4. DBearded waste of Co-60 must be stored until it is no longer radioactive. Cobalt-60

Bingel [31]

464 g radioisotope was present when the sample was put in storage

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Sample waste of Co-60 = 14.5 g

26.5 years in storage

Required

Initial sample

Solution

General formulas used in decay:

$\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{t/t\frac{1}{2} }}}$

t = duration of decay

t 1/2 = half-life

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time

Half-life of Co-60 = 5.3 years

Input the value :

$\tt 14.5=No.\dfrac{1}{2}^{26.5/5.3}\\\\14.5=No.\dfrac{1}{2}^5\\\\No=\boxed{\bold{464~g}}$

For the chemical reaction 2HBr(aq)+Ba(OH)2(aq)⟶2H2O(l)+BaBr2(aq) write the net ionic equation, including the phases.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

2H⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) --> 2H2O(l)

Explanation:

2HBr(aq)+Ba(OH)2(aq)⟶2H2O(l)+BaBr2(aq)

We break the compounds into ions. Only compounds in the aqueous form can be turned into ions.

The ionic equation is given as;

2H⁺(aq) + 2Br⁻(aq) + Ba²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) --> 2H2O(l) + Ba²⁺(aq) + 2Br⁻(aq)

Upon eliminating the spectator ions; The net equation is given as;

2H⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) --> 2H2O(l)

An unknown liquid is composed of 34.31% c, 5.28% h, and 60.41% i. The molecular weight is 210.06 amu. What is the molecular form

ozzi

In an unknown liquid, the percentage composition with respect to carbon, hydrogen and iodine is 34.31%, 5.28% and 60.41% respectively.

Let the mass of liquid be 100 g thus, mass of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen will be 34.31 g, 5.28 g and 60.41 g respectively.

To calculate molecular formula of compound, convert mass into number of moles as follows:

$n=\frac{m}{M}$

Molar mass of carbon, hydrogen and iodine is 12 g/mol, 1 g/mol and 126.90 g/mol.

Taking the ratio:

$C:H:I=n_{C}:n_{H}:n_{I}$

Putting the values,

$C:H:I=\frac{34.31 g}{12 g/mol}:\frac{5.28 g}{1 g/mol}:\frac{60.41 g}{126.90 g/mol}=6:11:1$

Thus, molecular formula of compound will be $C_{6}H_{11}I$ .
