Imagine the following scenario involving marbles as "radioactive isotopes".

Let's say the half-life of green marbles is 1 million years.

In one hand, you're holding 2 green marbles. In your other hand, you're holding 500,000 green marbles.

Hypothetically, noting that we have two different starting amounts of "isotopes", how long will it take for half of each amount to decay?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1 million years

Explanation:

The half life of a radioactive isotope refers to the time it takes for the radioactive isotope to decay to half of its original amount.

The half life of a radioactive isotope is independent of the amount of starting material. Hence, whether the amount of starting material is small or large, the half life of the substance remains the same.

Hence the half life of 2 green marbles and 500,000 green marbles is 1 million years.

A gas in a sealed container has a pressure of 125 atm at a temperature of 303 K. If the pressure in the container is increased to 200 atm, what is the new temperature if the volume remains constant?
(Show work pls :)!)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]T_2=484.8K[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the the variable temperature and pressure and constant volume, it turns out possible for us to calculate the new temperature via the Gay-Lussac's law as shown below:

[tex]\frac{T_2}{P_2} =\frac{T_1}{P_1}[/tex]

Thus, by solving for the final temperature, T2, we obtain:

[tex]T_2 =\frac{T_1P_2}{P_1}[/tex]

So we plug in the given data to obtain:

[tex]T_2 =\frac{303K*200atm}{125atm}\\\\T_2=484.8K[/tex]

if a lake has excess levels of phosphates and nirates in its water what will most likely result ?

Answers

Answer:

Eutrophication

Explanation:

Eutrophication results when there is excess levels of phosphates and nitrates in its water of lake.

When there is high level of nutrition level in the water body of lake, then the productivity of water plants increases thereby leading to algal boom and hence Eutrophication.

- Calculate the Standard Enthalpy of the reaction below:
NH3(g) + HCI (g) → NH4Cl(s)
Using the following Enthalpy of Reactions:
2HCI(g) → H2(g) + Cl2(g)
AH = +184.6 KJ
2H2(g) + 1/2 N2(g) + 1/2 Cl2(g) → NH4Cl(s) deltaH = -314.4 kJ
N2(g) + 3 H2(g) → 2 NH3(g)
deltaH = +184.6 kJ​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

We have the three equations:

[tex]NH_{3(g)} + HCl_{(g)} => NH_4Cl_{(s)} ..... \Delta H = ? (1)\\2HCl_{(g)} => H_{2(g)} + Cl_{2(g)} .... \Delta H = +184.6 kJ (2)\\2H_{2(g)} + 1/2N_{2(g)} + 1/2Cl_{2(g)} => NH_4Cl_{(s)} ..... \Delta H = -314.2 kJ (3)\\ N_{2(g)} + 3H_{2(g)} => 2NH_{3(g)} .... \Delta H = +184.6kJ (4)[/tex]

(can you double check that it is 184.6kJ for both equations 2 and 4 because it seems unlikely). We need to solve for equation 1 by addition and changing equations 2, 3 and 4. After possibly some trial and error, we can find that if we flip equations 4, multiply equation 3 by 2, add the equations together, and then finally divide by 2, we can get equation 1. We will get the answer of -314.2 kJ. However, I am again skeptical about the delta H values for equation 2 and 4 so double check that. This method might be super confusing and it is really hard to explain. So what I would suggest you to watch videos on Hess' law.

A 31.25 mL aliquot of weak base that has a concentration of 0.683 M will be titrated with 0.434 M HCl. Calculate the pH of of the solution upon neutralization of half of the weak base. The Kb of the base is 1.5×10-6.

Answers

Answer:

pH = 8.18

Explanation:

The weak base, X, reacts with HCl as follows:

X + HCl → HX⁺ + Cl⁻

Where 1 mole of X with 1 mole of HCl produce 1 mole of HX⁺ (The conjugate acid of the weak base).

Now, using H-H equation for bases:

pOH = pKb + log [XH⁺] / [X]

Where pOH is the pOH of the buffer (pH = 14 -pOH)

pKb is -log Kb = 5.824

And [X] [HX⁺] are the molar concentrations of each specie

Now, at the neutralization of the half of HX⁺, the other half is as X, that means:

[X] = [HX⁺]

And:

pOH = pKb + log [HX⁺] / [X]

pOH = 5.824 + log 1

pOH = 5.824

pH = 14-pOH

pH = 8.18

Answers

Answer: a. Cathode

b. Galvanic cell

c. Anode

d. Electrolytic cell

e. half reaction

Explanation:

Galvanic cell or Electrochemical cell is defined as a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produced in a spontaneous redox reaction into the electrical energy.

Electrolytic cell is a device where electrical energy is used to drive a non spontaneous chemical reaction.

In the electrochemical cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode.  Thus the electrons are produced at anode and travel towards cathode.

The balanced two-half reactions will be:

Oxidation half reaction : [tex]M\rightarrow M^{n+}+ne^-[/tex]

Reduction half reaction : [tex]N^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow N[/tex]

Thus the overall reaction will be: [tex]M+N^{n+}\rghtarrow M^{n+}+N[/tex]

What is the greatest concentration of pollution

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:The poisonous substances, present in the environment can easily get into the trophic level as living organism depends on each other and environment for food and nutrition. These poisonous substances may not be broken down in the body or excreted easily, efficiently and quickly. Instead, they accumulate in the tissues, and as the living organism eats more, the concentration of these substances increases and they pass from one trophic level to the next. The tertiary consumer being at the top of trophic levels receives the maximum pollutant. This phenomenon is known as biological magnification.

So, the correct answer is option B.

An isolated atom of a certain element emits light of wavelength 655 nm when the atom falls from its fifth excited state into its second excited state. The atom emits a photon of wavelength 435 nm when it drops from its sixth excited state into its second excited state. Find the wavelength of the light radiated when the atom makes a transition from its sixth to its fifth excited state.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{6-5}} \approx 752nm[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Light wavelength  [tex]\lambda_l=655nm[/tex]

Light wavelength atom fall [tex]x_L=5th-2nd[/tex]

Photon wavelength  [tex]\lambda_p=435nm[/tex]

Photon wavelength atom fall [tex]x_P=^th-2nd[/tex]

Generally the equation for the reciprocal of wavelength of emitted photon is is mathematically given by

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda}=R(\frac{1}{ \lambda _f^2}-\frac{1}{\lambda _i^2} )[/tex]

Therefore for initial drop of 5th to 2nd

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{5-2}}=R(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{5^2} )[/tex]

Therefore for initial drop of 6th to 2nd

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{6-2}}=R(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{6^2} )[/tex]

Generally we subtract (5th to 2nd) from (6th to 2nd)

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{5-2}}- \frac{1}{\lambda_{6-2}}=R(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{5^2} )-\frac{1}R(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{6^2} )[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{5-2}}- \frac{1}{\lambda_{6-2}}=R(\frac{1}{5^2}-\frac{1}{6^2} )[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{5-2}}- \frac{1}{\lambda_{6-2}}=\frac{1}{\lambda_{5-6}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{5-6}}=\frac{1}{4350nm}-\frac{1}{655nm}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{5-6}}=1.33*10^{-3}[/tex]

Therefore for 6th to 5th stage is mathematically given by

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{6-5}}=(1.33*10^{-3})^{-1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{6-5}}=751.879nm[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda_{6-5}} \approx 752nm[/tex]

Imine formation from an aldehyde and an amine proceeds reversibly under slightly acidic conditions. The reaction is reversible due to acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the imine. Imine formation generates an equivalent of water. Given these facts, explain why the imine can be isolated from the reaction mixture.

Answers

Answer:

Imine can be isolated from the reaction mixture as water is continuously removed from the reaction chamber

Explanation:

In this reaction, a non -aqueous solvent  is not used (not mentioned in the question). Thus, we can say that there is continuous removal water under suitable reacting conditions and hence the imine formed is left behind.

The half-life of argon-39 is 269 years. It decays into krypton-39. After 1,076 years, what fraction of the original amount of argon-39 in a sample will still be argon

1/16
1/4
1/2
1/8

Answers

Answer:

1/16

Explanation:

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

Half-life (t½) = 269 years

Time (t) = 1076 years

Fraction remaining =?

Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapsed. This can be obtained as follow:

Half-life (t½) = 269 years

Time (t) = 1076 years

Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 1076 / 269

n = 4

Thus, 4 half-lives has elapsed.

Finally, we shall determine the fraction of the original amount remaining. This can be obtained as follow:

Let N₀ be the original amount.

Let N be the amount remaining.

Number of half-lives (n) = 4

Fraction remaining (N/N₀ ) =?

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

N = 1/2⁴ × N₀

N = 1/16 × N₀

Divide both side by N₀

N/N₀ = 1/16

Thus, the fraction of the original amount remaining is 1/16
