A bottle of vintage red wine has lost its label. The concentration of a radioactive isotope of hydrogen (hydrogen-3 or tritium)

in the wine is 0.34 times that found in freshly bottled wines. If the half-life of tritium is 12.3 years, calculate the time elapsed since the wine was bottled. This is a first order decay.

Answer:

19 years

Explanation:

Tritium undergoes a first-order decay represented by the following relation.

ln(\frac{[H]_{t}}{[H]_{0}} )=-k.t

where,

[H]t denotes the tritium concentration at a specific time t

[[H]₀ signifies the initial concentration of tritium

k represents the rate constant

Knowing the half-life (t1/2), we can compute the rate constant.

k=\frac{ln2}{t_{1/2}} =\frac{ln2}{12.3y} =0.0564y^{-1}

ln(\frac{[H]_{t}}{[H]_{0}} )=-k.t\\ln(\frac{0.34[H]_{0}}{[H]_{0}} )=-(0.0564y^{-1}).t\\t=19y

alisha [2963]

2C3H6 (g) + 2NH3 (g) + 3O2 (G) -> 2C3H3N (g) + 6H2O (g)

To begin, this isn't really a chemistry forum, but anyway.

This represents a limiting reagent scenario.

Set it up as a Dimensional Analysis issue.

Begin with your desired outcome.

Your goal is to find the mass of acrylonitrile (C3H3N)

so you should initiate with that (I'll abbreviate Acrylonitrile as ACL for convenience)

(g) = (53 g of ACL/1mol ACL) (2 mols ACL/2 mol C3H6)/ (1mol C3H6/42 grams) (15.0 grams)

If you calculate that, you will find that 15 grams of C3H6 yields 18.9 grams of acrylonitrile produced.

Utilize the same approach for the remaining two reactants.

So, I figured it out, and for

oxygen, I calculated 11.04 grams

and for ammonia, I calculated 15.29 grams

This means that the maximum possible production is 11.04 grams, since to create any additional amount, more O2 would be necessary, but with only 10 grams available, that's the upper limit for this reaction.

The other two reactants are in excess.

castortr0y [3046]

Every unicellular organism prospers by executing metabolic activities.

Metabolic activities encompass the set of chemical reactions essential for sustaining life.

Explanation:

Different metabolic pathways maintain an organism's viability. Various metabolic activities occur in all living organisms.

These include processes like cellular respiration, reproduction, excretion, and digestion. Each living cell engages in these activities to survive.

Organisms acquire the energy necessary for these activities through food consumption.

A stock solution of Cu2+(aq) was prepared by placing 0.8875 g of solid Cu(NO3)2∙2.5 H2O in a 100.0-mL volumetric flask and dilut
Anarel [2989]

Answer:

3.816 × 10⁻³ M

Explanation:

A stock solution of Cu²⁺(aq) is made by dissolving 0.8875 g of solid Cu(NO₃)₂∙2.5H₂O in a 100.0-mL volumetric flask, and then brought up to volume with water. What is the molarity (in M) of Cu²⁺(aq) in this stock solution?

We can derive the following relations:

  • The molar mass of Cu(NO₃)₂∙2.5H₂O is 232.59 g/mol.
  • Each mole of Cu(NO₃)₂∙2.5H₂O yields one mole of Cu²⁺.

The moles of Cu²⁺ present in 0.8875 g of Cu(NO₃)₂∙2.5H₂O are:

0.8875gCu(NO_{3})_{2}.2.5H_{2}O\times \frac{1molCu(NO_{3})_{2}.2.5H_{2}O}{232.59gCu(NO_{3})_{2}.2.5H_{2}O} \times \frac{1molCu^{2+} }{1molCu(NO_{3})_{2}.2.5H_{2}O} =3.816\times10^{-3} molCu^{2+}

The molarity of Cu²⁺ is:

\frac{3.816\times10^{-3} mol}{100.0 \times10^{-3}L} =3.816\times10^{-2}M

alisha [2963]

Answer:

To break a single I-I bond, the wavelength of light required is 7.92 × 10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

The energy needed to break one mole of iodine-iodine single bonds is 151 KJ

The energy necessary to rupture one iodine-iodine bond is calculated as (151 KJ/mol) / 6.02 × 10²³/mol = 2.51 × 10⁻²² KJ

or

2.51 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Formula:

E = hc / λ    

Where h is Planck's constant    = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ js

c is the speed of light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength

Solution:

E = hc / λ  

λ   = hc / E

λ   =  (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ js × 3 × 10⁸ m/s ) / 2.51 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

λ   = 19.878 × 10⁻²⁶ j.m / 2.51 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

λ   = 7.92 × 10⁻⁷ m
