Answer:

Half life = 1600 years

Explanation:

Given data:

Total mass of sample = 45.00 g

Mass remain = 5.625 g

Time period = 4800 years

Half life of radium-226 = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of half lives passes,

At time zero 45.00 g

At first half life = 45.00 g/ 2= 22.5 g

At 2nd half life = 22.5 g/ 2 = 11.25 g

At 3rd half life = 11.25 g/ 2= 5.625 g

Half life:

Half life = Time elapsed / number of half lives

Half life = 4800 years / 3

Half life = 1600 years

Let's assume you were given 2.0 g benzil, 2.2 g dibenzyl ketone, 50 mL 95% ethanol and 0.3 g potassium hydroxide to synthesize t
almond37 [142]

Answer:

the % yield is 82%

Explanation:

Given the data in the question,

we know that;

Molar mass of benzil is 210.23 g·mol−1

Molar mass of dibenzyl ketone is 210.27 g·mol−1

Molar mass of tetraphenylcyclopentadienone is 384.5 g·mol−1

Now,

2.0 g benzil = 2 g / 210.23 g·mol−1 = 0.0095 mole

2.2 g dibenzyl ketone = 2.2 / 210.27 = 0.0105 mole

3.0 g of tetraphenylcyclopentadienone = 3 / 384.5  = 0.0078 mole

Now, the limiting reagent is benzil. 0.0095 mole can reacts wiyh 0.0095 mole of dibenzyl ketone

percentage yield = ( 0.0078 mole / 0.0095 mole ) × 100%

= 0.82 × 100%

= 82%

Therefore, the % yield is 82%

A liter of the gas mixture at equilibrium contains 0.0045 mol of N2O4 and 0.030 mol of NO2 at 10C. Write the expression for the
Alona [7]

Answer:

Keq = [NO₂]²/[N₂O₄] = 0.2.

Explanation:

  • For the gas mixture equilibrium:

<em>N₂O₄ ⇄ 2NO₂</em>

The expression of the equilibrium constant (Keq):

Keq = [NO₂]²/[N₂O₄]

<em>∴ Keq = [NO₂]²/[N₂O₄]</em> = (0.03)²/(0.0045) = <em>0.2.</em>
