The mass of plutonium that will remain after 1000 years if the initial amount is 5 g when the half life of plutonium-239 (239pu, pu-239) is 24,100 years is 2.5 g

The equation is Mr=Mi(1/2)^n

where n is the number of half-lives

Mr is the mass remaining after n half lives

Mi is the initial mass of the sample

To find n, the number of half-lives, divide the total time 1000 by the time of the half-life(24,100)

n=1000/24100=0.0414

So Mr=5x(1/2)^1=2.5 g

The mass remaining is 2.5 g

  • The half life is the time in which the concentration of a substance decreases to half of the initial value.

What is the correct balanced equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous ammonium chloride reacts with aqueous barium nit
Setler [38]

Answer:

2NH_{4}Cl + Ba(NO_{3} )_{2} ⇒  BaCl_{2} + 2NH_{4}NO_{3}

Explanation:

In balancing a chemical equation we make sure the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side of the equation equals that on the product side

NH_{4}Cl + Ba(NO_{3} )_{2} ⇒  BaCl_{2} + NH_{4}NO_{3}

The equation above represents an unbalanced equation of the reaction of aqueous ammonium chloride  with aqueous barium nitrate .we can balance this equation by adding the right coefficients to reactants and product.

2NH_{4}Cl + Ba(NO_{3} )_{2} ⇒  BaCl_{2} + 2NH_{4}NO_{3}

Convert 5.28 x 1019 molecules of C6H1206 to grams.
nlexa [21]

Answer:

m=0.0158g

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, it is possible to comprehend these mass-particles problems by means of the concept of mole, molar mass and the Avogadro's number because one mole of any substance has 6.022x10²³ particles and have a mass equal to the molar mass.

In such a way, for C₆H₁₂O₆, whose molar mass is about 180.16 g/mol, the referred mass would be:

m=5.28x10^{19}molecules*\frac{1mol}{6.022x10^{23}molecules}*\frac{180.16g}{1mol}\\\\m=0.0158g

Best regards!
