Which process is happening in the reaction that is shown

One of the radioactive isotopes used in medical treatment or analysis is chromium-51. The half-life of chromium-51 is 28 days. H

Goryan [66]

Answer : The time required for decay is, 84 days.

Explanation :

Half-life of chromium-51 = 28 days

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

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

$k=\frac{0.693}{28\text{ days}}$

$k=0.0248\text{ days}^{-1}$

Now we have to calculate the time required for decay.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant

t = time taken by sample = ?

a = let initial activity of the sample = 100

a - x = amount left after decay process = 12.5

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

$t=\frac{2.303}{0.0248}\log\frac{100}{12.5}$

$t=83.9\text{ days}\approx 84\text{ days}$

Therefore, the time required for decay is, 84 days.

how many milliliters of 1.50 m hno3 contain enough nitric acid to dissolve an old copper penny with a mass of 3.94 g?

Lerok [7]

Molar mass HNO₃ = 63.0 g/mol

number of moles = 3.94 / 63.0 => 0.0625 moles

Volume = moles / molarity

V = 0.0625 / 1.50

V = 0.04166 L x 1000 = 41.66 mL

hope this helps!

When charging an object by conduction, what happens to the charges in the<br> object?

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

During charging by conduction, both objects acquire the same type of charge. If a negative object is used to charge a neutral object, then both objects become charged negatively. In order for the neutral sphere to become negative, it must gain electrons from the negatively charged rod. 3.

A mixture containing 20 mole % butane, 35 mole % pentane and rest

notka56 [123]

Answer:

2.5 % butane, 42.2 % pentane and 55.3 % hexane

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the mass balance for each substance is given by:

$Butane:z_bF=y_bD+x_bB\\\\Pentane: z_pF=y_pD+x_pB\\\\Hexane: z_hF=y_hD+x_hB$

Whereas $y$ accounts for the fractions at the outlet distillate and $x$ for the fractions at the outlet bottoms. Moreover, with the 90 % recovery of butane, we can write:

$0.9=\frac{y_bD}{z_bF}$

So we can compute the product of the molar fraction of butane at the distillate by total distillate flow by assuming a 100-mol feed:

$y_bD=0.9*z_bF=0.9*0.2*100mol=18mol$

The total distillate flow:

$y_bD=18mol\\\\D=\frac{18mol}{0.95} =18.95mol$

And the total bottoms flow:

$F=D+B\\\\B=F-D=100mol-18.95mol=81.05mol$

Next, by using the mass balance of butane, we compute the molar fraction of butane at the bottoms:

$x_b=\frac{z_bF-y_bD}{B} =\frac{0.2*100mol-18mol}{81.05} =0.025$

Then, the molar fraction of pentane and hexane:

$x_p=\frac{z_pF-y_pD}{B} =\frac{0.35*100mol-0.04*18.95mol}{81.05} =0.422$

$x_h=\frac{z_hF-y_hD}{B} =\frac{(1-0.2-0.35)*100mol-(1-0.95-0.04)*18.95mol}{81.05} =0.553$

Therefore, the molar composition of the bottom product is 2.5 % butane, 42.2 % pentane and 55.3 % hexane.

NOTE: notice the result is independent of the value of the assumed feed, it means that no matter the basis, the compositions will be the same for the same recovery of butane at the feed, only the flows will change.

Regards.
