5 0

Answer:

A radioactive isotope, also known as a radioisotope, radionuclide, or radioactive nuclide, is any of several species of the same chemical element with different masses whose nuclei are unstable and dissipate excess energy by spontaneously emitting radiation in the form of alpha, beta, and gamma rays.

If 27.3% of a sample of silver-112 decays in 1.52 hours, what is the half-life (in hours to 3 decimal places)?
ICE Princess25 [194]

<u>Answer:</u> The half life of the sample of silver-112 is 3.303 hours.

<u>Explanation:</u>

All radioactive decay processes undergoes first order reaction.

To calculate the rate constant for first order reaction, we use the integrated rate law equation for first order, which is:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log \frac{[A_o]}{[A]}

where,

k = rate constant = ?

t = time taken = 1.52 hrs

[A_o] = Initial concentration of reactant = 100 g

[A] = Concentration of reactant left after time 't' = [100 - 27.3] = 72.7 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

k=\frac{2.303}{1.52hrs}\log \frac{100}{72.7}\\\\k= 0.2098hr^{-1}

To calculate the half life period of first order reaction, we use the equation:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

where,

t_{1/2} = half life period of first order reaction = ?

k = rate constant = 0.2098hr^{-1}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{0.2098hr^{-1}}\\\\t_{1/2}=3.303hrs

Hence, the half life of the sample of silver-112 is 3.303 hours.

Xenon (xe) and fluorine (f) can combine to form several different compounds, including xef2, which contains 0.2894 g fluorine fo
oee [108]

Answer is: n (number of fluorine atoms) is 6, formula of the compound is XeF₆.

m(F) = 0.8682 g; mass of fluorine.

n(F) = m(F) ÷ M(F).

n(F) = 0.8682 g ÷ 19 g/mol.

n(F) = 0.0457 mol; amount of substance.

m(Xe) = 1.00 g.

n(Xe) = 1.00 g ÷ 131.293 g/mol.

n(Xe) = 0.00761 mol.

n(Xe) : n(F) = 0.00761 mol : 0.0457 mol.

n(Xe) : n(F) = 1 mol : 6 mol.

If dissolving carbon dioxide in water to form carbonic acid is the forward reaction, what is the reverse reaction that balances
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

H_2CO_3\rightleftharpoons H_2O + CO_2

Explanation:

When carbon dioxide dissolves and reacts with water, the water and the gaseous  $CO_2$   reacts to form a dilute mixture solution of $H_2CO_3$ (carbonic acid ).

The reaction is   H_2O + CO_2\rightleftharpoons H_2CO_3

This is a forward reaction.  And the symbol   $ \rightleftharpoons $  shows that the reaction can be reversible. It means that the reaction can be carried in forward direction as well as in the backward direction.

The reaction attains chemical equilibrium until the reactants and the products no longer changes with time.  

The carbonic acid can also dissociates into carbon dioxide and water in the backward direction.

H_2CO_3\rightleftharpoons H_2O + CO_2

Hydrogen is a possible future fuel. However, elemental hydrogen is rare, so it must be obtained from a hydrogen- containing comp
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

1.1 × 10² g

Explanation:

First, we will convert 1.0 L to cubic centimeters.

1.0 L × (10³ mL/1 L) × (1 cm³/ 1 mL) = 1.0 × 10³ cm³

The density of water is 1.0 g/cm³. The mass corresponding to 1.0 × 10³ cm³ is:

1.0 × 10³ cm³ × (1.0 g/cm³) = 1.0 × 10³ g

1 mole of water (H₂O) has a mass of 18 g, consisting of 2 g of H and 16 g of O. The mass of Hydrogen in 1.0 × 10³ g of water is:

1.0 × 10³ g H₂O × (2 g H/18 g H₂O) = 1.1 × 10² g
