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 many kilograms of water must evaporate from 8kg of a 25% salt solution to produce 40% salt solution?
Lena [83]

Answer: The kilograms of water must evaporate from 8kg of a 25% salt solution to produce 40% salt solution is 3 kg.

Explanation:

According to the ratio and proportion:

C_1m_1=C_2m_2

where,

C_1 = concentration of ist solution = 25%

m_1 = mass of ist solution = 8 kg

C_2 = concentration of second solution = 40%

m_2 = mass of second solution = ? kg

25\times 8=40\times m_2

m_2=5kg

Thus the final solution must have a mass of 5 kg , i.e (8-5)= 3 kg of mass must be evaporated.

Therefore, the mass that must be evaporated from 8kg of a 25% salt solution to produce 40% salt solution is 3 kg.

If 1. 3618 moles of AsF3 are allowed to react with 1. 0000 mole of C2Cl6, what would be the theoretical yield of AsCl3, in moles
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

AsF3:C2CI6

4:3

1.3618 moles: 1.02135 moles(1.3618÷4×3)

C2CI6 is the limting reagent

So the number of moles for AsCI3 is 0.817 moles( number of moles of the limting reagant) ÷3 ×4 (according to ratio by balancing chemical equation)=1.09 moles(3 s.f.)

or

Balanced equation

4AsF3 + 3C2Cl6 → 4AsCl3 + 3C2Cl2F4

Use stoichiometry to calculate the moles of AsCl3 that can be produced by each reactant.

Multiply the moles of each reactant by the mole ratio between it and AsCl3 in the balanced equation, so that the moles of the reactant cancel, leaving moles of AsCl3.
