The amount of the 240 g sample of the radioisotope that will remain after 525 billion years is 7.5 g

<h3>How to the number of half-lives that has elapsed</h3>
  • Half-life (t½) = 105 billion years
  • Time (t) = 525 billion years
  • Number of half-lives (n) = ?

n = t / t½

n = 525 / 105

n = 5

<h3>How to determine the amount remaining</h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 240 g
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 5
  • Amount remaining (N) = ?

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

N = 240 / 2⁵

N = 240 / 32

N = 7.5 g

How does the arrangement of particles determine the physical properties of different states of matter?​
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Matter may exist in three phases; solid, liquid and gas. The state in which matter exists depends on the extent of intermolecular forces operating in the substance.

In solid particles, the molecules that compose the solid are close together because the molecules of a solid do not move from place to place but they continue to vibrate about their fixed position.

For liquids, the molecules that compose a liquid are in random motion but are less energetic than molecules of a gas.

In gases, the molecules are not held together at all. The molecules of a gas have the highest degree of freedom. They move from one point another at a high velocity.

Hence, the order of increasing degree of movement of the particles in different states of matter = solids<liquids< gases.

Solids have well arranged particles, the molecules of a liquid are a little more disorderly than liquid particles while gas particles are the most disorderly of all the states of matter.

Calcium chloride contains calcium and chloride ions. Write the ground-state electron configuration for the calcium ion.
Drupady [299]

Answer:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

Explanation:

Calcium is the 20th element. It has 20 electrons in it's neutral state. The electronic configuration is given as;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2

However in the compound; calcium chloride, it does not exist in it's neutral state.

CaCl2 --> Ca2+   +   Cl-

In Ca2+ state, it has lost two electrons, The total number of electrons becomes; 20 - 2 = 18 electrons.

The electronic configuration is given as;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

NaCl has a Hfus = 30.2 kJ/mol. What is the mass of a sample of NaCl that needs 732.6 kJ of heat to melt completely? 24.3 g 82.7
alina1380 [7]
Hello.

The answer is  1417.7

Its 1417.7 grams becasue you have  to convert the moles to grams.


<span /><span><span>A mole is the amount of pure substance containing the same number of chemical units as there are atoms in exactly 12 grams of carbon-12 (i.e., 6.023 X 1023).

</span><span>a coherent, typically large body of matter with no definite shape.

Have a nice day</span></span>
