em>= - log(0.025) = <em>1.602 ≅ 1.60.</em>
