Until roughly 1970, tritium (3H), a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, was a component of fluorescent watch dials and hands. For 3H, t1/2 = 12.3 yr. Assume you have such a watch. If a minimum of 12.0% of the original tritium is needed to read the dial in dark places, for how many years could you read the time at night? Assume first-order kinetics.

Enter your answer in the provided box. Calculate the amount of energy (in kJ) necessary to convert 557 g of liquid water from 0°C to water vapor at 192°C. The molar heat of vaporization (Hvap) of water is 40.79 kJ/mol. The specific heat for water is 4.184 J/g °C, and for steam is 1.99 J/g ·°C. (Assume that the specific heat values do not change over the range of temperatures in the problem. |

I make threesaturated solutions of AgCl (Ksp= 1.8•10-10). The first is in pure water, the second is in 0.01 M KNO3, and the third is in 0.01 M NaCl. I measure the concentration of Ag+in each solution. Which has the highest Ag+concentration? Which has the lowestAg+ concentration? Please explain why there are differences in concentrations between the solution with the highest and lowest concentrations. I’m not asking for the actual concentration, so you don’t need to do any math.highest: _________________________________lowest: _________________________________why:

1. A solution was prepared by mixing 6.00 mL of 1.00M NaOH with 40.00 mL of 0.800M weak acid and diluting to a total volume of 100.0 mL. The pH value of this solution was measured to be 3.12. Calculate the equilibrium hydrogen ion concentration of this solution using the pH value.
2. For the solution from question 1, calculate the number of moles of weak acid and calculate the number of moles of hydroxide ion that were originally present.
3. Calculate the number of moles of weak acid and calculate the number of moles of conjugate base present at equilibrium.
4. Calculate the concentrations of weak acid and conjugate base present at equilibrium.
5. Calculate the value of Ka for the unknown weak acid.

Out of idle speculation, you drop a metal ball from a height of 2 yards onto a sample cute from a plastic sheet. (You are an old-fashioned engineer and can have no truck with units such as meters.) You observe that the plastic sheet punctures in a ductile fashion, leaving a hole roughly the size of the ball. You find that if the same metal ball is dropped onto another sample of the same plastic sheet from a height of 4 yards, the sample shatters in a brittle manner. How would you explain these observations?
