The half life equation is -->P(t) = Pi (0.5) ^ (t/c)
c is equal to the element to reach its half-life (5 seconds)t is equal to the duration of time the element is expose to (20 seconds)Pi is the initial amount (340)0.5 is the base of this exponential function to represent half-life.P(t) is the expression for the function of time

P(20) = 340 (0.5)^20/5P(20) = 340 (0.5) ^4P(20)= 21.25 grams
Fraction = P(t)/Pi              = P(20)/Pi              =21.25/340              =1/16
Therefore, when given 20 seconds, 340 grams of Fluorine-21 will degrade to 21.25 grams OR 1/16 of its original mass.
Hope this method helps! (This is my answer btw, I think you may have accidentally posted twice?)

You have dissolved 10 g sodium oxide in 200 ml water.calculate concentration of the solution
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

0.85 Molar Na2O

Explanation:

Determine the moles of sodium oxide, Na2O, in 10 grams by dividing by the molar mass of Na2O (61.98 g/mole).

 (10 g Na2O)/(61.98 g/mole) = 0.161 moles Na2O.

Molar is a measure of concentration.  It is defined as moles/liter.  A 1 M  solution contains 1 mole of solute per liter of solvent.  [200 ml water = 0.2 Liters water.]

In this case, we have 0.161 moles Na2O in 0.200 L of solvent.

 (0.161 moles Na2O)/(0.200 L) = 0.85 Molar Na2O

Neutrons add only ____ to an atom.
Natali [406]
Neutrons are neutral particles, so they don't change the charge of an atom. They do however, change the atomic mass, so the answer would be a. mass.
