How does the Sun get energy?

2 answers:

8 0

The sun generates energy from a process called nuclear fusion. During nuclear fusion, the high pressure and temperature in the sun's core cause nuclei to separate from their electrons. Hydrogen nuclei fuse to form one helium atom.

What volumes of 0.200 M HCOOH and 2.00 M NaOH would make 500. mL of a buffer with the same pH as a buffer made from 475 mL of 0.

Hitman42 [59]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

[HCOOH] = 0.2 M, [NaOH] = 2.0 M,

V = 500 ml, [Benzoic acid] = 0.2 M

First, we will calculate the number of moles of benzoic acid as follows.

No. of moles of benzoic acid = Molarity × Volume

= $2 \times 0.475$

= 0.095 mol

And, moles of NaOH present in the solution will be as follows.

No. of moles of NaOH = Molarity × Volume

= $2 \times 0.025$

= 0.05 mol

Hence, the ICE table for the chemical equation will be as follows.

$C_{6}H_{5}COOH + NaOH \rightarrow C_{6}H_{5}COONa + H_{2}O$

Initial: 0.095 0.05 0 0

Equlbm: (0.095 - 0.05) 0 0.05

pH = $pK_{a} + log \frac{Base}{Acid}$

= $4.2 + log \frac{0.05}{0.045}$

= 4.245

For,

$HCOOH + NaOH \rightarrow HCOONa + H_{2}O$

Initial: 0.2x 2(0.5 - x) 0

Equlbm: 0.2x - 2(0.5 - x) 0 2(0.5 - x)

As,

pH = $pK_{a} + log \frac{Base}{Acid}$

4.245 = 3.75 + $log \frac{Base}{Acid}$

$log \frac{Base}{Acid}$ = 0.5

$\frac{Base}{Acid}$ = 3.162

Now,

$\frac{2(0.5 - x)}{0.2x - 2(0.5 - x)}$ = 3.162

x = 0.464 L

Volume of NaOH = (0.5 - 0.464) L

= 0.036 L

= 36 ml (as 1 L = 1000 mL)

And, volume of formic acid is 464 mL.

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the amount of time it takes for a quantity of that isotope to decay to one half of its

Sedaia [141]

Radio active decay reactions follow first order rate kinetics.

a) The half life and decay constant for radio active decay reactions are related by the equation:

$t_{\frac{1}{2}} =$ $\frac{ln 2}{k}$

$t_{\frac{1}{2}} = \frac{0.693}{k}$

Where k is the decay constant

b) Finding out the decay constant for the decay of C-14 isotope:

$Decay constant (k) = \frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}$

$k = \frac{0.693}{5230 years}$

$k = 1.325 * 10^{-4} yr^{-1}$

c) Finding the age of the sample :

35 % of the radiocarbon is present currently.

The first order rate equation is,

$[A] = [A_{0}]e^{-kt}$

$\frac{[A]}{[A_{0}]} = e^{-kt}$

$\frac{35}{100} = e^{-(1.325 *10^{-4})t}$

$ln(0.35) = -(1.325 *10^{-4})(t)$

t = 7923 years

Therefore, age of the sample is 7923 years.
