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

Why does Hess's law allow you to determine the enthalpy change of a<br> reaction?
lana [24]

Enthalpy is a state function

Explanation:

The Hess's law allows us to determine the enthalpy change of a reaction because enthalpy is a state function. It does not depend on the individual path take in going from reactants to products in the reaction.

  • Enthalpy changes are the heat changes accompanying physical and chemical changes.
  • It is the difference between the heat content of product in the final state and the reactants.
  • Enthalpy changes for some reactions are not easily measurable experimentally.
  • To calculate such heat changes, we apply the Hess's law of heat summation.
  • The law states that "the heat change of a reaction is the same whether it occurs in a step or several steps".
  • The Hess's law is simply based on the first law of thermodynamics by which we know that energy is conserved in every system.
