A titration of 0.1 M NaOH into 1.2 L of HCl was stopped once the pH reached 7 (at 25C). If 0.4 L of NaOH needed to be added to a
MArishka [77]

Answer:

0.033 M

Explanation:

Let's consider the neutralization reaction between NaOH and HCl.

NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H₂O

0.4 L of 0.1 M NaOH were used. The reacting moles of NaOH are:

0.4 L × 0.1 mol/L = 0.04 mol

The molar ratio of NaOH to HCl is 1:1. The reacting moles of HCl are 0.04 moles.

0.04 moles of HCl are in 1.2 L. The molarity of HCl is:

M = 0.04 mol / 1.2 L = 0.033 M

PLZ HELP ...The half-life of polonium-218 is 3.0 minutes. If you start with 40.0 g, how long will it be before only 4.5 g remain
Elanso [62]

Answer:-  9.4 minutes.

Solution:- Radioactive decay obeys first order reaction kinetics and the equation used to solve this type of problems is:

lnN=-kt+lnN_0

where, k is decay constant and t is the time. N_0 is the initial amount of the radioactive substance and N is the remaining amount.

Since the value of decay constant is not given, so we need to calculate it first from given half life by using the formula:

k=\frac{0.693}{t_1_/_2}

where t_1_/_2 stands for half life.

Given half life is 3.0 minutes.

So, k=\frac{0.693}{3.0min}

k=0.231min^-^1

Let's plug in the values in the first order reaction equation and solve it for t.

ln4.5g=-0.231min^-^1(t)+ln40.0g

It could also be written as:

ln(\frac{4.5g}{40.0g})=-0.231min^-^1}

-2.18=-0.231min^-^1}

t=\frac{-2.18}{-0.231min^-^1}

k = 9.4 min

So, the radioactive substance would take 9.4 minutes to decay from 40.0 grams to 4.5 grams.

The wavelength of the violet light emitted from a hydrogen atom is 410.1 nm. This light is a result of electronic transitions be
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

e. 4.847 x 10-19 J

Explanation:

From the given information:

The equation connecting the photon energy and the wavelength is:

E_{photon } = \dfrac {hc}{\lambda}

where;

planck's  \ constant  \ (h)= 6.626 * 10 ^{-34} J.s

velocity  \ of \  light \  (c) = 3.00 * 10^8 m/s

wavelength \lambda = 410.1 \ nm \times \dfrac{10^{-9} \ m}{1 \ nm}

\lambda = 4.101 \times 10^{-7} \ m

To determine the photon energy of violet light

E_{photon } = \dfrac {(6.626 \times 10^{-34} J/s ) \times (3.00 \times 10^8 \ m/s) }{4.101 \times 10^{-7} \ m}

= 4.847 × 10⁻¹⁹ J
