You have 400 kg of a radioactive substance with a short half-life of 1000 years. how much will be left after these times?
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Half-life of a radioactive substance is the time required to reduce the amount of substance to half of its initial amount. 

In present case, half-life is material is given as 1000 years and initial amount of material is given as 400 kg
 
Answer 1) Since, half-life of radio-active substance is 1000 years, therefore after 1st half life, amount of the material will be left to half the initial amount. Hence, amount of substance left after 1000 years = 400/2 = 200 kg.

Answer 2) For 2000 years, radioactive material has crossed 2 times the half life. Therefore ,  amount of the material will be left to 1/4 the initial amount. Hence, amount of substance left after 2000 years = 400/4 = 100 kg.

Answer 3) 
 For 4000 years, radioactive material has crossed 4 times the half life. Therefore , amount of the material will be left to 1/16 the initial amount. Hence, amount of substance left after 4000 years = 400/16 = 25 kg.

Calculate the number of moles in a 14.5 gram sample of C4H10.
cricket20 [7]
Moles= mass divided by molar mass
Molar mass= 12.01(4) + 1.01(10)
                 = 58.14g/mol

Moles=14.5g / 58.14g/mol
         =0.249

Therefore there are approx 0.249 moles in a 14.5g sample of C4H10

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

It is always less than the theoretical yield

Explanation:

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

2H₂ + O₂       →     2H₂O

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

H₂ + O₂       →     H₂O

Balance chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂       →     2H₂O

Step 1:

H₂ + O₂       →     H₂O

Left hand side                     Right hand side

H = 2                                    H = 2

O = 2                                    O = 1

Step 2:

H₂ + O₂       →     2H₂O

Left hand side                     Right hand side

H = 2                                    H = 4

O = 2                                    O = 2

Step 3:

2H₂ + O₂       →     2H₂O

Left hand side                     Right hand side

H = 4                                    H = 4

O = 2                                    O = 2
