Answer:

=14.8 grams

Explanation:

The remaining amount is normally calculated using the formula:

Remaining mass= 1/2ⁿ × Original mass where n is the number of half-lives.

Therefore, original mass= Remaining mass × 2ⁿ

Remaining mass= 2.2 grams

Number of half lives= 2.75 half lives

Original mass= 2.2g × 2²·⁷⁵

=14.8 grams

What does conserving mass mean in a chemical equation?
lubasha [3.4K]
The law of conservation of mass states that mass or matter cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or recombined.
For chemical equations, this law means that each element must be accounted for equally both for reactants and products. So the same numbers of each atom must match on each side, hence the necessity for balancing the chemical equation accurately. This created a field of chemistry called Stoichiometry, which accounts for the conservation of matter throughout chemical reactions and processes.

For each of the following compounds, state whether it is ionic or covalent, and if it is ionic, write the symbols for the ions i
kupik [55]

Answer :

Covalent compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound.

The covalent compound are usually formed when two non-metals react.

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

All the polyatomic ions always form an ionic compound.

Polyatomic ions : It is a charged species that composed of two or more atoms and these charged species are bonded by the covalent bond.

For the given options:

Option A:  KClO_4

This compound is formed by the combination of potassium, K^+ which is a metal and ClO_4^- ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option B:  Mg(C_2H_3O_2)_2

This compound is formed by the combination of magnesium, Mg^{2+} which is a metal and C_2H_3O_2^{-} ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option C:  H_2S

Hydrogen and sulfur, both are non-metals and they will form a covalent compound.

Option D:  Ag_2S

This compound is formed by the combination of silver, Ag^{+} which is a metal and sulfur, S^{2-} which is a non-metal. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.

Option E:  N_2Cl_4

Nitrogen and chlorine, both are non-metals and they will form a covalent compound.

Option F:  Co(NO_3)_2

This compound is formed by the combination of cobalt, Co^{2+} which is a metal and NO_3^{-} ion which is a polyatomic ion. Thus, it will form an ionic compound.
