The half-life of cesium-137 is 30 years. Suppose that we start with 70 grams of cesium-137 in a storage pool. How many half-lives will it take for there to be 10 grams of cesium-137 in the storage pool?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Let n be number of half lives taken .

10 = 70 x ( 1/2 )ⁿ

1/7 = ( 1/2 )ⁿ

2ⁿ = 7

n ln2 = ln 7

n = ln7 / ln2

= 1.9459 / .693

= 2.8

So 2.8 half lives will be required .

2. (6 pts) In a reaction, 235 mL of 1.50 M HCl solution reacts completely with an excess amount of
aluminum. If the hydrogen gas is collected over water in a container with a volume of 3.60 L and at a
temperature of 25.0 °C, calculate the pressure in the container. The vapor pressure of water is 23.78
mmHg (Table 6.4, page 232).
2Al(s) + 6HCl(aq) + 3H2(g) + 2AlCl3(aq)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P=1.23atm[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the total pressure in the container includes the pressures of both hydrogen and water:

[tex]P=P_{H_2}+P_{H_2O}[/tex]

For the reacting solution of HCl, based on the 6:3 mole ratio with hydrogen in the chemical reaction, we can next compute the yielded moles o hydrogen:

[tex]n_{H_2}=0.235L*1.50\frac{molHCl}{L}*\frac{3molH_2}{6molHCl} =0.176molH_2[/tex]

Then, by using the ideal gas equation we compute the pressure of hydrogen for the collected 3.60 L at 25.0 °C (298.15 K):

[tex]P_{H_2}=\frac{n_{H_2}RT}{V} =\frac{0.176mol*0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*298.15K}{3.60L}=1.20atm[/tex]

Finally, since the vapor pressure of water in at is 0.03129, the total pressure is then:

[tex]P=1.20atm+0.03129atm\\\\P=1.23atm[/tex]

This chart shows four atoms, labeled W, X, Y, and Z. These atoms can combine with each other to form molecules.

Which combination of atoms will form a molecule, but not a compound?

A. W and X
B. X and Y
C. W and Z
D. Y and Z

Answers

Answer:

W and Z

Explanation:

Atoms of the SAME element OR two atoms of DIFFERENT elements will form a MOLECULE.

E.g. 2 atoms of hydrogen + 1 atom of oxygen => 1 molecule of water. This 1 molecule of water can also be called a compound.

Also, 2 atoms of Oxygen can combine to form 1 molecule of Oxygen. This 1 molecule of Oxygen cannot be referred to as a compound.

Atoms of DIFFERENT elements form a COMPOUND.

Therefore, compounds are molecules, but molecules are not compounds.

Thus, the combination of atoms that will form a molecule, but not a compound is:

W(oxygen) + Z(oxygen) = molecule

Complete Question

Magnesium sulfate forms a hydrate with the formula [tex]MgSO_4. 7H_20[/tex]. What is the maximum amount of water (in grams) that can be removed from 15 ml of toluene by the addition of 200 mg of anhydrous magnesium sulfate? The molar mass of [tex]MgSO_4[/tex] is 120.4 g/mol; H20 = 18 g/mol.

Answer:

The value  is  [tex]z =  0.2093 \  g[/tex] of  [tex]H_2O[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The volume of toluene is  [tex]V = 15 mL[/tex]

    The mass of  anhydrous magnesium sulfate is  [tex]m =  200m g  = 200 *10^{-3} \  g[/tex]

   The formula of the hydrate is   [tex]MgSO_4. 7H_20[/tex]

    The molar mass of   [tex]MgSO_4[/tex]  is  [tex]z =120.4 \ g/mol[/tex]

From the formula given we see that

  1 mole of  [tex]Mg SO_4[/tex] wil remove  7 moles of [tex]H_2O[/tex] to for the given formula

Hence

  120.4 g (1 mole) will remove  7 moles (7 * 18 g = 126 g  ) of  [tex]H_2O[/tex] to for the given formula

Therefore 1 g of  [tex]Mg SO_4[/tex]  x g  of  [tex]H_2O[/tex]  

So

     [tex]x  =  \frac{x]126 *  1}{ 120.4 }[/tex]

=>     [tex]x  =  1.0465 \  g [/tex]

From our calculation we obtained that

  1 g of [tex]Mg SO_4[/tex] will remove  [tex]x  =  1.0465 \  g [/tex]  of  [tex]H_2O[/tex]  

Then  

   [tex]200 *10^{-3} \  g[/tex] of [tex]Mg SO_4[/tex] will remove z g of  [tex]x  =  1.0465 \  g [/tex]  of  [tex]H_2O[/tex]  

So

   [tex]z =  200 *10^{-3} *  1.0465[/tex]

=>[tex]z =  200 *10^{-3} *  1.0465[/tex]

=>[tex]z =  0.2093 \  g[/tex] of  [tex]H_2O[/tex]

Calculate the solubility of Zn(OH)2 in water at 25°C.

Answers

Answer:

The solubility of Zn(OH)₂ at 25ºC is 1.96x 10⁻⁶,

Explanation:

The solubility is the maximum amount of a solute that can be dissolved in a certain volume of liquid (usually water) at a given temperature.

First, we write the dissolution reaction of Zn(OH)₂ in water, which is:

Zn(OH)₂ (s)  ⇄ Zn²⁺ + 2 OH⁻

We know that the Kps, that is, the dissolution equilibrium constant for this compound at 25ºC is 3.0x 10⁻¹⁷.

Therefore, the Kps is:

Kps= [Zn²⁺][OH⁻]² (since Zn(OH)₂ is solid, it is not accounted for).

Given the reaction, we can see that for every single Zn²⁺ ion, two OH⁻ ions are produced. Therefore, if the concentration of Zn²⁺ dissolved is x M, the concentration of OH⁻ dissolved will be 2x M.

Substituting these values in Kps, we have:

[Zn²⁺][OH⁻]² = (x)(2x)² = 3.0x 10⁻¹⁷

                            4x³ = 3.0x 10⁻¹⁷

                             x= ∛ (3.0x 10⁻¹⁷ ÷ 4)

                            x= 1.96x 10⁻⁶

Therefore, the molar solubility of Zn(OH)₂ at 25ºC will be 1.96x 10⁻⁶.

• Why does a carpeted floor feel warmer to bare feet than tile or wood even though
all surfaces are the same temperature?

Answers

Carpet is mostly air and air is a poor conductor of heat. Wood is solid, so it is a better conductor. Tile and metal are even better conductors than wood. When you touch the carpet, it is not able to remove heat from your feet as easily as wood, and as a result, it feels warmer.

As air undergoes conduction better in tile than in carpet, hence a carpeted floor feel warmer to bare feet than tile or wood even though all surfaces are the same temperature.

What is conduction?

Conduction is defined as a process as a means of which heat is transferred from the hotter end of the body to it's cooler end.Heat flows spontaneously from a body which is hot to a body which is cold.

In the process of conduction,heat flow is within the body and through itself.In solids the conduction of heat is due to the vibrations and collisions of molecules while in liquids and gases it is due to the random motion of the molecules .

When conduction takes place, heat is usually transferred from one molecule to another as they are in direct contact with each other.There are 2 types of conduction:1) steady state conduction 2) transient conduction.According to the type of energy conduction is of three types:

1) heat conduction

2) electrical conduction

The end point of the titration is reached after 0.90 mL0.90 mL of Na2S2O3Na2S2O3 is dispensed from a microburet. What is the concentration of the standard sodium thiosulfate solution?

Answers

Answer:

0.133

Explanation:

reaction between KIO3 and KI in acidic medium

IO3⁻ +5I⁻ +6h⁺ → 3I₂ + 3H₂O

I₂ reacts with thiosulphate

NaS₂O₃  → 2Na⁺ + S₂O₃²⁻

net reaction

IO⁻₃ + 6H⁺ + 6S₂O₃³⁻ → I⁻ + 3S₄O₆²⁻ + 3H₂O

mole of KIO₃

= molarity x volume

[tex]\frac{0.02mol}{L} *0.01L[/tex]

= 0.00002mol

a mole of KIO₃ has reaction with 6 mol of S₂O₃²⁻

= 2x6x10⁻⁵

= 0.00012 mol

volume = 0.90 ml

1 ml = 0.001L

0.90ML  = 0.0009L

to get concentration,

molarity/volume

= 0.00012/0.0009

= 0.133m

The concentration of the standard sodium thiosulfate solution is ; 0.133

The net chemical reaction equation

IO₃⁻  +  6H⁺  +   6S₂O₃³⁻ ---->  I⁻  +  3S₄O₆²⁻  + 3H₂O

First step : Determine the moles of  KIO₃

number of moles = molarity * volume

                            = 0.02 mol / L * 0.01 L

                            = 0.00002 mol

From the net chemical reaction equation

one ( 1 ) mole of KIO₃ reacts with 6 moles of S₂O₃²⁻

∴ number of moles in the reaction = 6 * 0.00002 = 0.00012 mol.

Final step : Determine the concentration of sodium thiosulfate solution

Given Volume = 0.90 ml = 0.0009 L

∴ concentration of sodium thiosulfate solution

   =  0.00012 / 0.0009  =  0.133

Hence we can conclude that The concentration of the standard sodium thiosulfate solution is ; 0.133

Calculate the concentration of buffer components present in 210.00 mL of a buffer solution that contains 0.300 M NH4Cl and 0.300 M NH3 immediately after the addition of 1.00 mL of 6.00 M HNO3.

Answers

Answer:

[NH3] = 0.270M

[NH4Cl] = 0.327M

Explanation:

The HNO3 will react with the weak base, NH3, as follows:

HNO₃ + NH₃ → NH₄⁺ + NO₃⁻

Initial moles of each specie of the buffer:

NH3 = NH4⁺ 0.210L * (0.300mol/L) = 0.063moles

The moles added of HNO3 = Additional moles of NH4Cl and the moles substracted of NH3:

0.001L * (6mol / L) = 0.006 moles.

After the addition:

Moles NH3 = 0.063mol - 0.006mol = 0.057moles

Moles NH4Cl = 0.063mol + 0.006mol = 0.0069moles

And their concentrations are:

[NH3] = 0.057moles / 0.211L = 0.270M

[NH4Cl] = 0.069moles / 0.211L = 0.327M

The system is originally at equilibrium with [butane] = 1.0 M and [isobutane] = 2.5 M.If 0.50 mol/L of isobutane is suddenly added and the system shifts to a new equilibrium position, what is the equilibrium concentration of butane?

Answers

Answer:

1.14 M

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

butane ⇄ isobutane

We can use the concentrations at equilibrium to calculate the equilibrium constant.

Kc = [isobutane] / [butane]

Kc = 2.5 / 1.0

Kc = 2.5

If we add 0.50 M of isobutane, we get [isobutane] = 2.5 + 0.50 = 3.0 M.

This will be an initial concentration in an ICE chart.

        butane ⇄ isobutane

I           1.0              3.0

C         +x                -x

E        1.0+x           3.0-x

The equilibrium constant is:

Kc = 2.5 = [isobutane] / [butane]

2.5 = (3.0-x) / (1.0+x)

2.5 + 2.5x = 3.0-x

x = 0.14

The equilibrium concentration of butane is:

[butane] = 1.0+x = 1.14 M
