Answer:

13.5 years

Explanation:

Initial Concentration [Ao] = 10g

Final Concentration [A] = 0.768g

Time t= 50 years

Half life t1/2 = ?

These quantities are related by the following equations;

ln[A] = ln[Ao] - kt ......(i)

t1/2 = ln(2) / k ...........(ii)

where k = rate constant

Inserting the values in eqn (i) and solving for k, we have;

ln(0.768) = ln(10) - k (50)

-0.2640 = 2.3026 - 50k

50k = 2.3026 + 0.2640

k = 2.5666 / 50 = 0.051332

Insert the value of k in eqn (ii);

t1/2 = ln(2) / k

t1/2 = 0.693 / 0.051332 = 13.5 years

If 156 grams of chromium react with an excess of oxygen, as shown in the balanced chemical equation below, how many grams of chr
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

=759.95 grams.

Explanation:

The molar mass of chromium is 51.9961 g/mol

Therefore the number of moles of chromium in 156 grams is:

Number of moles =mass/RAM

=156g/51.9961g/mol

=3 moles.

From the equation provided, 3 moles of chromium metal produce 2 moles of Chromium oxide.

Therefore 3 moles of chromium produce:

(3×2)/4 moles =1.5 moles of chromium oxide.

I mole of chromium oxide has a mass of 151.99 g

Thus 1.5 moles= 1.5mole ×151.99 g/mol

=759.95 grams.

calculate the water potential of a solution of 0.15m sucrose. the solution is at standard temperature.
Mrac [35]

Answer:

The water potential of a solution of 0.15 M sucrose solution is -3.406 bar.

Explanation:

Water potential = Pressure potential + solute potential

P_w=P_p+P_s

P_w=P_p+(-iCRT)

We have :

C = 0.15 M, T = 273.15 K

i = 1

The water potential of a solution of 0.15 m sucrose= P_w

P_p=0 bar (At standard temperature)

P_s=-iCRT=-\times 1\times 8.314\times 10^{-2}bar L/mol K\times 273.15 K=-3.406 bar

P_w=0 bar+(-3.406 ) bar

The water potential of a solution of 0.15 M sucrose solution is -3.406 bar.
