The half-life of phosphorus-32 is 14.30 days. how many milligrams of a 20.00 mg sample of phosphorus-32 will remain after 85.80

days?

The amount of sample that is left after a certain period of time, given the half-life, h, can be calculated through the equation.

             A(t) = A(o) (1/2)^(t/d)

where t is the certain period of time. Substituting the known values,

             A(t) = (20 mg)(1/2)^(85.80/14.30)

Solving,

           A(t) = 0.3125 mg

Hence, the answer is 0.3125 mg.

30 POINTS! ----- How many moles of oxygen gas are needed to completely react with 145 grams of aluminum? Report your answer with
gladu [14]
First a balanced reaction equation must be established:
4Al _{(s)}    +   3 O_{2}  _{(g)}     →    2 Al_{2} O_{3}

Now if mass of aluminum = 145 g
the moles of aluminum = (MASS) ÷ (MOLAR MASS) = 145 g ÷ 30 g/mol
                                                                                    =  4.83 mols

Now the mole ratio of Al : O₂ based on the equation is  4 : 3  
                                                                [4Al  + 3 O₂ → 2 Al₂O₃]

∴ if moles of Al = 4.83 moles
  then moles of O₂ = (4.83 mol ÷ 4) × 3
                              =  3.63 mol   (to  2 sig. fig.) 

Thus it can be concluded that 3.63 moles of oxygen is needed to react completely with 145 g of aluminum.

Determine the molar mass of CuSO4 (the solute) in a 1.0M aqueous solution of CuSO4
inna [77]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we could have two possible solutions:

A) If you are asking for the molar mass, you should use the atomic mass of each element forming the compound, that is copper, sulfur and four times oxygen, so you can compute it as shown below:

M_{CuSO_4}=m_{Cu}+m_{S}+4*m_{O}=63.546 g/mol+32.00g/mol+4*16.00g/mol\\\\M_{CuSO_4}=159.546g/mol

That is the mass of copper (II) sulfate contained in 1 mol of substance.

B) On the other hand, if you need to compute the moles, forming a 1.0-M solution of copper (II) sulfate, you need the volume of the solution in litres as an additional data considering the formula of molarity:

M=\frac{n_{solute}}{V_{solution}}

So you can solve for the moles of the solute:

n_{solute}=M*V_{solution}

Nonetheless, we do not know the volume of the solution, so the moles of copper (II) sulfate could not be determined. Anyway, for an assumed volume of 1.5 L of solution, we could obtain:

n_{solute}=1mol/L*1.5L=1.5mol

But this is just a supposition.

Regards.

The value of Zeff for a valence electron in an atom of silicon is?
lutik1710 [3]

Zeff is the effective nuclear charge wherein, Z resembles the number of protons in the nucleus while S corresponds to the number of non-valence electrons.

Zeff = Z - S

Silicon has 14 protons; its electron configuration is [Ne] 3s2 3p2. Its non-valence electrons is in the n = 1 and n =2 shells. There are 2 electrons in n = 1 and 8 in n = 2, so there are a total of 10 non-valence electron.

<span><span>Z<span>eff</span></span>= 14−10= 4</span>

So, the answer is 4.

Plete the following problems significant figures: 6 × 0.30<br>​
jeka57 [31]
6= Only the digits 1 and 6 are the actual measured values. Therefore we have only 2 significant figures.

0.3= Zeros used as placeholders are not significant. Zeros that come before non-zero integers are never significant. Example 5: The zeros in 098, 0.3, and 0.000000000389 are not significant because they are all in front of non-zero integers. c. If the zeros come after non-zero integers and are followed by a decimal point, the zeros are significant.
