Fluorine-21 has a half life of approximately 12 seconds. What fraction of the original nuclei would remain after 1 minute?

Chemistry
1 answer:
wlad13 [49]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The correct answer would be = 1/32.

Explanation:

The half-life is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of the initial value of an object or element.

it is given that Fluorine-21 has a half-life time = 12 seconds

then in a minute the number of half-lives,

12 seconds = 12/60 of a minute or 1/5 of a minute

This means in 1 minute we will half the sample 5 times.

(1/2)^5 = 1/32 is the fractional remainder

Thus, the correct answer would be 1/32.

Assume that acid rain has lowered the ph of a particular lake to ph 5.0. what is the hydroxide ion concentration of this lake?
Ray Of Light [21]

That acid rain has lowered the ph of a particular lake to ph 5.0. the hydroxide ion concentration of this lake is

1 × 10^-9 mol of hydroxide ions per liter of lake water

 pH  +  pOH  =  14

 pOH  =  14  - 5

 pOH  =  9.00

 pOH  =  -log [OH⁻]

[OH⁻]  =  10^-pOH

[OH⁻]  = 10^{-9} mol

Therefore,

the hydroxide ion concentration of this lake is 1 × 10^-9 mol

Given, mass of isotope 1 = 39.06 amu

% abundance of isotope 1 = 10.00%

mass of isotope 2 =  42.14 amu

% abundance of isotope 2 = 90.00%

Average atomic mass

= [ (mass of isotope 1  x % abundance of isotope 1 ) + (mass of isotope 2 x % abundance of isotope 2 ) ]/ 100

= [(39.06 x 10) + (42.14 x 90)]/100

= (390.6 + 3792.6) / 100

= 4183.2/100

= 41.8 (to the nearest tenth)

Therefore, the weighted atomic mass of element Q is 41.8 amu.

The equilibrium constant for the following equation:
Mkey [24]

From the calculation, the partial pressure of Cl2 is 1.98 atm. Option B

<h3>What is the equilibrium constant?</h3>

The term equilibrium constant refers to the value that shows us the extent to which reactants are converted into products. We know that the equilibrium constant can only be obtained by the use of the equilibrium partial pressures of each of the species.

Thus we have;

K = p PCl3 . pCl2/pPCl5

p PCl3 = partial pressure of PCl3

pCl2 = partial pressure of Cl2

pPCl5 = partial pressure of PCl5

K = equilibrium constant

Substituting values;

1.05 =  0.463 *  pCl2/0.875

 pCl2 = 1.05  * 0.875/0.463

pCl2 = 1.98 atm
