What was the half-life of a new isotope?

Chemistry

REY [17]3 years ago

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.

If the value of Kp for N2+3H2...2NH3 is 4/27, then for which of following reaction the value of Kp is reciprocal of above reacti
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

C. 2O₃ ⇌ 3O₂

Explanation:

Kp is the equilibrium constant calculated from the partial pressures of a gas-phase reaction equation.

For a general gas-phase reaction aA + bB ⇌ nC + xD

the expression for the Kp = (pC)ⁿ(pD)ˣ / (pA)ᵃ(pB)ᵇ

where pA = partial pressure of A; pB = partial pressure of B; pC = partial pressure of C; pD = partial pressure of D

From the given reaction in equilibrium;  N₂ + 3H₂  ⇌ 2NH₃

Kp = (pNH₃)² / (pN₂)¹ * (pH₂)³ = 4/7

(pNH₃)² / (pN₂)¹ * (pH₂)³ = (2)²/ (1)¹ * (3)³

Therefore, number of mole of reactants and products is equivalent to partial pressure.

A. 2SO₂ ⇌ O₂ + 2SO₃

pSO₂ = 2, pO₂ = 1, pSO₃ = 2,

Kp =  2²/ (2² * 1²) = 4/4 = 1

B. N₂O₄ ⇌ 2NO₂

pN₂O₄ = 1, pNO₂ = 2

Kp = 2²/1² = 4

C. 2O₃ ⇌ 3O₂

pO₃ = 2, pO₂ = 3

Kp = 3³/2² = 27/4

D. PCl₅ ⇌ PCl₃ + Cl₂

pPCl₅ = 1, pPCl₃ = 1, pCl₂ = 1

Kp = (1¹ * 1¹) / 1¹ = 1
