c) 3.9x10^4
To determine what percentage of an isotope remains after a given length of time, you can use the formula
p = 2^(-x)
where
p = percentage remaining
x = number of half lives expired.
The number of half lives expired is simply
x = t/h
where
x = number of half lives expired
t = time spent
h = length of half life.
So the overall formula becomes
p = 2^(-t/h)
And since we're starting with 1.1x10^10 atoms, we can simply multiply that by the percentage. So, the answers rounding to 2 significant figures are:
a) 1.1x10^10 * 2^(-5/10.5) = 1.1x10^10 * 0.718873349 = 7.9x10^9
b) 1.1x10^10 * 2^(-30/10.5) = 1.1x10^10 * 0.138011189 = 1.5x10^9
c) 1.1x10^10 * 2^(-190/10.5) = 1.1x10^10 * 3.57101x10^-6 = 3.9x10^4</span>
Explanation:
Ionic equation
NaCl(aq) --> Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
Na2SO4(aq) --> 2Na+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq)
In NaCl solution, 1 mole of Na+ is dissociated in 1 liter of solution while in Na2SO4, 2 moles of Na+ is dissociated in 1 liter of solution.
Molecular weight of NA2SO4 = (23*2) + 32 + (16*4)
= 142 g/mol
Molecular weight of NaCl = 23 + 35.5
= 58.5 g/mol
Masses
% Mass of NA+ in Na2SO4 = mass of Na+/total mass of Na2SO4 * 100
= 46/142 * 100
= 32.4%
% Mass of NA+ in NaCl = mass of Na+/total mass of NaCl * 100
= 23/58.5 * 100
= 39.3%
Therefore, the % mass of Na+ in NaCl and Na2SO4 are different so it cannot be used.
