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 mass of magnesium bromide is formed when 1.00 g of magnesium reacts with 5.00 g of bromine?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

3.39g of MgBr

Explanation:

Reaction between magnesium and bromine

Mg + Br₂ → MgBr

Mass of MgBr = ?

1g of Mg + 5.0g of Br₂

6g of Mg and Br₂

Molar mass of Mg = 24g/mol

Molar mass of Br = 80g/mol

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Mass = number of moles * molarmass

Mass of Mg = 1 * 24 = 24g

Mass of Br₂ = 1 * (2*80) = 160g (diatomic molecule)

Molarmass of MgBr = (24 + 80) = 104g/mol

Mass of MgBr = 1 * 104 = 104g/mol

24g of Mg + 160g of Br₂ = 104g of MgBr

184g of (mg and Br) = 104g of mgBr

6g of (mg and Br) = y g of MgBr

y = (6 * 104) / 184

y = 3.39g of MgBr

How many moles of PC15 can be produced from 51.0 g of Cl2 (and excess P4)?
slava [35]

Answer:

0.287 mole of PCl5.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 51g of Cl2. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of Cl2 = 2 x 35.5 = 71g/mol

Mass of Cl2 = 51g

Number of mole of Cl2 =..?

Mole = Mass /Molar Mass

Number of mole of Cl2 = 51/71 = 0.718 mole

Next, we shall write the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

P4 + 10Cl2 → 4PCl5

Finally, we determine the number of mole of PCl5 produced from the reaction as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

10 moles of Cl2 reacted to produce 4 moles of PCl5.

Therefore, 0.718 mole of Cl2 will react to produce = (0.718 x 4)/10 = 0.287 mole of PCl5.

Therefore, 0.287 mole of PCl5 is produced from the reaction.

Which phrase accurately describes an elliptical galaxy?
Crank

Answer:

Elliptical galaxies are one of the three types of galaxies. They have a rounded shape of an ellipse, like a stretched-out circle. They lack the swirling arms that are a main feature of spiral galaxies.

For some hypothetical metal, the equilibrium number of vacancies at 600°C is 1 × 1025 m-3. If the density and atomic weight of t
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

fraction of vacancies for this metal FV = 1.918*10⁻⁴

Explanation:

Given:

The number of vacancies per unit volume => ( Nv = 1*10²⁵ m⁻³ )

But we know that Avogrado's constant NA = 6.022*10²³ atoms/mol

Density of the material is given in g/cm3 we need to convert it to g/m³

Density of material ( p ) in g/m³ :

To convert we know that

1 g/cm³ = 1000000 g/m³ then

7.40 * ( 1000000 ) = 7.40*10⁶ g/m³

So, Density of material ( p ) in g/m³ = 7.40*10⁶ g/m³

Given Atomic mass = 85.5 g/mol

To Calculate the number of atomic sites per unit volume , we will use the below formula by substituting those values above

N = NA * p / A

N = ( 6.022*10²³ ) * ( 7.40*10⁶ ) / 85.5

N = 4.45*10³⁰ / 85.5

N = 5.212*10²⁸ atoms/m³

We can now Calculate the fraction of vacancies using the formula below;

Fv = Nv / N

Fv = 1*10²⁵ / 5.212*10²⁸

fraction of vacancies for this metal at 600c.= 1.918*10⁻⁴
