25%

Explanation:

In a half life of a radioactive isotope is 1 day,it means it loses its half mass each day

We a formula for N half life

$\sf { \frac{1}{2} }^{n}$

where n is the number of days

Here the isotope is kept for 2 days

so it's left over mass will be

$\sf { (\frac{1}{2}) }^{2} \\ \\ \\ \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ \sf \frac{1}{4}$

It's left over mass 1/4th of the original mass

Now, we need to find it's percentage by multiplying with 100

$\sf \frac{1}{4} \times 100 \%\\ \\ \sf \cancel\frac{100}{4} \% \\ \\ \sf 25\%$

So 25% mass will be left after 2 day of half life radioactive isotope.

25% because the half life of 100 is 50 and the half life of 50 is 25

If a plant produces 8.46 mol C6H12O6, how many moles of H2O are needed?

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

50.76 mol H2O.

Explanation:

The photosynthesis follows the equation:

6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2

This means that 6 mol of H2O are needed to obtain 1 mol of C6H12O6 (see the numbers that precedes every molecule to know how many mols are in game).

So we can say that:

1 mol C6H12O6 --------- 6 mol H2O

8.46 mol C6H12O6 -----x= 8.46 x 6 : 1 = 50.76 mol H20

When a hydrogen atom makes the transition from the second excited state to the ground state (at -13.6 eV) the energy of the phot

viktelen [127]

Answer : The energy of the photon emitted is, -12.1 eV

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the $'n^{th}'$ orbit of hydrogen atom.

Formula used :

$E_n=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{n^2}ev$

where,

$E_n$ = energy of $n^{th}$ orbit

n = number of orbit

Z = atomic number of hydrogen atom = 1

Energy of n = 1 in an hydrogen atom:

$E_1=-13.6\times \frac{1^2}{1^2}eV=-13.6eV$

Energy of n = 2 in an hydrogen atom:

$E_3=-13.6\times \frac{1^2}{3^2}eV=-1.51eV$

Energy change transition from n = 1 to n = 3 occurs.

Let energy change be E.

$E=E_-E_3=(-13.6eV)-(-1.51eV)=-12.1eV$

The negative sign indicates that energy of the photon emitted.

Thus, the energy of the photon emitted is, -12.1 eV

Calculate how many grams of oxygen form when 2.72 g of KCIOg reacts completely given the

34kurt

1.06g

Please refer to the image attached.

You first find the number of moles (n) for KClO3 as you have been given the mass. So n = mass/Mr gives you the moles that is 0.022 mol

Next you use the ratio 2:3 as per the equation where it's 2KClO3 ---> 3O2 so you just cross multiply and get the moles for oxygen.

Now that you know the number of moles for oxygen, you can use the same moles equation that you used earlier to find the mass. mass=n×Mr and so you get the answer as 1.06g of oxygen.
