Calculate the half-life of different radioactive sources.

1 answer:

7 0

The rate at which a radioactive isotope decays is measured in half-life. The termhalf-life is defined as the time it takes for one-half of the atoms of a radioactive material to disintegrate. Half-lives for various radioisotopes can range from a few microseconds to billions of years.

A 3.4 g sample of sodium hydrogen carbonate is added to a solution of acetic acid weighing 10.9 g. The two substances react, rel

Answer: 2.7 grams

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

$NaHCO_3(aq)+CH_3COOH(aq)\rightarrow CH_3COONa(aq)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)$

Given: mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate = 3.4 g

mass of acetic acid = 10.9 g

Mass of reactants = mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate+ mass of acetic acid = 3.4 + 10.9= 14.3 g

Mass of reactants = Mass of products in reaction vessel + mass of carbon dioxide (as it escapes)

Mass of carbon dioxide = 14.3 - 11.6 =2.7 g

Thus the mass of carbon dioxide released during the reaction is 2.7 grams.
