It would take 147 hours for 320 g of the sample to decay to 2.5 grams from the information provided.

Radioactivity refers to the decay of a nucleus leading to the spontaneous emission of radiation. The half life of a radioactive nucleus refers to the time required for the nucleus to decay to half of its initial amount.

Looking at the table, we can see that the initial mass of radioactive material present is 186 grams, within 21 hours, the radioactive substance decayed to half of its initial mass (93 g). Hence, the half life is 21 hours.

Using the formula;

k = 0.693/t1/2

k = 0.693/21 hours = 0.033 hr-1

Using;

N=Noe^-kt

N = mass of radioactive sample at time t

No = mass of radioactive sample initially present

k = decay constant

t = time taken

Substituting values;

2.5/320= e^- 0.033 t

0.0078 = e^- 0.033 t

ln (0.0078) = 0.033 t

t = ln (0.0078)/-0.033

t = 147 hours

Write an ionic equation for the reaction of acetic acid with sodium ethoxide, and specify whether the equilibrium favors startin
Elina [12.6K]
<h2>Acetic Acid + Sodium ethoxide ⇄ Butyric Acid + Sodium Hydroxide</h2>

Explanation:

An ionic equation for the reaction of acetic acid with sodium ethoxide is as follows -

  • Reactants -

       Acetic Acid and Sodium ethanolate (sodium ethoxide)

  • Products -

       Butyric Acid and Sodium hydroxide

Hence,

     Acetic Acid + Sodium ethoxide ⇄ Butyric Acid + Sodium Hydroxide

     CH_3COOH + C_2H_5ONa ⇄ CH_3COOC_2H_5 + NaOH

  • Weak acids and bases have low energy than strong acids and bases.
  • The chemical equilibria shift the reaction side with the species having lower energy.
  • Given reaction is an acid-base reaction in which the equilibrium favors the starting material that means it will go to the side of the weakest acid that is acetic acid is weaker than butyric acid.

can someone please explain me electronic arrangement of different elements please tomorrow is my paper i neEd help ASAP !!!!!!!
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

This list of electron configurations of elements contains all the elements in increasing order of atomic number.

To save room, the configurations are in noble gas shorthand. This means part of the electron configuration has been replaced with the element symbol of the noble gas symbol. Look up the electronic configuration of that noble gas and include that value before the rest of the configuration.

Explanation:

hope this help
