\huge\boxed{♔︎Answer♔︎}

60g after 3 hours, 30g after 6 hours and 15g after 9 hours

Explanation:

Weight of the radioactive sample = 120g

half life time period = 3 hours

(a) The weight of sample after 3 hours

\textsf{ No. of half lives} =  \sf  \cancel\frac{3}{3}  = 1

The fraction of sample left

\sf  { \frac{1}{2} }^{1}  =  \frac{1}{2}

Mass of the sample left

\sf \frac{1}{2}  \times 120 =   \cancel\frac{120}{2}  = 60g

<u>6</u><u>0</u><u>g</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>sample</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>left</u><u> </u><u>after</u><u> </u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>hours</u>

(b) The weight of sample after 6 hours

\textsf{ No. of half lives} =  \sf   \cancel\frac{6}{3}  = 2

The fraction of the sample left

\sf   { \frac{1}{2} }^{2}  =  \frac{1}{2}  \times  \frac{1}{2}  =  \frac{1}{4}

Mass of the sample left

\sf \frac{1}{4}  \times 120 =   \cancel\frac{120}{4}  = 30g

<u>3</u><u>0</u><u>g</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>sample</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>left</u><u> </u><u>after</u><u> </u><u>6</u><u> </u><u>hours</u>

(c) The weight of sample after 9 hours

\textsf {No. of half lives} =  \sf   \cancel\frac{9}{3}  = 3

The fraction of sample left

\sf { \frac{1}{2} }^{3}  =  \frac{1}{2}  \times  \frac{1}{2}  \times  \frac{1}{2} =  \frac{1}{8}

Mass of sample left

\sf  \frac{1}{8}  \times 120 =  \cancel \frac{120}{8}  = 15g

<u>1</u><u>5</u><u>g</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>sample</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>left</u><u> </u><u>after</u><u> </u><u>9</u><u> </u><u>hours</u><u>.</u>

HELP Consider this equation...
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

it is not correct I have an answer for ''why''

Explanation:

You need to balance it

s= 2

0=2

S+30•2 --------> SO•3

2 2 2 2

S +3O•2-------->SO•2......MULTIPLY

2 4 2 4......LCM IS 4

2 1 2 1....DIVIDE BY 4

SO NOW WE GOT THE BALANCE NO. WE CAN PUT IT IN THE EQUATIONS.

2S+3O•2 -----> 2SO•3

now you can check the both sides its balances the correct answer is this

What mass of solid that has a molar mass of 46.0 g/mol should be added to 150.0 g of benzene to raise the boiling point of benze
enyata [817]

Answer : 17.12 g

Explanation:\Delta T =k_b\times m

\Delta T = elevation in boiling point

k_b = boiling point elevation constant

m= molality

molality=\frac{mass of solute}{molecular mass of solute\times weight of the solvent in kg}

given \Delta T=6.28^{\circ}C

Molar mass of solute = 46.0 gmol^{-1}

Weight of the solvent = 150.0 g = 0.15 kg

Putting in the values

molality=\frac{x}{46gmol^{-1}\times0.15kg}

6.28 =2.53^{\circ}Ckgmol^{-1}\frac{x}{46gmol^{-1}\times 0.15kg}

x = 17.12 g

If a gold bar is 16,000 g mass and 800 cm^3 volume what is the density?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 20 g/cm³</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass = 16,000 g

volume = 800 cm³

We have

density =  \frac{16000}{800}  =  \frac{160}{8}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>20 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you

A mixture of carbon dioxide and helium gases is maintained in a 7.91 L flask at a pressure of 1.42 atm and a temperature of 33 °
Crank

Answer:

The gas mixture contains 1.038 grams of helium

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Volume of the flask = 7.91 L

Total Pressure = 1.42 atm

Temperature = 33 °C

Mass of CO2 = 8.25 grams

Molar mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Molar mass of He = 4 g/mol

<u>Step 2</u>: Calculate total number moles of gas

p*V = n*R*T

⇒ p = the pressure = 1.42 atm

⇒ V = the volume = 7.91 L

⇒ n= the number of moles = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L* atm/K*mol

⇒ T = the temperature = 33 °C = 306 Kelvin

n = (p*V)/(R*T)

n = (1.42*7.91)/(0.08206 * 306)

n = 0.447 moles

<u>Step 3</u>: Calculate moles of CO2

Moles CO2 = mass CO2 / Molar mass CO2

Moles CO2 = 8.25 grams / 44.01 g/mol

Moles CO2 = 0.1875 moles

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate moles of Helium

Moles Helium = total moles of gas - moles of CO2

Moles Helium = 0.447 - 0.1875 = 0.2595 moles of helium

<u>Step 5: </u> Calculate mass of helium

Mass of helium = moles of helium * molar mass of helium

Mass of helium = 0.2595 moles * 4 g/mol

Mass of helium = 1.038 grams

The gas mixture contains 1.038 grams of helium
