Answer:

Half-life = 3 minutes

Explanation:

Using the radioactive decay equation we can solve for reaction constant, k. And by using:

K = ln2 / Half-life

We can find half-life of polonium-218

Radioactive decay:

Ln[A] = -kt + ln [A]₀

Where:

[A] could be taken as mass of polonium after t time: 1.0mg

k is Reaction constant, our incognite

t are 12 min

[A]₀ initial amount of polonium-218: 16mg

Ln[A] = -kt + ln [A]₀

Ln[1.0mg] = -k*12min + ln [16mg]

-2.7726 = - k*12min

k = 0.231min⁻¹

Half-life = ln 2 / 0.231min⁻¹

<h3>Half-life = 3 minutes</h3>

Under what conditions of temperature and pressure is a gas least soluble in water
snow_tiger [21]

The conditions of temperature and pressure in which a gas least soluble in water is low pressure and high temperature.

<h3>What is Henry Law?</h3>

The amount of dissolved gas in a liquid is proportional to its partial pressure above the liquid, according to Henry's law.

From this law it is clear that:

  • As the pressure of the gas increases solubility of the gas on the liquid also increases.

But if the temperature of the liquid decreases then the solubility of the gas also increases.

Hence at low pressure and high temperature, gas is least soluble.

Answer:

Explanation:

% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) X 100

For this question,

% yield = (150g/ 162 g) X 100 = 92.6%
