<h3>Answer:</h3>

22.06 Hours

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Half life is the time it takes for a radioactive material or isotope to decay by half of its initial amount.

We are given;

Radioactive isotope Iodine-133

Initial counts per minute = 3150 counts

Counts after decay = 3055 per minute

Time taken = 1 hour

But, we know that to calculate the remaining amount of the radioactive isotope, then,

Remaining amount = Initial amount × 0.5^n , where n is the number of half-lives.

Therefore;

3055 counts = 3150 × 0.5^n

0.5^n = 0.9698

To get n

n = log 1 ÷ log 0.9698

 = 0.044

But, n is given by dividing time and the number of half lifes

Therefore, half life = time ÷ Number of half lives

                              = 1 hour ÷ 0.044

                              = 22.60 hours

Therefore, the half life of iodine-133 is 22.60 hours

How many moles of calcium chloride would react with 5. 99 moles of aluminum oxide?
slega [8]

There are 17.97 moles of calcium chloride would react with 5. 99 moles of aluminum oxide .

The balanced chemical equation between  reaction between calcium chloride and aluminum oxide is given as,

3CaCl_{2} (aq)+Al_{2} O_{3} (s) → 3CaO_{2} (s)+2Al Cl_{3} (aq)

The molar ratio of above reaction is  3:1

It means 3 moles of calcium chloride is require to react one mole of aluminum oxide.

The number of moles of calcium chloride requires to react with  5. 99 moles of  aluminum oxide  = 3 × 5. 99 = 17.97 moles

The equation in which number of atoms of elements in reactant side is equal to the number of atoms of elements in product side is called balanced chemical equation .

Arrange the following elements from greatest to least tendency to accept an electron.? Rank from greatest to least tendency to a
shtirl [24]
Your answer is correct, I do not understand why it would be wrong.
The electron accepting tendency of an atom is known as the tendency of an atom to accept an electron. This is ranked on a scale of 0.7 to 3.98 and these species have the following values:
F: 3.98
O: 3.44
C: 2.55
Be: 1.57
Li: 0.98

Ammonia NH3 may react with oxygen to form nitrogen gas and water.4NH3 (aq) + 3O2 (g) \rightarrow 2 N2 (g) + 6H2O (l)If 2.15g of
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

NH3 is the limiting reactant

The % yield is 36.1 %

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Mass of NH3 = 2.15 grams

Mass of O2 = 3.23 grams

Molar mass of NH3 = 17.03 g/mol

Molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol

volume of N2 produced = 0.550 L

Temperature = 295 K

Pressure = 1.00 atm

<u>Step 2:</u> The balanced equation:

4NH3 (aq) + 3O2 (g) → 2 N2 (g) + 6H2O (l)

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate moles of NH3

Moles NH3 = Mass NH3 / Molar Mass NH3

Moles NH3 = 2.15 grams / 17.03 g/mol

Moles NH3 = 0.126 moles

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate moles of O2

Moles O2 = 3.23 grams / 32 g/mol

Moles O2 = 0.101 moles

<u>Step 5: </u>Calculate the limiting reactant

For 4 moles NH3 consumed, we need 3 moles of O2 to produce, 2 moles of N2 and 6 moles of H2O

NH3 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed ( 0.126 moles).

O2 is in excess, there will be 3/4 * 0.126 = 0.0945 moles consumed

There will remain 0.101 - 0.945 = 0.0065 moles of O2

<u>Step 6:</u> Calculate moles of N2

For 4 moles NH3 consumed, we need 3 moles of O2 to produce, 2 moles of N2 and 6 moles of H2O

For 4 moles NH3 , we'll have 2 moles of N2 produced

For 0.126 moles NH3 consumed, we'll have 0.063 moles of N2 produced.

<u>Step 7</u>: Calculate volume of N2 produced

p*V = n*R*T

⇒ with p = the pressure of the gas = 1.00 atm

⇒ with V = the volume = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with n = the number of moles N2 = 0.063 moles

⇒ with R = the gasconstant = 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol

⇒ with T = the temperature = 295

V = (nRT)/p

V = (0.063*0.08206*295)/1

V = 1.525 L = theoretical yield

<u>Step 8:</u> Calculate the % yield

% yield = actual yield / theoretical yield

% yield = (0.550 L / 1.525 L)*100%

% yield = 36.1 %
