When you burn a log in your fireplace you are converting ________?

3 0

When you burn a log in your fireplace you are converting c<span>ellulose into carbon dioxide and water.
</span>
Wood is made from cellulose. When wood burns, cellulose reacts with oxygen from the air and it forms carbon dioxide and water vapor.

The reaction of the combustion of glucose is as follows:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ = 6 CO₂ + 6H₂O
When wood burns, we notice that it slowly disappears because it passes into the mentioned gases. The ash that is created is part of the wood that did not burn.

What is the half-life of 20 g of a radioactive sample if 5 g remain after 8 minutes?

Anni [7]

Hello!

The half-life is the time of half-disintegration, it is the time in which half of the atoms of an isotope disintegrate.

We have the following data:

mo (initial mass) = 20 g

m (final mass after time T) = 5 g

x (number of periods elapsed) = ?

P (Half-life) = ? (in minutes)

T (Elapsed time for sample reduction) = 8 minutes

Let's find the number of periods elapsed (x), let us see:

$m = \dfrac{m_o}{2^x}$

$5 = \dfrac{20}{2^x}$

$2^x = \dfrac{20}{5}$

$2^x = 4$

$2^x = 2^2$

$\boxed{x = 2}$

Now, let's find the half-life (P) of the radioactive sample, let's see:

$T = x*P$

$8 = 2*P$

$2\:P = 8$

$P = \dfrac{8}{2}$

$\boxed{\boxed{P = 4\:minutes}}\Longleftarrow(Half-Life)\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark$

I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR! =)

If it requires 48.3 milliliters of 0.55 molar nitric acid to neutralize 15.0 milliliters of barium hydroxide, solve for the mola

Gemiola [76]

First you have to moles so multiply .0483L X .55M= .026565 Multiply moles by mole ratio which is 1/2, so the moles becomes .013283 now molarity=moles/volume; divide .013283/.015L=.885533M significant figures and you final answer is 0.89M
