Answer:

= 25 g

Explanation:

Using the formula;

A = A₀ (1/2)^(t/h)

where A is the final amount,

A₀ is the initial amount of the substance,

t is the time and

h is the half-life of the substance,

In this case; the half life of U-238 h is equal to 4.47 billion years.

A = A₀ (1/2)^(t/h)

A = 50 (1/2)^(4.5 / 4.47)

   = 24.88

  <u> = 25 g</u>

Answer:

C) 25 grams

Explanation:

25 grams would remain after one half-life (4.5 billion years). Find the point where percent remaining is 50% and that will tell you it is one half-life.

The​ half-life of a certain tranquilizer in the bloodstream is 5050 hours. how long will it take for the drug to decay to 8686​%
Novosadov [1.4K]
Using the exponential decay model; we calculate "k"
We know that "A" is half of A0
A = A0 e^(k× 5050)
A/A0 = e^(5050k)
0.5 = e^(5055k)
In (0.5) = 5055k 
-0.69315 = 5055k
 k = -0.0001371
To calculate how long it will take to decay to 86% of the original mass
0.86 = e^(-0.0001371t)
In (0.86) = -0.0001371t
-0.150823 = -0.0001371 t
 t = 1100 hours

If 45 mL of water are added to 250 mL of a 0.75 M K2SO4 solution, what will the molarity of the diluted solution be?
krok68 [10]

Answer:

\large\boxed{\large\boxed{0.64M}}

Explanation:

When you form a <em>diluted solution</em> from a mother (concentrated) solution, the moles of solute are determined by the mother solution.

The main equation is:

Molarity=\dfrac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{volume of the solution in liters}}

Then, since the moles of solute is the same for both the mother solution and the diluted solution:

          \text{Molarity mother solution }\times\text{ volume mother solution}=\\\\=\text{Molarity diluted solution }\times\text{ volume diluted solution}

Substitute and solve for the molarity of the diluted solution:

           250mL\times 0.75M=(45mL+250mL)\times M\\\\\\M=\dfrac{250mL\times 0.75M}{295mL}=0.64M

Water is capable of dissolving a variety of different substances, which is why it is such a good solvent. it is often called the
Tema [17]

Water is often referred as a <span>universal solvent </span>because it is capable dissolving much more solutes as compared to any other solvent.  This is because, water is a high polar molecule. In water, H has partial positive charge while O has partial negative charge. 


Due to this, water favors dissociation of molecules into positively and negatively charged ions. Positively charge ions gets attracted  towards oxygen i.e. negatively charges, while negatively charged ions get attracted towards positive end of water molecule. 


However, it is worth nothing that, despite water being referred as universal solvent, many compounds are insoluble or partially soluble in water. For instance, most of the hydroxide displays poor solubility in water.
