The fraction of the original amount remaining is closest to 1/128

<h3>Determination of the number of half-lives</h3>
  • Half-life (t½) = 4 days
  • Time (t) = 4 weeks = 4 × 7 = 28 days
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 28 / 4

n = 7

<h3>How to determine the amount remaining </h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 100 g
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 7
  • Amount remaining (N)=?

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

N = 100 / 2⁷

N = 0.78125 g

<h3>How to determine the fraction remaining </h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 100 g
  • Amount remaining (N)= 0.78125 g
  • Fraction remaining =?

Fraction remaining = N / N₀

Fraction remaining = 0.78125 / 100

Fraction remaining = 1/128

⦁answer Calculate the density in g/L of 478 mL of krypton at 47° C and 671 mm Hg. ⦁ Determine the molar mass of a gas that has a
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

- Krypton: density= 2.8 g/L

- Molar Mass= 63.99 g/mol

- Mass of O₂= 15.29 g

Explanation:

The general equation of an ideal gas is the folllowing:

P x V = n x R x T

Where: P= pressure (in atm), V= volume; n= number of moles, R= gas constant (0,082 L.atm/K.mol) and T= temperature (in K).

<u>For krypton</u>:

P= 671 mmHg = 0,882 atm

V= 478 ml x 1000 ml/1 L= 0,478 L

T= 47ºC= 320 K

MM= 83.8 g/mol (from Periodic Table, Kr is an inert gas so it is a monoatomic gas)

P x V = n x R x T

Since the number of moles of a compound can be calculated by dividing the mass of compound (m) into its molar mass (MM):

n= m/MM

We can replace the expression in the first equation to obtain:

P x V= \frac{m}{MM} x R x T

m/V= \frac{P x MM}{R x T}

Density (d) is equal to the mass per volume (m/V), so we can directly calculate the density:

d= m/V= \frac{P x MM}{R x T}=

           = (0.882 atm x 83.8 g/mol)/(0.082 L.atm/K.mol x 320 K)

           = 2.81 g/L

<u>For the gas:</u>

d= 2.18 g/L

T= 66ºC= 339 K

P= 720 mmHg= 0.947 atm

d= \frac{P x MM}{R x T}

⇒MM = \frac{dx R x T}{P}

         = (2.18 g/L x 0.082 L.atm/K.mol x 339 K)/(0.947 atm)

         = 63.99 g/mol ≅ 64 g/mol

<u>For the O₂</u>:

V= 5.60 L

P= 1.75 atm

T= 250 K

MM(O₂) = 2 x Atomic Mass O= 2 x 16 g/mol= 32 g/mol

We can use the second equation:

P x V= \frac{m}{MM} x R x T

⇒  m = \frac{P x V x MM}{R x T}= (1.75 atm x 5.6 L x 32 g/mol)/(0.082 L.atm/K.mol x 250 K)

                         = 15.29 g≅ 16 g

Describe how spead, velocity and<br> brcoloration are related.
Flura [38]

Answer:

Speed, being a scalar quantity, is the rate at which an object covers distance. The average speed is the distance (a scalar quantity) per time ratio. On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity; it is direction-aware. Velocity is the rate at which the position changes.

A reaction produces 74.10 g Ca(OH)2 after 56.08 g CaO is added to 36.04 g H2O. How should the difference in the masses of reacta
melomori [17]
Cao +  H2O  ---->Ca(OH)2
Calculate   the  number  of  each   reactant  and  the  moles  of  the  product
that  is
moles = mass/molar mass
The  moles  of  CaO=  56.08g/  56.08g/mol(molar  mass  of  Cao)=  1mole
the  moles  of  water=  36.04 g/18  g/mol=  2.002moles
The   moles  of Ca (OH)2=74.10g/74.093g/mol= 1mole

 The  mass  of differences  of  reactant  and  product  can   be  therefore 
 explained  as 
 1  mole   of  Cao  reacted  completely   with   1  mole   H2O  to  produce  1 mole  of  Ca(OH)2. The  mass  of  water   was  in  excess  while  that  of  CaO  was  limited

How many electrons, protons, neutrons, and what is the atomic number and atomic mass (if any) does Fluoride have?
ExtremeBDS [4]
Fluoride is an anion of Fluorine

What this means is that the two have the same number of protons (9), but Fluoride has 10 electrons compared to Fluorine's 9.

So the answers are:
Protons - 9
Neutrons - 9
Electrons - 10
Atomic Number - 9
Atomic Mass - 19 g/mol
