Lilit [14]3 years ago
3 0
Decay is a type of degradation reaction and thus is considered a first order reaction. thus the formula goes like this.
 
rate constant= 0.693/half life

so here...

rate constant= 0.693/1620 year^-1

Based upon the following diagram, propose a possible identity for atoms X and Y. Explain your answer in terms of the periodic ta
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Up until now we have been discussing only the elemental forms of atoms which are neutrally charged. This is because the number of electrons (negative in charge) is equal to the number of protons (positive in charge). The overall charge on the atom is zero, because the magnitude of the negative charge is the same as the magnitude of the positive charge. This one-to-one ratio of charges is not, however, the most common state for many elements. Deviations from this ratio result in charged particles called ions.

Throughout nature, things that are high in energy tend to move toward lower energy states. Lower energy configurations are more stable, so things are naturally drawn toward them. For atoms, these lower energy states are represented by the noble gas elements. These elements have electron configurations characterized by full s and p subshells. This makes them stable and unreactive. They are already at a low energy state, so they tend to stay as they are.

The elements in the other groups have subshells that are not full, so they are unstable when compared to the noble gases. This instability drives them toward the lower energy states represented by the noble gases that are nearby in the periodic table. In these lower energy states, the outermost energy level has eight electrons (an “octet”). The tendency of an atom toward a configuration in which it possesses eight valence electrons is referred to as the “Octet Rule.”

There are two ways for an atom that does not have an octet of valence electrons to obtain an octet in its outer shell. One way is the transfer of electrons between two atoms until both atoms have octets. Because some atoms will lose electrons and some atoms will gain electrons, there is no overall change in the number of electrons, but with the transfer of electrons the individual atoms acquire a nonzero electric charge. Those that lose electrons become positively charged, and those that gain electrons become negatively charged. Recall that atoms carrying positive or negative charges are called ions. If an atom has gained one or more electrons, it is negatively charged and is called an anion. If an atom has lost one or more electrons, it is positively charged and is called a cation. Because opposite charges attract (while like charges repel), these oppositely charged ions attract each other, forming ionic bonds. The resulting compounds are called ionic compounds.

The second way for an atom to obtain an octet of electrons is by sharing electrons with another atom. These shared electrons simultaneously occupy the outermost shell of both atoms. The bond made by electron sharing is called a covalent bond. Covalent bonding and covalent compounds will be discussed in Chapter 4 “Covalent Bonding and Simple Molecular Compounds”.

At the end of chapter 2, we learned how to draw the electron dot symbols to represent the valence electrons for each of the elemental families.  This skill will be instrumental in learning about ions and ionic bonding. Looking at Figure 3.1, observe the Noble Gas family of elements. The electron dot symbol for the Nobel Gas family clearly indicates that the valence electron shell is completely full with an octet of electrons.  If you look at the other families, you can see how many electrons they will need to gain or lose to reach the octet state.  Above, we noted that elements are the most stable when they can reach the octet state. However, it should also be noted that housing excessively high negative or positive charge is unfavorable.  Thus, elements will reach the octet state and also maintain the lowest charge possible.   You will note that for the IA, IIA, IIIA and transition metals groups, it is more economical to lose electrons (1-3 electrons) from their valence shells to reach the octet state, rather than to gain 5-7 electrons.  Similarly main group columns VA, VIA, and VIIA tend to gain electrons (1-3) to complete their octet, rather than losing 5-7 electrons. Some atoms, like carbon, are directly in the middle.  These atoms don’t like to gain or lose electrons, but tend to favor the sharing model of chemical bonding. The remaining sections of this chapter will focus on the formation of ions and the resulting ionic compounds.

In a reaction between 6.0 g of oxygen gas, 4.0 g of hydrogen gas, and 5.0 g of solid sulfur at standard temperature and pressure
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The limiting reagent is the O₂

Explanation:

We can think, this reaction

2O₂(g) + H₂(g) + S(s)  →  H₂SO₄

Mole of each = Mass / molar mass

6 g / 32 g/m = 0.187 mole O₂

4g / 2 g/m = 2 mole H₂

5g / 32.06 g/m = 0.156 mole S

Ratio between reactants is 2:1:1, 1:2:1, 1:1:2

For 2 mole of O₂, I need to react 1 mol of H₂ and 1 mol of S

0.187 mole of O₂, I need (the half)

0.093 mole of H₂ and 0.093 mole of S

For 1 mole of H₂, I need to react 2 mole of O₂ and 1 mol of S

2 mole of H₂, I need (the double of O₂ and the same for S)

4 mole of O₂ ; 2 mole of S

For 1 mol of S, I need to react 1 mol of H₂ and 2 mole of O₂

0.156 mole I need the same amount for H₂ and the double for O₂

0.156 mole of H₂ and 0.312 mole of O₂

In both cases, I can't make react, all the mass of oxygen, so this is the limiting reagent.

There is a 30g of be-11 it has a half-life of about 14 seconds how much will be left in 28 seconds
Lelu [443]

There will be 7.5 g of Be-11 remaining after 28 s.

If 14 s = 1 half-life, 28 s = 2 half-lives.

After the first half-life, ½ of the Be-11 (15 g) will disappear, and 15 g will remain.

After the second half-life, ½ of the 15 g (7.5 g) will disappear, and 7.5 g will remain.

In symbols,

<em>N</em> = <em>N</em>₀(½)^<em>n</em>

where

<em>n</em> = the number of half-lives

<em>N</em>₀ = the original amount

<em>N</em> = the amount remaining after <em>n</em> half-lives
