The answer is no.(4)  They frequently have long half-lives and remain radioactive for extended periods of time

For example, half life of Uranium (U) varies from 25 thousand years to 4.5 billion years

A NaOH solution is standardized using the monoprotic primary standard potassium hydrogen phthalate, KHP (204.22 g/mol.) If 0.698
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

0.07789 M is the sodium hydroxide concentration.

Explanation:

Mass of potassium hydrogen phthalate = 0.6986 g

Molar mass of potassium hydrogen phthalate = 204.22 g/mol

Moles of  potassium hydrogen phthalate = \frac{0.6986 g}{204.22 g/mol}=0.003421 mol

NaOH+KHP\rightarrow NaKP+H_2O

According to reaction , 1 mole og KHp reactswith 1 mole of NaOH , then 0.003421 moles of KHp will react with :

\frac{1}{1}\times 0.003421 mol=0.003421 mol

Moles of NaOH = 0.003421 mole

Volume of NaOH solution = 43.92 ml = 0.04392 L ( 1 mL = 0.001L)

Concentration=\frac{Moles}{Volume(L)}

Concentration of NaOH :

\frac{0.003421 mol}{0.04392 L}=0.07789 M

0.07789 M is the sodium hydroxide concentration.

A gas occupies 12.3 liters at a pressure of 40.0 mm Hg. What is the volume when the pressure is increased to 60.0 mm Hg?
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Final volume = V₂ =  8.2L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 12.3 L

Initial pressure = 40.0 mmHg

Final volume = ?

Final pressure = 60.0 mmHg

Solution:

The given problem will be solved through the Boyle's law,

"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"

Mathematical expression:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = initial volume

P₂ = final pressure

V₂ = final volume  

Now we will put the values in formula,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

40.0 mmHg × 12.3 L = 60.0 mmHg × V₂

V₂ = 40.0 mmHg × 12.3 L / 60.0 mmHg

V₂ =  492 mmHg. L /  60.0 mmHg

V₂ =  8.2L

A solution is made
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

99.3%

Explanation:

The percent by mass of the solute can be expressed as:

  • % mass = \frac{MassSolute}{MassSolute+MassSolvent} * 100%

And for this problem:

  • Mass of Solute = Mass of sodium lithium chloride = 29 g
  • Mass of Solvent = Mass of Water

So to calculate the percent by mass first we need to <u>calculate the mass of water</u>, to do so we use its<em> density</em> (1 g/L):

  • 202 mL is equal to (202/1000) 0.202 L.

Density water = mass water / volume

  • 1 g/L = mass water / 0.202 L
  • Mass water = 0.202 g

Now we have all the data required to <u>calculate the % mass:</u>

  • % mass = \frac{29g}{29g+0.202g} * 100 % = 99.3%
