Chapter 20, Problem 20.19QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: factors leads to nuclear decay should be discussed.

Concept Introduction:

  • Radio active life-it refers to the amount of time taken by completion of half of its original isotope to decay. The rate of decay is a fixed rate called half-life.
  • Half-life used in carbon dating-technique for the age calculation of dead wood fossil, monument old tree etc.
  • The half-life period s are determined by considering carbon dating technique.
  • Carbon dating uses the half-life of carbon-14 to find the approximate age of an object. It’s may be 40.000 year old or younger.

    Radioactive isotope: An atom in a chemical compound is replaced by another atom, of the same chemical element. This is the principle behind the radioactive tracers.

    Titanium is the example of radioactive isotope.

The power of the technique of radioactive decay is much greater than the chemical reaction.

To determine: factors enhance to nuclear decay is explained

Q2. Consider the hydrogenation of ethylene C2H4 + H2 = C2H6 The heats of combustion and molar entropies for the three gases at 298 K are given by: C2H4 C2H6 H2 AH comb/kJ mol‍¹ -1395 -1550 -243 Sº / J K¹ mol-1 220.7 230.4 131.1 The average heat capacity change, ACP, for the reaction over the temperature range 298-1000 K is 10.9 J K¹ mol¹. Using these data, determine: (a) the standard enthalpy change at 800 K (b) the standard entropy change at 800 K (c) the equilibrium constant at 800 K.
