Answer:

A = 349 g.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the radioactive decay kinetic model is based on the first-order kinetics whose integrated rate law is:

A=Ao*exp(-kt)

We can firstly calculate the rate constant given the half-life as shown below:

k=\frac{ln(2)}{t_{1/2}} =\frac{ln(2)}{58year}=0.012year^{-1}

Therefore, we can next plug in the rate constant, elapsed time and initial mass of the radioactive to obtain:

A=500g*exp(-0.012year^{-1} *30year)\\\\A=349g

Regards!

The complete combustion of a sample of propane produced 2.641 grams of carbon dioxide and 1.442 grams of water as the only produ
ohaa [14]
A general equation for a combustion reaction would be expressed as follows:

CxHy + (x+y/2)O2 = xCO2 + y/2H2O

Propane would obviously would only have carbon and hydrogen in its structure. Assuming a complete combustion, all of the carbon atoms would go to carbon dioxide and all of the hydrogen atoms to water. To determine the empirical, we determine the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms present.

moles C = 2.461 g CO2 ( 1 mol / 44.01 g ) ( 1 mol C / 1 mol CO2 ) = 0.06 mol C

moles H = 1.442 g H2O ( 1 mol / 18.02 g ) ( 2 mol H / 1 mol H ) = 0.16 mol H

Then, we divide the smallest amount to the each mole of the atoms. We do as follows:

C = 0.06 / 0.06 = 1
H = 0.16 / 0.06 = 2.67

Then we multiply a number in order to obtain a whole number ratio between the atoms.

2       C2H5.34
3       C3H8   <-------- empirical formula
