<h3>Answer:</h3>
18.75 grams
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
- Half-life refers to the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half of the original mass.
- In this case, the half-life of element X is 10 years, which means it takes 10 years for a given mass of the element to decay by half of its original mass.
- To calculate the amount that remained after decay we use;
Remaining mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half-lives
Number of half-lives = Time for the decay ÷ Half-life
= 40 years ÷ 10 years
= 4
Therefore;
Remaining mass = 300 g × (1/2)⁴
= 300 g × 1/16
= 18.75 g
Hence, a mass of 300 g of an element X decays to 18.75 g after 40 years.
Explanation:
Ionic equation
NaCl(aq) --> Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
Na2SO4(aq) --> 2Na+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq)
In NaCl solution, 1 mole of Na+ is dissociated in 1 liter of solution while in Na2SO4, 2 moles of Na+ is dissociated in 1 liter of solution.
Molecular weight of NA2SO4 = (23*2) + 32 + (16*4)
= 142 g/mol
Molecular weight of NaCl = 23 + 35.5
= 58.5 g/mol
Masses
% Mass of NA+ in Na2SO4 = mass of Na+/total mass of Na2SO4 * 100
= 46/142 * 100
= 32.4%
% Mass of NA+ in NaCl = mass of Na+/total mass of NaCl * 100
= 23/58.5 * 100
= 39.3%
Therefore, the % mass of Na+ in NaCl and Na2SO4 are different so it cannot be used.
Answer:
yes, it is a homogeneous mixture because the different parts cannot be seen.
