Answer: 375 g

Explanation:

Formula used :

a=\frac{a_o}{2^n}

where,

a = amount of reactant left after n-half lives = ?

a_o = Initial amount of the reactant = 100 g

n = number of half lives = 4

Putting values in above equation, we get:

a=\frac{6000}{2^4}

a=375g

Therefore, the amount of carbon-14 remains at the end of four half-lives is 375 g

The answer is iii) decreasing the pressure of the system. When the pressure is decreased, the equilibrium will shift to the right because it has 12 moles of gas which is greater than the number of moles of gas on the left side, which is 6 moles. Equilibrium shifting to the side that exerts greater pressure is favored to offset the decrease in pressure.

A student dissolved 1.805g of a monoacidic weak base in 55mL of water. Calculate the equilibrium pH for the weak monoacidic base
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

11.39

Explanation:

Given that:

pK_{b}=4.82

K_{b}=10^{-4.82}=1.5136\times 10^{-5}

Given that:

Mass = 1.805 g

Molar mass = 82.0343 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{1.805\ g}{82.0343\ g/mol}

Moles= 0.022\ moles

Given Volume = 55 mL = 0.055 L ( 1 mL = 0.001 L)

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Molarity=\frac{0.022}{0.055}

Concentration = 0.4 M

Consider the ICE take for the dissociation of the base as:

                                  B +   H₂O    ⇄     BH⁺ +        OH⁻

At t=0                        0.4                          -              -

At t =equilibrium     (0.4-x)                        x           x            

The expression for dissociation constant is:

K_{b}=\frac {\left [ BH^{+} \right ]\left [ {OH}^- \right ]}{[B]}

1.5136\times 10^{-5}=\frac {x^2}{0.4-x}

x is very small, so (0.4 - x) ≅ 0.4

Solving for x, we get:

x = 2.4606×10⁻³  M

pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(2.4606×10⁻³) = 2.61

<u>pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 2.61 = 11.39</u>

EastWind [94]

Answer:

0.35714 Metric ton

Explanation:

350 / 0.98 = 357.1 ----------A

to get the answer on metric ton divide (a) by 1000

357.14/1000= 0.357

The reaction is proceeding at a rate of 0.0080 Ms-1 in 50.0 mL of solution in a system with unknown concentrations of A and B. W
Leokris [45]

Answer:

0.0010 mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹  

Explanation:

Assume the rate law is  

rate = k[A][B]²

If you are comparing two rates,

\dfrac{\text{rate}_{2}}{\text{rate}_{1}} = \dfrac{k_{2}\text{[A]}_2[\text{B]}_{2}^{2}}{k_{1}\text{[A]}_1[\text{B]}_{1}^{2}}= \left (\dfrac{\text{[A]}_{2}}{\text{[A]}_{1}}\right ) \left (\dfrac{\text{[B]}_{2}}{\text{[B]}_{1}}\right )^{2}

You are cutting each concentration in half, so

\dfrac{\text{[A]}_{2}}{\text{[A]}_{1}} = \dfrac{1}{2}\text{ and }\dfrac{\text{[B]}_{2}}{\text{[B]}_{1}}= \dfrac{1}{2}

Then,

\dfrac{\text{rate}_{2}}{\text{rate}_{1}} = \left (\dfrac{1}{2}\right ) \left (\dfrac{1}{2}\right )^{2} = \dfrac{1}{2}\times\dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\text{rate}_{2} = \dfrac{1}{8}\times \text{rate}_{1}= \dfrac{1}{8}\times \text{0.0080 mol$\cdot$L$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$} = \textbf{0.0010 mol$\cdot$L$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$}\\\\\text{The new rate is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.0010 mol$\cdot$L$^\mathbf{{-1}}$s$^{\mathbf{-1}}$}}$}

Describe how experimental evidence led each of the following scientists: Dalton, Rutherford, Thompson, Chadwick and Bohr, to dev
nasty-shy [4]
Dalton Found out there was a small, hard indestructible sphere that is the smalles part of an element.He created his own Atomic Theory:
-All Matter is made up of small particles called atoms.
-Atoms cannot be created, destroyed, or divided into smaller particles.
-All atoms of the same element are identical in mass and size. The atoms of one element are different in mass and size from the atoms of other elements.
<span>-Compounds are created when atoms of different elements link together in definite proportions.
</span><span>Rutherford had found the positively charged nucleus in the middle of every atom using his Gold Foil Experiment. While doing this experiment, he expected these particles to just pass right through the foil but they bounced right back. He also proposed there were negatively charged electrons revolving around the nucleus.
</span><span>Thompson found negative electrons and inferred atoms also contain negative particles. He inferred there was a lump of positively charged material, with negative electrons throughout. He used the Raisins Bun Model to explain. 
</span>Chadwick <span>proved that it consisted of a neutral particle with about the same mass as a proton "Neutron"  is the name given to the particle</span>
Bohr 
believed Rutherford's prediction was correct, but it wasn't complete. Bohr proposed electrons could only move between energy levels, rather then being able to move everywhere.
