What was the half-life of a new isotope?

Chemistry
1 answer:
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.

What is the stoichiometric coefficient for oxygen when the following equation is balanced using the lowest whole-number coeffici
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Option (B) 7

Explanation:

C3H6O2(l) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)

To know the coefficient of O2 in the above equation, let us balance the equation.

The above equation can be balance as follow:

C3H6O2(l) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l)

There are 3 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of CO2 as shown below:

C3H6O2(l) + O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + H2O(l)

There are 6 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of H2O as shown below:

C3H6O2(l) + O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)

There are a total of 4 atoms of O on the left side and a total of 9 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 7/2 in front of O2 as show below:

C3H6O2(l) + 7/2O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)

Multiply through by 2

2C3H6O2(l) + 7O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)

Now, the equation is balanced.

From the balanced equation above, the coefficient of O2 is 7.

Calculate the molarity of a solution of Nach if it contains 7.2.g Nach in 100.0 mL of solution. andver: m Nach . .
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

1.23 M

Explanation:

Molarity of a substance , is the number of moles present in a liter of solution .

M = n / V

M = molarity  

V = volume of solution in liter ,

n = moles of solute ,

Moles is denoted by given mass divided by the molecular mass ,  

Hence ,  

n = w / m

n = moles ,  

w = given mass ,  

m = molecular mass .

From the question ,

w = given mass of NaCl = 7.2 g

As we know , the molecular mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol

Moles is calculated as -

n = w / m  =  7.2 g / 58.5 g/mol = 0.123 mol

Molarity is calculated as -

V = 100ml = 0.1 L            (since , 1 ml = 1/1000L )

M = n / V  =  0.123 mol / 0.1 L = 1.23 M
