<span>Hydration can occur when one mole of sodium acetate trihydrate is heated. Sodium acetate or NaC2H3O2 3H2O contains three water molecules within each unit in the crystal. The corresponding amount of hydration energy is already released when sodium acetate absorbs water and is then converted to sodium acetate trihydrate.</span>
When oxygen and hydrogen combine they form a polar covalent bond
<u>Answer:</u> The time required will be 19.18 years
<u>Explanation:</u>
All the radioactive reactions follows first order kinetics.
The equation used to calculate half life for first order kinetics:
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:
where,
k = rate constant =
t = time taken for decay process = ?
= initial amount of the reactant = 2 g
[A] = amount left after decay process = (2 - 0.5) = 1.5 g
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the time required will be 19.18 years
