Making repeated separations of the various substances in the pitchblende, Marie and Pierre used the Curie electrometer to identify the most radioactive fractions. They thus discovered that two fractions, one containing mostly bismuth and the other containing mostly barium, were strongly radioactive.

<h3>What was surprising about pitchblende?</h3>

Since it was no longer appropriate to call them “uranic rays,” Marie proposed a new name: “radioactivity.”

Even more surprising, Marie next found that a uranium ore called pitchblende contained two powerfully radioactive new elements: polonium, which she named for her native Poland, and radium.

<h3>Why is radium more radioactive than uranium?</h3>

It is 2.7 million times more radioactive than the same molar amount of natural uranium (mostly uranium-238), due to its proportionally shorter half-life.

Iron (III) oxide reacts with solid carbon in the followed reaction: 2Fe2O3(s) + 3C(s) → 4Fe(s) + 3CO2(g) What mass of Fe2O3 is n
Veseljchak [2.6K]

953.6 g of iron (III) oxide (Fe₂O₃)

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

2 Fe₂O₃ (s) + 3 C (s) → 4 Fe (s) + 3 CO₂ (g)

We calculate the number of moles of CO₂ by using the following formula:

pressure × volume = number of moles × gas constant × temperature

number of moles = (pressure × volume) / (gas constant × temperature)

number of moles of CO₂ = (2.1 × 100) / (0.082 × 300)

number of moles of CO₂ = 8.54 moles

Taking in account the chemical reaction we devise the following reasoning:

if         2 mole of Fe₂O₃ produces 3 mole of CO₂

then   X moles of Fe₂O₃ produces 8.54 mole of CO₂

X = (2 × 8.54) / 3 = 5.69 moles of Fe₂O₃

number of moles = mass / molar weight

mass =  number of moles × molar weight

mass of Fe₂O₃ = 5.69 × 160 = 953.6 g

What is the scientific notation of 36000x10 ex.10?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

3.6 times 10^4

Explanation:

Scientific notation is between 1-9. So, we move 36000 to 4 decimal places. SO it would be 3.6 times 10^4. Scientific Notation always has the base of 10 . Enjoy :)
