If a 125 gms of radioactive element has a half life of 60 min how many half lives will it go through to become 3.90625 gms

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sonja [21]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  • 5

Explanation:

Let the number of half lives be x

<u>Solve this equation to find the value of x:</u>

  • 125*(1/2)ˣ = 3.90625
  • (0.5)ˣ = 3.90625 / 125
  • (0.5)ˣ = 0.03125
  • log (0.5)ˣ  = log 0.03125
  • x =  log 0.03125 / log 0.5
  • x = 5

How many moles of PC15 can be produced from 58.0 g of Cl₂ (and excess<br> P4)?
ludmilkaskok [199]

0.3268 moles of PC15 can be produced from 58.0 g of Cl₂ (and excess

P4)

<h3>How to calculate moles?</h3>

The balanced chemical equation is

P_{4}  + 10Cl_{2}  = 4PCl_{5}

The mass of clorine is m(Cl_{2}) = 58.0 g

The amount of clorine is n(Cl_{2}) = m(Cl_{2})/M(Cl_{2}) = 58/70.906 = 0.817 mol

The stoichiometric reaction,shows that

10 moles of Cl_{2} yield 4 moles of PCl_{5};

0.817 of Cl_{2} yield x moles of PCl_{5}

n(PCl_{5}) = 4*0.817/10 = 0.3268 mol

Among the following options, a valid Lewis structure of __________ cannot be drawn without violating the octet rule.
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

d. IF3

Explanation:

The Octet rule posits that atoms gain, atom lose, or share electrons in order to have a full valence shell of 8 electrons. This statement occurs when atoms also combine to form molecules until they attain or share eight valence electrons either by losing or gaining eletrons.

From the given options, a valid Lewis structure that cannot be drawn without violating the octet rule is IF3
