So half life is the time taken for a sample to decay to half its original mass, its a constant and applies to any original mass, it could be 5g or 1kg, it will take the same amount of time for the original mass to half. In this case the half life is 3 days.
After 3 days the sample will be at half its original mass, now 50g.
Now we can treat the 50g as if its a new sample. After another 3 days (6 days in total) there will be half of 50g left, = 25g.
The number of moles of one substance given the amount in mass can be calculated by the use of the molar mass. This is the mass of a compound per 1 mol of the said substance. For, KCl the molar mass is 74.55 g/ mol
148 g / 74.55 g/mol = 2 mol KCl
Hope this answers the question. have a nice day.
Answer:
Kindly check the explanation section.
Explanation:
Based on the description of the reacting -OH group containing Compound, the drawing of the chemical compound is given in the attached picture.
So, without mincing words let's dive straight into the solution to the question.
The reaction between the OH containing compound and PCC is an oxidation reaction.
Looking at the carbon number 1 which the first OH group and CH3 are attached to. Oxidation can not occur here as tertiary alcohol can not be oxidize.
Hence, the second OH will be oxidized into a carbonyl group, C = O. Kindly note that when alcohol oxidizes it turns into an aldehyde.
The equation for the reaction is also given the the attached picture.
