What was the half-life of a new isotope?

Chemistry

REY [17]3 years ago
8 0
The half-life of any substance is the amount of time taken for half of the original quantity of the substance present to decay. The half-life of a radioactive substance is characteristic to itself, and it may be millions of years long or it may be just a few seconds.

In order to determine the half-life of a substance, we simply use:
t(1/2) = ln(2) / λ

Where λ is the decay constant for that specific isotope.

How many grams of h2 are needed to produce 10.78 g of nh3?
balu736 [363]
Ammonia is formed by a reaction between hydrogen and nitrogen as shown by the equation below.
N2(g) + 3H2(g) = 2NH3(g)
1 mole of ammonia contains 17 g
Therefore 10.78 g of ammonia are equivalent to 10.78/17 = 0.6341 moles
The mole ratio of hydrogen to ammonia is 3 : 2
Therefore, moles of hydrogen used will be  0.6341 × 3/2 = 0.9512 moles
1 mole of hydrogen is equivalent to 2 g
Thus, the mas of hydrogen will be 0.9512 moles × 2 = 1.9023 g

What is the molarity of an H3PO4solution if 15.0 mL is completely neutralized by 38.5 mL of 0.150 MNaOH? Please explain your ans
rodikova [14]

Answer:

M=Molarity

V=volume

change millilitre to litre

so:15ml=0.015 L

:38.5ml=0.0385 L

M1V1=M1V1

M1* 0.015 L= 0.15M*0.0385 L

M1=0.00385

15.0 g of Fe and 25.0 g of sand are added to 250.0 g of water. a. Determine the percent mass of Fe, sand, and water in the mixtu
lana [24]

Answer:

A. percentage mass of iron = 5.17%

percentage mass of sand  = 8.62%

percentage mass of water = 86.205%

B. (Iron + sand + water) -------> ( iron + sand) ------> sand

C. The step of separation of iron and sand

Explanation:

A. Percentage mass of the mixtures:

Total mass of mixture = (15.0 + 25.0 + 250.0) g =290.0 g

percentage mass of iron = 15/290 * 100% = 5.17%

percentage mass of sand = 25/290 * 100% = 8.62%

percentage mass of water = 250/290 * 100% = 86.205%

B. Flow chart of separation procedure

(Iron + sand + water) -------> separation by filtration using filter paper and funnel to remove water --------> ( iron + sand) -----------> separation using magnet to remove iron ------> sand

C. The step of separation of iron and sand by magnetization of iron will have the highest amount of error because during the process, some iron particles may not readily be attracted to the magnet as they may have become interlaced in-between sand grains. Also, some sand particle may also be attracted to the magnet as they are are borne on iron particles.
