Phosphorus-32 has a half life of 14.3 days. How many days will it take for a

Chemistry

3 0

It will take 42.9 days

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{T/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

T = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

t1/2=14.3 days

Nt/No=1/8

\tt Nt=No(\dfrac{1}{2})^{T/t1/2}\\\\\dfrac{Nt}{No}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/t1/2}\\\\\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/t1/2}\\\\(\dfrac{1}{2})^3=\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/t1/2}\\\\3=T/14.3\rightarrow T=42.9~days

Part A:
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Part A = The mass of sulfur is 6.228 grams

Part B = The mass of 1 silver atom is 1.79 * 10^-22 grams

Explanation:

Part A

Step 1: Data given

A mixture of carbon and sulfur has a mass of 9.0 g

Mass of the product = 27.1 grams

X = mass carbon

Y = mass sulfur

x + y = 9.0  grams

x = 9.0 - y

x(molar mass CO2/atomic mass C) + y(molar mass SO2/atomic mass S) = 22.6

(9 - y)*(44.01/12.01) + y(64.07/32.07)

(9-y)(3.664) + y(1.998)

32.976 - 3.664y + 1.998y = 22.6

-1.666y = -10.376

y = 6.228 = mass sulfur

x = 9.0 - 6.228 = 2.772 grams = mass C

The mass of sulfur is 6.228 grams

Part B

Calculate the mass, in grams, of a single silver atom (mAg = 107.87 amu ).

Calculate moles of 1 silver atom

Moles = 1/ 6.022*10^23

Moles = 1.66*10^-24 moles

Mass = moles * molar mass

Mass = 1.66*10 ^-24 moles *107.87

Mass = 1.79 * 10^-22 grams

The mass of 1 silver atom is 1.79 * 10^-22 grams

How many grams are in 3.14 x 1015 molecules of CO?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Not Many

1 mol of CO has a mass of

C = 12

O = 16

1 mol = 28 grams.

1 mol of molecules = 6.02 * 10^23

x mol of molecules = 3.14 * 10^15        Cross multiply

6.02*10^23 x = 1 * 3.14 * 10^15             Divide by 6.02*10^23

x = 3.14*10^15 / 6.02*10^23

x = 0.000000005 mols

x = 5*10^-9

1 mol of CO has a mass of 28

5*10^-9 mol of CO has a mass of x                        Cross Multiply

x = 5 * 10^-9 * 28

x = 1.46 * 10^-7 grams

Answer: there are 1.46 * 10-7 grams of CO if only 3.14 * 10^15 molecules are in the sample
