How long will it take for a 40.0 gram sample of I-131 (half-life = 8.4 days) to decay to 1/16 its original mass?

Chemistry

Answer:

42 days

Explanation:

Half life = 8.4 days

Starting mass = 40.0 g

Time = ?

Final Mass = 1/16 * 40 = 2.5 g

First Half life;

Remaining mass = 40 / 2 = 20g

Second Half life;

Remaining mass = 20 / 2 = 10g

Third Half life;

Remaining mass = 10 / 2 = 5g

Fourth Half life;

Remaining mass = 5 / 2 = 2.5g

Time = Number of half lives * Duration of half life = 5 * 8.4 = 42 days

Complete the sentences to explain what’s happening at different portions of the heating curve.
Neporo4naja [7]

Particles of the substance have the most kinetic energy when the substance is(a)1. A gas. The part of the graph that represents where the substance has the least amount of potential energy is labeled(b)1. Solid.

Gas molecules have the highest average velocities among the three states of matter so gas has the highest kinetic energy. During freezing, a substance loses a lot of potential energy so solid has the least potential energy.

What mass of ammonia can be produced if 13.4 grams of nitrogen gas reacted ?
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

If 13.4 grams of nitrogen gas reacts we'll produce 16.3 grams of ammonia

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of nitrogen gas (N2) = 13.4 grams

Molar mass of N2 = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of NH3 = 17.03 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3

Step 3: Calculate moles of N2

Moles N2 = Mass N2 / molar mass N2

Moles N2 = 13.4 grams / 28.00 g/mol

Moles N2 = 0.479 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of NH3

For 1 mol N2 we need 3 moles H2 to produce 2 moles NH3

For 0.479 moles N2 we'll produce 2*0.479 = 0.958 moles

Step 5: Calculate mass of NH3

Mass of NH3 = moles NH3 * molar mass NH3

Mass NH3 = 0.958 moles * 17.03 g/mol

Mass NH3 = 16.3 grams

If 13.4 grams of nitrogen gas reacts we'll produce 16.3 grams of ammonia

At one point in the Bike Trip described in the passage, you traveled 1 kilometer in 0.1 hours. What was your speed during that t
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

v = 10 km/h

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Distance traveled in the Bike Trip (d): 1 km
  • Time elapsed in the Bike Trip (t): 0.1 h

Step 2: Calculate the speed in the Bike Trip

The speed (v) is equal to the distance traveled divided by the time elapsed. We will use the following mathematical expression.

v = d/t

v = 1 km/0.1 h

v = 10 km/h

The speed is 10 kilometers per hour.
