The amount remaining at the end of 5 half-lives is 7.81×10¹³ g

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

  • Half-life (t½) = 5730 years
  • Original amount (N₀) = 2.5×10¹⁵ g
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 5
  • Amount remaining (N) =?

The amount remaining can be obtained as follow:

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

N = 1/2⁵ × 2.5×10¹⁵

N = 1/32 × 2.5×10¹⁵

N = 0.03125 × 2.5×10¹⁵

N = 7.81×10¹³ g

Therefore, the amount remaining after 5 half-lives is 7.81×10¹³ g

Which of the following is true for an excess reactant?
kupik [55]

Answer:

C) It is the reactant that is left over after the reaction stops.

Explanation:

The excess reactant is the reactant that is left over after the reaction stops. The extent of the reaction is not determined by this reactant.

A limiting reactant is a reactant that is in short supply within a given reaction.

Such reactants determines the extent of chemical reaction.

  • Limiting reactants are used up in a chemical reaction.
  • The excess reactants remains unchanged after the reaction.

A sample of oxygen gas occupies a volume of 250 mL at .8 atm of pressure. What volume will it occupy at 1.2 atm of pressure?
musickatia [10]
167 mL

P1V1 = P2V2
P1 = .8 atm
V1 = 250 mL
P2 = 1.2 atm

Solve for V2 —> V2 = P1V1/P2

V2 = (0.8 atm)(250 mL) / (1.2 atm) = 167 mL

What is the total ionic equation for the following reaction?
schepotkina [342]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An equation in which electrolytes are represented in the form of ions is known as an ionic equation.

Strong electrolytes easily dissociate into their corresponding ions. Hence, they form ionic equation.

H_{2}CrO_{4} is a strong acid and Ba(OH)_{2} is a strong bases, therefore, both of them will dissociate into ions.

Thus, total ionic equation will be as follows.

2H^{+} + CrO_{4}^{-} + Ba^{2+} + 2OH^{-} \rightarrow Ba^{2+} + CrO_{4}^{-} + 2H_{2}O
