Answer:

6.88 mg

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the mass of ³²P in 175 mg of Na₃³²PO₄

The mass ratio of Na₃³²PO₄ to ³²P is 148.91:31.97.

175 mg g Na₃³²PO₄ × 31.97 g ³²P/148.91 g Na₃³²PO₄ = 37.6 mg ³²P

Step 2: Calculate the rate constant for the decay of ³²P

The half-life (t1/2) is 14.3 days. We can calculate k using the following expression.

k = ln2/ t1/2 = ln2 / 14.3 d = 0.0485 d⁻¹

Step 3: Calculate the amount of P, given the initial amount (P₀) is 37.6 mg and the time elapsed (t) is 35.0 days

For first-order kinetics, we will use the following expression.

ln P = ln P₀ - k × t

ln P = ln 37.6 mg - 0.0485 d⁻¹ × 35.0 d

P = 6.88 mg

How many calories is required to change the temperature of 2.18g of water from 15.3°C to 69.5°C. The specific heat of liquid wat
lozanna [386]

The number  of calories that are  required  to change the temperature  of 2.18 g of water from 15.3 c to 69.5 c is  <u>118.16 cal</u>


    <u><em> calculation</em></u>

  •    Heat in calories  = MCΔ T where,
  • M(mass)= 2.18 g
  • C(specific heat capacity)= 1.00 cal/g/c
  • ΔT( change in temperature)= 69.5- 15.3 =54.2 c

 heat is therefore= 2.18 g x 1.00 cal/g/c  x 54.2 c=118.16  cal

A buffered solution has a pH of 7.5. What would happen to the pH if a small
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Dear user,

Answer to your query is provided below

When small amount of acid was added to buffered solution, pH will change very less.

Explanation:

Buffer solution resists change in ph on adding small amount of acid or base but when we calculate the value of buffer capacity we take the change in ph when we add acid or base to 1 lit solution of buffer.This contradicts the definition of buffer solution.

An aqueous solution in a 55 gallon (208 l drum), characterized by minimal buffering capacity, received 4kg of phenol and 1.5 kg
lianna [129]

An aqueous solution in a 55 gallon (208 l drum), characterized by minimal buffering capacity, received 4kg of phenol and 1.5 kg of sodium phenate. What is the ph of the solution. The pka of phenol = 9.98. Mw of phenol and sodium phenate are 94 g/mol and 116 g/mol, respectively.


Volume of solution = 55 gallons = 208.2 L [ 1 gallon = 3.78 L]

moles of phenol = mass / molar mass = 4000 g / 94 = 42.55 moles

moles of sodium phenate = mass / molar mass = 1500 / 116 = 12.93 moles

pKa of phenol = 9.98

We know that the pH of buffer is calculated using Hendersen Hassalbalch's equation

pH = pKa + log [salt] / [acid]

volume is same for both the sodium phenate and phenol has we can directly take the moles of each in the formula

pH = 9.98 + log [12.93 / 42.55] = 9.46
