The quantity of substance remains after 850 years is 8.98g if the half life of radioactive radium is 1,599 years.

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

The time taken by substance to reduce to its half of its initial concentration is called half life period.

We will use the half- life equation N(t)

N e^{(-0.693t) /t½}

Where,

N is the initial sample

t½ is the half life time period of the substance

t2 is the time in years.

N(t) is the reminder quantity after t years .

Given

N = 13g

t = 350 years

t½ = 1599 years

By substituting all the value, we get

N(t) = 13e^(0.693 × 50) / (1599)

= 13e^(- 0.368386)

= 13 × 0.691

= 8.98

Thus, we calculated that the quantity of substance remains after 850 years is 8.98g if the half life of radioactive radium is 1,599 years.

How do you determine valence electrons of a metal? A non Metal?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Check the electronic configuration of elements.

Explanation:

▪Valence electrons are the elwctrons present in the outermost shell of any element.

For example,

Electronic Configuration of Sodium = 2,8,1

Here , Sodium has 1 valence electrons.

▪Valency of an element is the total no. of electrons to be gained/losed in order to achieve duplet/octate state.

For example,

Electronic configuration of Sodium = 2,8,1

Sodium can achieve octate state either by losing 1 electron or gaining 7 electrons. But losing 1 electron is eay than gaining 7 electrons. So Valency of Sodium = +1

☆Metals have 1 or 2 or 3 valence electrons.

☆Non metals have 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 valence electrons.

☆Noble gases tend to stay in duplet/octate state i.e they have 2 or 8 valence electrons.

Adding hydrogen atoms to an unsaturated fatty acid will make it __________.
xxMikexx [17]

The answer is (a.) more solid

 

Adding hydrogen atoms to an unsaturated fatty acid will make it more solid. This process is called hydrogenation. In this process, hydrogen is added to an unsaturated fatty acid to make it more saturated and thereby more solid at a room temperature.

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

For the first question its C, Gas

For the second one table

Explanation:

The faster particles move, the more kinetic energy they have. Within a given substance, such as water, particles in the solid state have the least amount of kinetic energy. Particles in the liquid state move faster than particles in the solid state. Therefore, they have more kinetic energy.
