Answer:

125000

Explanation:

Because it is halved and halved again.

Half life - when half of the radioactive substance has become stable

500,000/2 = 250,000 remaining after the first half life

250,000/2 = 125,000 remaining after the second


Or alternatively 1/4 x 500,000 = 125,000

How many moles are in 281 g of Ca(OH)2?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

3.79 moles

Explanation:

To convert moles to gams of a substance we need to find the molar mass of the substance. For Ca(OH)₂ th molar mass is:

1Ca = 40.08g/mol

2O = 2*16g/mol = 32g/mol

2H = 2*1.01g/mol = 2.02g/mol

The molar mass is:

40.08g/mol + 32g/mol + 2.02g/mol = <em>74.1g/mol</em>

<em />

And moles are:

281g * (1mol / 74.1g) =

<h3>3.79 moles</h3>

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
