Phosphorus-32 is radioactive and has a half life of 14.3 days. What percentage of a sample would be left after 12.6 days

Chemistry

Answer:

There is 54.29 % sample left after 12.6 days

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Half life time = 14.3 days

Time left = 12.6 days

Suppose the original amount is 100.00 grams

Step 2: Calculate the percentage left

X = 100 / 2^n

⇒ with X = The amount of sample after 12.6 days

⇒ with n = (time passed / half-life time) = (12.6/14.3)

X = 100 / 2^(12.6/14.3)

X = 54.29

There is 54.29 % sample left after 12.6 days

Devise a way to separate sand from a mixture of charcoal, sand, sugar, and water
madreJ [45]

A mixture of charcoal, sand, sugar, and water is a heterogeneous mixture. Sugar can easily dissolve in water. Slightly heating the mixture will ensure all of the sugar is dissolved in the water. The mixture then can be filtered to separate out sugar solution from sand and charcoal. The mixture of sand and charcoal is washed several times with water and filtered so that no traces of sugar solution remain in the mixture. To the mixture containing sand and charcoal, water is added. Charcoal being lighter floats on the surface of water, whereas sand being heavy sinks to the bottom. The charcoal floating can be removed manually. After all the charcoal is removed, the mixture of sand and water is again filtered and the sand collected on filter paper is dried. Therefore, by using the above process sand can be separated out from a mixture of charcoal, sand, sugar, and water.

Vhat are some of the benefits and drawbacks of recycling?​
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

benefits: can help reduce waste in land fills, and promotes reusability (turned into different products)

drawbacks: can be much more expensive to salvage than to just throw it in a landfill, and most of the time products cannot be recycled effectively due to its material.

A 99.8 mL sample of a solution that is 12.0% KI by mass (d: 1.093 g/mL) is added to 96.7 mL of another solution that is 14.0% Pb
andre [41]

Answer:

m_{PbI_2}=18.2gPbI_2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we write the reaction again:

Pb(NO_3)_2(aq) + 2 KI(aq)\rightarrow PbI_2(s) + 2 KNO_3(aq)

In such a way, the first thing we do is to compute the reacting moles of lead (II) nitrate and potassium iodide, by using the concentration, volumes, densities and molar masses, 331.2 g/mol and 166.0 g/mol respectively:

n_{Pb(NO_3)_2}=\frac{0.14gPb(NO_3)_2}{1g\ sln}*\frac{1molPb(NO_3)_2}{331.2gPb(NO_3)_2}  *\frac{1.134g\ sln}{1mL\ sln} *96.7mL\ sln\\\\n_{Pb(NO_3)_2}=0.04635molPb(NO_3)_2\\\\n_{KI}=\frac{0.12gKI}{1g\ sln}*\frac{1molKI}{166.0gKI}  *\frac{1.093g\ sln}{1mL\ sln} *99.8mL\ sln\\\\n_{KI}=0.07885molKI

Next, as lead (II) nitrate and potassium iodide are in a 1:2 molar ratio, 0.04635 mol of lead (II) nitrate will completely react with the following moles of potassium nitrate:

0.04635molPb(NO_3)_2*\frac{2molKI}{1molPb(NO_3)_2} =0.0927molKI

But we only have 0.07885 moles, for that reason KI is the limiting reactant, so we compute the yielded grams of lead (II) iodide, whose molar mass is 461.01 g/mol, by using their 2:1 molar ratio:

m_{PbI_2}=0.07885molKI*\frac{1molPbI_2}{2molKI} *\frac{461.01gPbI_2}{1molPbI_2} \\\\m_{PbI_2}=18.2gPbI_2

Best regards.
