1. <em>Balancing nuclear equations </em>
Answer:
Explanation:
The main point to remember in balancing nuclear equations is that the <em>sums of the superscripts</em> (the mass numbers) and the <em>subscripts</em> (the nuclear charges) <em>must balance</em>.
Mass numbers: 37 + 0 = 37; balanced.
Charges: 18 + 1 = 17; balanced
B is <em>wrong</em>. Mass numbers not balanced. 6 +2(1) ≠ 4 + 3.
C is <em>wron</em>g. Mass numbers not balanced. 254 + 4 ≠ 258 + 2(1).
D is <em>wron</em>g. Mass numbers not balanced. 14 + 4 ≠ 17 + 2.

2. <em>Amount remaining </em>
Answer:
D. 5.25 g
Explanation:
The half-life of Th-234 (24 da) is the time it takes for half the Th to decay.
After one half-life, half (50 %) of the original amount will remain.
After a second half-life, half of that amount (25 %) will remain, and so on.
We can construct a table as follows:
No. of Fraction Amount
<u>half-lives</u> <u>t/(da</u>) <u>remaining</u> <u>remaining/g</u>
1 24 ½ 21.0
2 48 ¼ 10.5
3 72 ⅛ 5.25
4 96 ¹/₁₆ 2.62
We see that 72 da is three half-lives, and the amount of Th-234 remaining is 5.25 g.
===============
3.<em> Calculating the half-life </em>
Answer:
a. 2.6 min
Explanation:
The fraction of the original mass remaining is 1.0 g/4.0 g ≈ ¼.
We saw from the previous table that it takes two half-lives to decay to ¼ of the original amount.
2 half-lives = 5.2 min Divide both sides by 2
1 half-life = 5.2 min/2 = 2.6 min
Answer:
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, since the enthalpy change for any process is computed by subtracting the enthalpy of the final state and the enthalpy of the initial state, for the given phase change, we subtract the enthalpy of the liquid (final state) and the enthalpy of the solid (initial state) considering this a melting process:
Which makes sense because this process absorbs energy.
Best regards!
