Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half its original mass.
The original mass is 200 g
Time taken is 60 hours
Final mass is 25 g
Therefore;
Final mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n; where n is the number of half lives.
25 = 200 (1/2)^n
1/8 = (1/2)^n
n = 3
Three half lives = 60 hours
1 half lives = 20 hours
Therefore; the half life of the radioactive nucleus is 20 hours
Answer:
pH = 13.09
Explanation:
Zn(OH)2 --> Zn+2 + 2OH- Ksp = 3X10^-15
Zn+2 + 4OH- --> Zn(OH)4-2 Kf = 2X10^15
K = Ksp X Kf
= 3*2*10^-15 * 10^15
= 6
Concentration of OH⁻ = 2[Ba(OH)₂] = 2 * 0.15 = 3 M
Zn(OH)₂ + 2OH⁻(aq) --> Zn(OH)₄²⁻(aq)
Initial: 0 0.3 0
Change: -2x +x
Equilibrium: 0.3 - 2x x
K = Zn(OH)₄²⁻/[OH⁻]²
6 = x/(0.3 - 2x)²
6 = x/(0.3 -2x)(0.3 -2x)
6(0.09 -1.2x + 4x²) = x
0.54 - 7.2x + 24x² = x
24x² - 8.2x + 0.54 = 0
Upon solving as quadratic equation, we obtain;
x = 0.089
Therefore,
Concentration of (OH⁻) = 0.3 - 2x
= 0.3 -(2*0.089)
= 0.122
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
= -log 0.122
= 0.91
pH = 14-0.91
= 13.09
Answer:
The independent variable is the condition that you change in an experiment. It is the variable you control.
Explanation:
It is called independent because its value does not depend on and is not affected by the state of any other variable in the experiment. Sometimes you may hear this variable called the "controlled variable" because it is the one that is changed.
Answer: The closeness, arrangement and motion of the particles in a substance change when it changes state. Materials are a store of internal energy , due to the motion of particles and the chemical bonds between them. When a substance is heated, its internal energy increases: the movement of its particles increases.
Explanation:
Molar mass of oxygen gas:
O₂ = 16 * 2 = 32.0 g/mol
1 mole O₂ -------------- 32.0
9.05 mole O₂ ---------- ?
Mass = 9.05 * 32.0
Mass = 289.6 g of O₂
hope this helps!
