Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

From;

0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log (Ao/A)

Where;

t1/2 = half life of the sodium-24

t = time taken

Ao = initial activity of sodium-24

A= activity of sodium-24 at time t

a)

0.693/15 = 2.303/15 log (14/A)

0.0462 = 0.1535 log (14/A)

0.0462/0.1535 =  log (14/A)

log (14/A) = 0.0462/0.1535

14/A = Antilog(0.3)

14/A= 1.995

A = 14/1.995

A = 7.0 mCi

b)

0.693/15 = 2.303/30 log (14/A)

0.0462 =0.0768 log(14/A)

0.0462/0.0768 =log (14/A)

(14/A) =Antilog (0.6)

A = 14/Antilog (0.6)

A = 3.5 mCi

c)

0.693/15 = 2.303/45 log (14/A)

0.0462= 0.0512 log (14/A)

log (14/A) = 0.0462/0.0512

log (14/A) = 0.9

(14/A) = Antilog (0.9)

A= 14/Antilog (0.9)

A = 14/7.9

A = 1.77  mCi

d)

2.5 days = 2.5 * 24 hours = 60 hours

0.693/15 = 2.303/60 log (14/A)

0.0462 = 0.03838 log (14/A)

log (14/A) = 0.0462/0.03838

(14/A) = Antilog(1.2)

A= 14/Antilog(1.2)

A = 14/15.8

A = 0.886 mCi

Note that activity (A) decreases as time increases.

What happens to the ph of the reaction mixture as the oxidation reaction proceeds in an oxidation of an aromatic side chain?
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The pH decreases.

Explanation:

Hello,

In organic chemistry, oxidation accounts for either the increasing of C-O bonds or the increasing in the oxygen atoms into the molecule. Thus, if we consider the oxidation from benzyl alcohol to benzoic acid, there will be a carboxyl functional group instead of a hydroxile one. Now, the presence of the polar -O-H bonds that are ionizable, there will be a H^{+1} releasing causing the pH to decrease (increase acidity).

Regards.

Which statement best describes an igneous intrusion? 
Andrew [12]
D. Magma is injected into surrounding rock forming an igneous intrusion.

Igneous intrusion forms when magma from under the surface of the earth is slowly pushed up to occupy spaces or cracks found among rocks and cools down and solidifies before it reaches the surface of the earth.
