Iodine-131 has a half-life of 8 days. How long would it take for the number of unstable nuclei in the sample to be reduced from 1,000 to 125?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

After one-half life: 16 mg

After 2-half lives: 8 mg

After 3-half lives: 4 mg

After 4-half lives: 2 mg

After 5-half lives: 1 mg

(5 half-lives) x (8 days/half-life) = 40 days  

or doing it the mathematical way:  Let z be the number of days to be found:

1 mg = 32 mg x (1/2)^(z / 8 days)  

1/32 = (1/2)^(z / 8 days)  

log (1/32) = (z / 8 days) x log (1/2)  

z / 8 days = log (1/32) / log (1/2)

z = 8 days x log (1/32) / log (1/2) = 40 days

Explanation:

Answer 2

Iodine-131 has a half-life of 8 days, then it would it take for the number of unstable nuclei in the sample to be reduced from 1,000 to 125 is 512 days.

How do we calculate total time?

Total time of the reduction of any substance from an initial concentration to a particular concentration will be calculated as:

T = (t)ⁿ, where

n = number of half lives

t = half life time = 8 days

1st half life: 1000 → 500

2nd half life: 500 → 250

3rd half life: 250 → 125

So number of half life times is 3. On putting values we get,

T = (8)³

T = 512 days

Hence total duration of time is 512 days.

An element and an atom are different but related because
a) A particular element is made up of many different types of atoms b) A molecule is the same as an atom
c) An element is made up of all the same type of atom
d) An element is smaller than an atom

Answers

Answer:

c) An element is made up of all the same type of atom

Explanation:

Atoms are the smallest unit of an element that consists of protons, electrons and neutrons in its structure. An element is the smallest part of a chemical substance that cannot be disintegrated i.e. it cannot be broken down further.

Atoms and elements are different in many ways but they are connected in the sense that an element contains only one type of atoms. For example, aluminum element is made up of only aluminum atoms. Different atoms form a molecule but same atoms form an element.

The difference of the element and iron should be option c) An element is made up of all the same type of atom.

What are atoms and elements?

The atom represents the smallest unit that comprises of protons, electrons, etc.

While on the other hand, the element represents the small part of the chemical substance that should not be disintegrated. Also, it cannot be split. They both should be interlinked.

Therefore, the option c is correct.

Let's say you added too much magnesium in the amount of 0.1594 g. How much 8.00 M HCl (in mL) would be required to decompose the excess Mg present?
Mg(s) + 2 HCl(aq) --> MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Answers

Answer:

1.65×10^-3 L or 1.65 mL

Explanation:

Number of moles of magnesium in the excess reagent= mass of excess reagent/ molar mass of magnesium

Mass of excess magnesium= 0.1594 g

Molar mass of magnesium= 24 gmol-1

Number of moles of magnesium= 0.1594/24 = 6.6×10^-3 moles

From the reaction equation;

1 mole of magnesium reacted with 2 moles of HCl

6.6×10^-3 moles of magnesium will react with 6.6×10^-3 moles × 2= 13.2×10^-3 moles of HCl

But we know that;

Number of moles of HCl= concentration of HCl × volume of HCl

Volume of HCl= number of moles of HCl/ concentration of HCl

Since concentration of HCl= 8.00M

Volume of HCl= 13.2×10^-3/8.00= 1.65×10^-3 L or 1.65 mL

Both electronegativity and ionisation energy decreases
Both electronegativity and ionisation energy increases
They remain the same

Answers

Answer:

When we move from the bottom to the top of the periodic table:

Both electronegativity and ionisation energy increases.

Explanation:

The ionization energy I is the energy needed to start an electron to a gaseous atom, isolated and in a fundamental state. The electrons are attracted to the nucleus, so it is necessary to provide energy to start them. You should keep in mind that the electrons of the last layer are always lost, because they are the weakest attracted to the nucleus.

In a group, the ionization energy increases upwards because when passing from one element to the bottom, it contains one more layer of electrons. Therefore, the valence layer electrons, being further away from the nucleus, will be less attracted to it and it will cost less energy to pluck them.

On the other hand, electonegativity is defined as the ability of an element to attract electrons that link it to another element.

When descending within the same group, the atomic radius increases and the ionization energy decreases, indicating that the electrons are less attracted to the nucleus and therefore the electronegativity decreases from top to bottom.

Electrons will flow from one object to the other when they touch each other. The two objects have the same electric charge. The objects do not have strong electrical fields.

Answers

Answer:

The two objects have the same electric charge.

Explanation:

Electrically charged objects repel if they are both of the same charge, ie plus plus or minus minus.

The statement, that describes two electrically charged objects repel one another is "the two objects have the same electric charge."

What is an electric charge?

The feature of subatomic particles that causes them to experience a force when put in an electric and magnetic field is known as electric charge.

When one or more items are electrically charged, electrostatic interactions are widespread. Two items with opposing charges will attract each other.

Unlike the attractive force between two items with opposite charges, two objects with like charges repel each other. In other words, a positively charged object will repel another positively charged object. This repelling force will separate the two items.

Hence the correct answer is the two objects have the same electric charge.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\large \boxed{\text{528.7 g} }[/tex]

Explanation:

It often helps to write the heat as if it were a reactant or a product in the thermochemical equation.

Then you can consider it to be 11018 "moles" of "kJ"  

We will need a chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.

M_r:                      32.00

              2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ ⟶ 16CO₂ + 8H₂O + 11 018 kJ

n/mol:                                                                  7280

1. Moles of O₂

The molar ratio is 25 mol O₂:11 018 kJ

[tex]\text{Moles of O}_{2} = \text{7280 kJ} \times \dfrac{\text{25 mol O}_{2}}{\text{11 018 kJ}} = \text{16.52 mol O}_{2}[/tex]

Molar mass H2=(2*1)=2g/mol

Mass of H2=54.29grams

mole of H2= 54.29/2=27.15mol

4 mol of H2 = 1 mol Fe3O4

27.15mol of H2= 6.79mol of Fe3O4

Moles of Fe3O4 =6.79mol

Molar mass of Fe3O4= (56×3)+(16×4)

=168+64=232g/mol

Grams of Fe3O4 required to react with 54.29 grams of H2 is 232g/mol× 6.79mol

A compound contains 57.2 percent carbon, 6.1 percent hydrogen, 9.5 percent nitrogen, and 27.2 percent oxygen. What the empirical formula of the compound?

Answers

Answer:

So the empirical formula is C14H18N2O5

Explanation:

C = 57.2% = 12g/mol

H = 6.1% = 1g/mol

N = 9.5% = 14g/mol

O = 27.2% = 16g/mol

Empirical Formula for compound hmm

Assume

C = 57.2g

H = 6.1g

N = 9.5g

O = 27.2g

So we have

C = 57.2g/12g =  4.76  moles

H = 6.1g/1g      =  6.10   moles

N = 9.5g/14g   =  0.68  moles

O = 27.2g/16g =  1.70   moles

Divide each mole value by the smallest number of moles calculated.  Round to the nearest whole number.

C =  4.76  moles / 0.68 moles = 7

H = 6.10   moles / 0.68 moles = 9

N = 0.68  moles / 0.68 moles = 1

O = 1.70   moles / 0.68 moles = 2.5

Ok so we now have the ratios but for O it's 2.5, have to be whole numbers so we will need to double all the numbers.

C = 14

H = 18

N =  2

O =  5

So the empirical formula is C14H18N2O5

Explanation:

How many grams of C are required to react with 52.6grams of Fe2O2?

Fe2O2 + C = 2Fe + CO2

Ratio 1:1

Fe2O2 = 144 Molar Mass

Fe2O2 52.6/144 = 0.365Moles of Fe2O2

Fe =56grams/mole =  Charge 2+, 3+

O = 16grams/mole = Charge 2-

C = 12grams/mole = Charge 4+

So Ratio is 1:1 so we only need 0.365Moles of C so 4.38grams

a. 25 g
B. 10 g
С. It cannot be determined from the given
information.
d
D. 15g

Answers

Answer:

D. 15g

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that, in a chemical reaction, mass can neither be created nor destroyed. This means that the amount of matter in the elements of the reactants must be equal to the amount in the resulting products.

In this question, 25 grams of a reactant AB, was broken down in a reaction to produce 10 grams of products A and X grams of product B. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the reactant must be equal to the total mass of the products. This means that 25 grams must also be the total mass of both products in this reaction. Hence, if product A is 10 grams, product B will be 25 grams - 10 grams = 15 grams.

Therefore, product B must be 15 grams in order to form a total of 25 grams when added to the mass of product A. This will equate the mass of the reactant AB and fulfill the law of conservation of mass.
