Phosphorus-32 (32P) is an isotope that is commonly used for medical and biological research. Phosphorus-32 has a half-life of 14

.28 days. A researcher orders a sample of 32P that has an activity of 5.0 mCi when it arrives. If delivery of the sample took 48 hours, what was the activity of the sample when it was shipped from the manufacturer

The activity of the sample when it was shipped from the manufacturer is 4.54 mCi

<h3>How to determine the number of half-lives that has elapsed </h3>

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

  • Time (t) = 48 hours
  • Half-life (t½) = 14.28 days = 14.28 × 24 = 342.72 hours
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 48 / 342.72

n = 0.14

<h3>How to determine the activity of the sample during shipping </h3>
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 0.14
  • Original activity (N₀) = 5.0 mCi
  • Activity remaining (N) =?

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

N = 5 / 2^0.14

N = 4.54 mCi

Thus, the activity of the sample during shipping is 4.54 mCi

15 grams of sodium reacts with a certain amount of chlorine to yield 37 grams of sodium chloride, as shown below.
ale4655 [162]

Answer: 22g of chlorine would be needed to carry out this synthesis reaction

Explanation:

A synthesis reaction is one in which two or more than two elements combine together to forma single product.

Na+Cl\rightarrow NaCl

The atoms present in the reactants are found on the product side. According to the law of conservation of mass, the number of atoms on both sides of the arrow must be same as the total mass must be conserved.

15 grams of sodium reacts with 22 grams of chlorine to yield 37 grams of sodium chloride. Thus 22g of chlorine would be needed to carry out this synthesis reaction.

Question 10 OT 20
Airida [17]

Answer:

B) is reduced.

Explanation:

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Consider the following reactions.

4KI + 2CuCl₂  →   2CuI  + I₂  + 4KCl

the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced and it is oxidizing agent.

CO + H₂O   →  CO₂ + H₂

the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant  side and on product side it becomes  +4 so carbon get oxidized and it is reducing gent.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.

(LO 37,45) A reaction is 75% complete in 45.0 min. How long after its start will the reaction be 50% complete if it is (A) first
seropon [69]

Answer:

A) t = 22.5 min and B) t = 29.94 min

Explanation:

Initial concentration, [A]₀ = 100

Final concentration = 100 -75 = 25

Time = 45 min

A) First order reaction

ln[A] − ln[A]₀ = −kt

Solving for k;

ln[25] − ln[100] = - 45k

-1.386 = -45k

k = 0.0308 min-1

How long after its start will the reaction be 50% complete?

Initial concentration, [A]₀ = 100

Final concentration, [A] = 100 -50 = 50

Time = ?

ln[A] − ln[A]₀ = −kt

Solving for k;

ln[50] − ln[100] = - 0.0308 * t

-0.693 = -0.0308 * t

t = 22.5 min

B) Zero Order

[A] = [A]₀ − kt

Using the values from the initial reaction and solving for k, we have;

25 = 100 - k(45)

-75 = -45k

k = 1.67 M min-1

How long after its start will the reaction be 50% complete?

Initial concentration, [A]₀ = 100

Final concentration, [A] = 100 -50 = 50

Time = ?

[A] = [A]₀ − kt

50 = 100 - (1.67)t

-50 = - 1.67t

t = 29.94 min
