The time taken for the radioactive sample to decay is 1.8 s.

<h3>What is the half life?</h3>

The half life is the time taken for only half of the number of the radioactive isotopes to remain. Now we have;

No = 65.6 micrograms

N = 8.20 micrograms

t1/2 = 0.600 seconds

t = ?

Hence;

N/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

8.20/ 65.6  = (1/2)^t/0.600

0.125 =  (1/2)^t/0.600

1/8 =  (1/2)^t/0.600

(1/2)^3 =  (1/2)^t/0.600

3 = t/0.600

t = 3 * 0.600

t = 1.8 s

It will take less 1.8 seconds for the mass of a sample of magnesium-20 to decay from 65.6 micrograms to 8.20 micrograms.

<h3>What is Half-Life of radioactive a radioactive substance?</h3>

The half-life of a radioactive element is the time for half the amount of a sample of the substance to decay.

After 0.6 seconds 31.25 remains

After 1.2 seconds, 15.625 remains

After 1.8 seconds, 7.9 micrograms remains.

In conclusion, it will take less 1.8 seconds for the sample to decay to 8.20 micrograms.

How do you calculate the number of neutrons???? please help
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons. The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The number of neutrons is equal to the difference between the mass number of the atom (M) and the atomic number (Z).

Suppose you are provided with a 30.86 g sample of potassium chlorate to perform this experiment. What is the mass of oxygen you
oee [108]

Answer:

The mass of oxygen is 12.10 g.

Explanation:

The decomposition reaction of potassium chlorate is the following:

2KClO₃(s) → 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)

We need to find the number of moles of KClO₃:

\eta_{KClO_{3}} = \frac{m}{M}

Where:

m: is the mass = 30.86 g

M: is the molar mass = 122.55 g/mol

\eta_{KClO_{3}} = \frac{30.86 g}{122.55 g/mol} = 0.252 moles                                      

Now, we can find the number of moles of O₂ knowing that the ratio between KClO₃ and O₂ is 2:3

\eta_{O_{2}} = \frac{3}{2}*0.252 moles = 0.378 moles

Finally, the mass of O₂ is:

m = 0.378 moles*32 g/mol = 12.10 g

Therefore, the mass of oxygen is 12.10 g.

I hope it helps you!

Type the correct answer in the box.
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

a= <em>In scientific notation</em>

6.96000×10⁵ Km

b =<em>In  expanded notation</em>

0.00019 mm

Explanation:

Given data:

Radius of sun = 696000 Km

size of bacterial cell = 1.9 ×10⁻⁴ mm

Radius of sun in scientific notation = ?

Size of bacterial cell in expanded notation = ?

Solution:

Scientific notation is the way to express the large value in short form.

The number in scientific notation have two parts.

. The digits (decimal point will place after first digit)

× 10 ( the power which put the decimal point where it should be)

for example the number 6324.4 in scientific notation will be written as = 6.3244 × 10³

Radius of sun:

696000 Km

<em>In scientific notation</em>

6.96000 × 10⁵ Km

The expanded notation is standard notation of writing the numerical values which is normal way. The numbers are written as they are, without the power of 10.

Size of bacterial cell:

1.9 ×10⁻⁴ mm

<em>In  expanded notation</em>

1.9/ 10000 = 0.00019 mm
