Select the correct answer from the drop-down menu. a scientist digs up sample of arctic ice that is 458,000 years old. he takes

it to his lab and finds that it contains 1.675 grams of krypton-81. if the half-life of krypton-81 is 229,000 years, how much krypton-81 was present when the ice first formed? use the formula n = n0 . the ice originally contained grams of krypton 81.

The original mass of krypton 81 that is present in the ice is 6.70 grams.

<h3>How do we calculate original mass?</h3>

Original mass of any substance will be calculated as below for the decomposition reaction is:

N = N₀(1/2)ⁿ, where

N = remaining mass of krypton-81 = 1.675g

N₀ = original mass of krypton-81 = ?

n will be calculated as:
n = T/t, where

T = total time period = 458,000 years

t = half life time = 229,000 years

n = 458,000/229,000 = 2

Now putting all these values on the above equation, we get

N₀ = 1.675 / (1/2)²

N₀ = 6.70 g

Hence required mass is 6.70 g.

What is the mass of sodium (Na) in 50 grams of table salt (NaCl)? Show your work.
Margaret [11]

Answer:

19 g

Explanation:

Data Given:

Sodium Chloride (table salt) = 50 g

Amount of sodium (Na) = ?

Solution:

Molecular weight calculation:

NaCl = 23 + 35.5

NaCl = 58.5 g/mol

Mass contributed by Sodium = 23 g

calculate the mole percent composition of sodium (Na) in sodium Chloride.

Since the percentage of compound is 100

So,

Percent of sodium (Na) = 23 / 58.5 x 100

Percent of sodium (Na) = 39.3 %

It means that for ever gram of sodium chloride there is 0.393 g of Na is present.

So,

for the 50 grams of table salt (NaCl) the mass of Na will be

mass of sodium (Na) = 0.393 x 50 g

mass of sodium (Na) = 19 g

What are equation for the chemical change that produces water from two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule. And the react
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

h2+O ---> H2O

reactants: H2 & O

products: H2O

Explanation:

The simple reaction that produces a water molecule from H2 and O would be the one written above, even though there are 2 hydrogen molecules, they will form an H2 molecule rather than 2 individual H molecules (almost never seen) the reactants would be your hydrogen and oxygen molecules individually before they bond to form a molecule of water (H2O) which is the product

50 POINTS!!!!!!!

We could reduce soil erosion and recycle phosphorus from farm and human waste so that we could help make food production sustainable and prevent algae blooms. We can also do land reclamation as well to help solve this problem. With the land, we would have to design a system to where the land could be functional again in order to plant crops, trees, also to help the wildlife that was once a part of the island. Therefore if the design is done before the mining then afterward we can do the reclamation of the land which would help the people to be able to function after the mining. It would also help the future generations that come along after the previous generations. Everyone must work together in the process in order for everyone to survive. If all this is done then the people of the island would not have to import their food. The reclamation process is the most important thing that has to be designed first whether it is land, soil, water, lakes, and clay then after plant trees, vegetation, and other forms of plants to help replenish the land after the mining is done.

I hope I helped :3
