Pavlova-9 [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

97200yrs,

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Half-life of Plutonium - 239  = 24300yrs

Mass of the isotope  = 8kg

Unknown:

Number of years it will take for the amount to reduce to 1kg = ?

Solution:

The half -life of any substance is the time taken for half of the compound to decay to half its original composition.

             <em>  Start     first half life     second half life   third half life</em>

mass       8kg              4kg                   2kg                    1kg

Time         0yrs            24300            48600               97200

By 97200yrs, the mass would have been 1kg

How many grams of Chromium(III) nitrate are produced when Chromium reacts with 0.85 moles of Lead(IV) nitrate to produce chromiu
mina [271]

Grams of Chromium(III) nitrate produced : 268.95 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

0.85 moles of Lead(IV) nitrate

Required

grams of Chromium(III) nitrate

Solution

Reaction

Balanced equation :

<em>2Cr₂ + 3Pb(NO₃)₄ ⇒ 4Cr(NO₃)₃ + 3Pb </em>

From the equation, mol ratio of Pb(NO₃)₄  : Cr(NO₃)₃ = 3 : 4, so mol Cr(NO₃)₃

mol Cr(NO₃)₃ =

\tt \dfrac{4}{3}\times 0.85=1.13

Mass of Chromium(III) nitrate (MW=238.0108 g/mol) :

mass = mol x MW

mass = 1.13 x 238.0108

mass = 268.95 g

List a possible set of four quantum numbers (n,l,ml,ms) in order, for the highest energy electron in gallium?
Elena-2011 [213]
Gallum: Z = 31

electron configuration: [Ar] 4s^2 3d10 4s2 4p1

Highest energy electron: 4p1

Quantum numbers:

n = 4, because it is the shell number
l = 1, it corresponds to type p orbital 
ml = may be -1, or 0, or +1, depending on space orientation, they correspond to px, py, pz
ms = may be -1/2 or +1/2, this is the spin number.
