Answer:

116 years

Explanation:

To solve this, we will use the half life equation;

A(t) = A_o(½)^(t/t_½)

Where;

A(t) is the amount of strontium left after t years;

A_o is the initial quantity of strontium that will undergo decay;

t_½ is the half-life of strontium

t is the time it will take to decay

We are given;

A(t) = 7.5 g

A_o = 120 g

From online values, half life of strontium-90 is 29 years. Thus, t_½ = 29

Thus;

7.5 = 120 × ½^(t/29)

Divide both sides by 120 to get;

7.5/120 = ½^(t/29)

0.0625 = ½^(t/29)

In 0.0625 = (t/29) In ½

-2.772589 = (t/29) × (-0.693147)

(t/29) = -2.772589/(-0.693147)

t/29 = 4

t = 29 × 4

t = 116 years

Ammonia is prepared industrially by the reaction:
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The correct option is d.

Explanation:

The reaction in the question is that for the formation of ammonia. The arrow in the reaction should be a reversible arrow. Because of the negative ΔH value, the forward reaction is exothermic while the reverse reaction is endothermic.

An increase in temperature of a system at equilibrium favors the endothermic reaction, hence the reverse reaction (the reactants) is favored. And when the reverse reaction is favored, more reactants are produced. Hence, product formation (at equilibrium) is not favored as the temperature is raised.
