If a radioactive source has a half life of 2 hours how long will it take for the activity to go from 200 to 25?

Chemistry

ikadub [295]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

It takes 6h to the radioactive source decrease its activity from 200 to 25

Explanation:

The equation that describes the readioactive decay is:

Ln [A] = -kt + Ln [A]₀

<em>Where [A] could be taken as activity of the source after time t, [A]₀ is initial activity and k is decay constant.</em>

<em />

Decay constant could be written as:

k = ln2 / Half-life

k = ln 2 / 2h

k = 0.3466h⁻¹

Replacing in decay equation:

Ln [25] = -0.3466h⁻¹t + Ln [200]

-2.0794 = -0.3466h⁻¹t

6h = t

It takes 6h to the radioactive source decrease its activity from 200 to 25

500 gramos de un mineral con una riqueza en cinc del 65 % se hacen reaccionar con una disolucion de acido sulfurico de riqueza 9
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Ver explicación abajo

Explanation:

LA pregunta esta incompleta, pero logré conseguir un ejercicio muy parecido a este con datos similares, y la pregunta que falta como tal son estas:

<em>"a) La cantidad de sal producida. </em>

<em>b)  Moléculas de hidrógeno obtenidas a 25 ºC y 740 mm Hg. </em>

<em>c)  El volumen de la disolución de ácido necesario para la reacción."</em>

Asumiendo que estos son los datos faltantes, hay que ver como resolver por parte:

<u>a) Cantidad de sal producida.</u>

En este caso debemos plantear la reacción que se lleva a cabo. Es un mineral que tiene Zinc y reacciona con acido sulfurico, por tanto la reacción que se lleva a cabo en teoría es:

Zn + H₂SO₄ -----------> ZnSO₄ + H₂

Entonces, queremos saber la cantidad de ZnSO₄ que se formó.

Para eso, debemos calcular primero cuantos gramos de zinc hay originalmente en la muestra, que son los que reaccionaron para formar esta sal, y luego los moles para que por medio de estequiometría, calculemos los moles de la sal.

Para la masa de Zinc, sabemos que el mineral contiene 65% de zinc o 0,65 entonces:

mZn = 0,65 * 500 = 325 g

Calculamos los moles usando la masa molecular de Zinc que es 65,37 g/mol:

moles = 325 / 65,37 = 4.97 moles

Ahora bien, como la reacción de arriba está bien balanceada, podemos asuimr por estequiometría que la relación Zn / ZnSO₄ es 1:1, asi que los moles de Zn serán los mismos de la sal por tanto:

moles Zn = moles ZnSO₄ = 4,97 moles

Calculando la masa molecular de ZnSO₄:

MM ZnSO₄ = 65,37 + 32 + (16 * 4) = 161,37 g/mol

Finalmente la masa de la sal es:

m ZnSO₄ = 4,97 * 161,37

<h2>mZnSO₄ = 802,01 g</h2>

b) Moléculas de hidrógeno obtenidas

PAra este caso, ya tenemos los moles de Zn, y por estequiometría, todas las especies presentes están en relación 1:1, así que los moles de hidrógeno son los mismos de zinc. No es necesario el dato de temperatura y presión acá pues ya tenemos los moles.

Para conocer el número de moléculas, necesitamos el número de abogadro que es 6.02x10²³ por lo tanto las moléculas de hidrógeno:

Moléculas de hidrógeno = 6,02x10²³ * 4,97

<h2>Moléculas de hidrógeno = 2.99x10²⁴ moléculas de H₂</h2>

<u>c) Volúmen de ácido empleado</u>

Finalmente para el ácido, como ya conocemos los moles empleados, podemos calcular la masa del ácido usando su peso molecular:

MM H₂SO₄ = (2*1) + 32 + (4*16) = 98 g/mol

m H₂SO₄ = 4,97 * 98 = 487,06 g

Ahora que ya sabemos su masa, solo calculamos la masa realmente usada (pues su %p/p es 96%) y con la densidad calculamos el volumen:

d = m/v

v = m/d

m H₂SO₄ (puro) = 487,96 * 0,96 = 467,58 g

El volumen será:

V = 467,58 g / 1,823

<h2>V = 256,49 mL</h2>

Espero que esto te sirva, o te ayude como impulso a tu ejercicio real.

Why do lipids make effective cell membranes in living cells?
Vaselesa [24]

The answer is the second option. Lipids make effective cell membranes in living cells because lipids (fats) are not soluble in water. This means that lipids and water do not mix... This lipid bilayer helps to protect the cell.

Enter your answer in the provided box. an aqueous solution containing 10 g of an optically pure substance was diluted to 500 ml
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

[α] = -77.5° / \frac{\textup{dm-g}}{\textup{mL}}

Explanation:

Given;

Mass of optically pure substance in the solution = 10 g

Volume of water = 500 mL

Length of the polarimeter, l = 20 cm = 20 × 0.1 dm = 2 dm

measured rotation = - 3.10°

Now,

The specific rotation ( [α] ) is given as:

[α] = \frac{\alpha}{c\times l}

here,

α is the measured rotation = -3.10°

c is the concentration

or

c = \frac{\textup{Mass of optically pure substance in the solution}}{\textup{Volume of water}}

or

c =  \frac{10}{500}

or

c = 0.02 g/mL

on substituting the values, we get

[α] = \frac{-3.10^o}{0.02\times2}

or

[α] = -77.5° / \frac{\textup{dm-g}}{\textup{mL}}

What volume of nitrogen dioxide is formed at 735 torr and 28.2 °C by reacting 3.56 cm3 of copper (d = 8.95 g/cm3) with 200 mL of
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

25.76 L

Explanation:

Given, Volume of Copper = 3.56 cm³

Density = 8.95 g/cm³

Considering the expression for density as:

Density=\frac {Mass}{Volume}

So,

So, Mass= Density * Volume = 8.95 g/cm³ * 3.56 cm³ = 31.862 g

Mass of copper = 31.862 g

Molar mass of copper = 63.546 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{31.862\ g}{63.546\ g/mol}

<u>Moles of copper = 0.5014 moles </u>

Given, Volume of nitric acid solution = 200 mL = 200 cm³

Density = 1.42 g/cm³

Considering the expression for density as:

Density=\frac {Mass}{Volume}

So,

So, Mass= Density * Volume = 1.42 g/cm³ * 200 cm³ = 284 g

Also, Nitric acid is 68.0 % by mass. So,  

Mass of nitric acid = \frac {68}{100}\times 284\ g = 193.12 g

Molar mass of nitric acid = 63.01 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Moles= \frac{193.12\ g}{63.01\ g/mol}

<u>Moles of nitric acid = 3.0649 moles </u>

According to the reaction,  

Cu_{(s)}+4HNO_3_{(aq)}\rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2_{(aq)} + 2NO_2_{(g)} + 2H_2O_{(l)}

1 mole of copper react with 4 moles of nitric acid

Thus,  

0.5014 moles of copper react with 4*0.5014 moles of nitric acid

Moles of nitric acid required = 2.0056 moles

Available moles of nitric acid = 3.0649 moles

<u>Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, nitric acid is present in large amount, copper is the limiting reagent. </u>

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

1 mole of copper on reaction forms 2 moles of nitrogen dioxide

So,

0.5014 mole of copper on reaction forms 2*0.5014 moles of nitrogen dioxide

<u>Moles of nitrogen dioxide = 1.0028 moles </u>

Given:  

Pressure = 735 torr

The conversion of P(torr) to P(atm) is shown below:

P(torr)=\frac {1}{760}\times P(atm)

So,  

Pressure = 735 / 760 atm = 0.9632 atm

Temperature = 28.2 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T₁ = (28.2 + 273.15) K = 301.35 K  

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

0.9632 atm × V = 1.0028 mol × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 301.35 K  

<u>⇒V = 25.76 L</u>
