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

The reaction 2a → a2​​​​​ was experimentally determined to be second order with a rate constant, k, equal to 0.0265 m–1min–1. if
olga nikolaevna [1]
According to the second order formula:
1/[At] = K t + 1/[Ao]
and when we have the K constant =0.0265 & we have t = 180 min & we have the initial concentration of A = 4.25 so by substitution:

1/[At]  = 0.0265 X 180min + 1/4.25 
1/[At] = 5
∴[At] = 1/5 = 0.2 m
