The  number of  years  required  for 1/4  cobalt-60  to remain   after   decay  is calculated  as follows

  after  one  half life  1/2 of the original  mass isotope  remains

after  another half life 1/4  mass  of  original  mass  remains

therefore  if one  half  life is  5.3   years  then  the  years required

= 2  x 5.3years =  10.6   years

Need help ASAP!<br><br> How many moles of sodium nitrate are in 0.25 L of 1.2 M NaNO3 solution?
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.3 \ mol \ NaNO_3}}

Explanation:

Molarity is a measure of concentration in moles per liter.

molarity= \frac{moles \ of \ solute}{liters \ of \ solution}

The molarity of the solution is 1.2 M NaNO₃ or 1.2 moles NaNO₃ per liter. There are 0.25 liters of the solution. The moles of solute are unknown, so we can use x.

  • molarity= 1.2 mol NaNO₃/L
  • liters of solution=0.25 L
  • moles of solute =x

1.2 \ mol \ NaNO_3/L= \frac{x}{0.25 \ L}

We are solving for x, so we must isolate the variable, x. It is being divided by 0.25 liters. The inverse of division is multiplication, so we multiply both sides by 0.25 L.

0.25 \ L *1.2 \ mol \ NaNO_3/L=\frac{x}{0.25 \ L} *0.25 \ L

0.25 \ L *1.2 \ mol \ NaNO_3/L=x

The units of liters cancel, so we are left with the units moles of sodium nitrate.

0.25  *1.2 \ mol \ NaNO_3=x

0.3 \ mol \ NaNO_3=x

There are 0.3 moles of sodium nitrate.

some infrared radiation reaches earth and sum does not with part does reach earth longer wave length or short wave length
Ede4ka [16]
The answer is long wave length because long wave lengths contians less energy, and would not harm living things such as plants and animals. the more engey a wave length has, the less harmful it is.

short wave length: lots of energy, extremely hot. (examples: gamma rays, and UV (ultraviolet) rays.

long wave lengths: not much energy, safe for humans and other life on Earth.

hopefully this helps.
