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.

frutty [35]

Answer:

2 HCl + Ba(OH)₂ ⇒ BaCl₂ + 2 H₂O

Explanation:

In a complete neutralization reaction, an acid reacts with a base to form neutral salt and water. To form barium chloride, hydrochloric acid (acid) reacts with barium hydroxide  (base). The balanced chemical equation is:

2 HCl + Ba(OH)₂ ⇒ BaCl₂ + 2 H₂O

How many moles of Fe2O3 are in 203 g of the compound?
ruslelena [56]
The equation is :
moles=mass/molar mass
so, the mass is 203 and molar mass is 159.69 
You divide the 203 by 156.69 as the equation shows
so the moles is 1.27 mol.

Calculate the energy required to melt 21 g of ice at 0 oC.
vladimir1956 [14]

<u>We are given:</u>

Mass of ice = 21 grams

The ice is already at 0°c, the temperature at which it melts to form water

Molar heat of fusion of Ice = 6.02 kJ/mol

<u>Finding the energy required:</u>

<u>Number of moles of Ice: </u>

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Number of moles = given mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 21 / 18 = 7/6 moles

<u>Energy required to melt the given amount of ice:</u>

Energy = number of moles * molar heat of fusion

Energy = (7/6) * (6.02)

Energy = 7.02 kJ OR 7020 joules
