SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving two specific chemistry exam questions related to electrolysis and radioactive decay. The first question involves calculating the volume of gases generated in an electrolytic cell with a current of 3.97 A over 3.66 hours, using the constants R = 8.314 kPa L mol-1K-1 and F = 96480 C mol-1. The second question pertains to Technetium-99, where the user needs to determine the number of disintegrations from 60.46 mg of the isotope with a half-life of 6.0 hours, requiring an answer in scientific notation to three significant figures.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electrolysis and Faraday's laws
  • Knowledge of radioactive decay and half-life calculations
  • Familiarity with the ideal gas law and its application in chemistry
  • Ability to perform calculations involving significant figures and scientific notation
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the principles of electrolysis and Faraday's laws of electrolysis
  • Learn about radioactive decay, including half-life and disintegration calculations
  • Review the ideal gas law and its application in calculating gas volumes
  • Practice problems involving significant figures and scientific notation in chemistry
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students preparing for exams, educators looking for problem-solving strategies, and anyone interested in mastering electrolysis and radioactive decay concepts.

hi guys
these were some questions i got wrong in a an exam, i was unable to attend the lecture following the exam so i am not sure how to do these two questions that i got wrong i have working, although it is to complicated to put on htis site if anyone can ghet an answer, that would be great then i might know were i went wrong in my working out. cheers

Question 12

A current of 3.97 A is passed through an electrolytic cell containing a dilute sulfuric acid solution for 3.66 hours. Calculate the total volume of gases (in L) generated at 0oC and 100 kPa.
Do not use scientific notation for your answer
R = 8.314 kPa L mol-1K-1 and F = 96480 C mol-1





Question 13 (1.0 points)

Technetium-99( atomic mass 98.9 daltons) is used for bone scans. It has a half-life of 6.0 hours. How many disintegrations can you expect from 60.46 mg technetium-99 in 1 second? (Answer to 3 significant figures and use form eg. 1.10e15 for 1.10 x 1015)

The working is not too complicated to write down. If you think it is, then say what steps you took, and what final answer you got.

We can not respond until we see some work from you.
