AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on two exam questions related to chemistry concepts involving electrolytic cells and radioactive decay. For Question 12, the user needs to calculate the total volume of gases produced when a current of 3.97 A is passed through a dilute sulfuric acid solution for 3.66 hours, using the ideal gas law and Faraday's laws of electrolysis. The constants provided are R = 8.314 kPa L mol-1K-1 and F = 96480 C mol-1. For Question 13, the user is tasked with determining the number of disintegrations per second from 60.46 mg of technetium-99, which has a half-life of 6.0 hours. The answer should be expressed to three significant figures. The forum participants emphasize the importance of showing working steps to facilitate assistance.

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.
 
It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
