Cesium-137 has a half life of 30.0 years. If initially there are 8.0 kg of cesium-137 present in a sample, how many kg will rema

Mass after 60 years:

2 kg of cesium-137 will remain after 60.0 years.

What is Half-life?

The duration needed for a quantity to decrease to half of its initial value is known as the half-life.

Given:

N0 = is the initial amount of cesium-137 = 8.0 Kg

N = is the amount remaining after a time =  Unknown

t =  Duration of cesium-137 decay in 8.0 Kg = 60 years

t1/2 = half-life of cesium-137 = 30.0 years

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

After putting the value:

N/8= (1/2)^60/30

N/8= (1/2)^2

N/8= 1/4

4N= 8

N= 8/4

N= 2 Kg

As a result, 2 Kg of cesium-137 will be present after 60 years.

Gasoline has a density of 0.7197 grams per milliliter. Calculate the mass, in grams, of a sample of gasoline with a volume of 48
barxatty [35]

Answer:

34.9103 or 34.9 g

Explanation:

Remember Density is a broken heart: m/v.

In this scenario (Let x = # of grams in the sample of gasoline),

D = 0.7198 g/mL = x g / 48.5 mL

So,

(0.7198 g/mL) * (48.5 mL) = x g

x g = 34.9103 = 34.9 g (Accounting for Significant Figures)

Which is the correct net ionic equation for the reaction of aqueous ammonia with nitric acid? Which is the correct net ionic equ
rewona [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is

e. NH3(aq) + H+(aq) --> NH4+(aq)

Explanation:

To solve this, we write out the indidual ionization reation for aqueous ammonia and nitric acid thus

For aqueous ammonia we have

NH₃(aq) + H₂O(l) ↔ NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Aqueous ammonia is a weak base and therefore undergoes partial ionization hence the reversible reaction sign

As the level of ionization will not be more than 5% OH⁻ cannot represebt the weak base

For nitric acid we have

HNO₃(aq) → H⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)

a strong acid like nitric acid undergoes conplete ionization in the solution

The total equation is NH₃(aq) + HNO₃(aq) → NH₄NO₃(aq)

The sum of the ionic equation is

NH₃(aq) + H⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) → NH₄⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)

The ionic equation is

NH₃(aq) + H⁺(aq) →  NH₄⁺(aq)
