To get the percent mass of calcium, first let us compute for the total mass:

total mass = 2.89 g + 5.11 g

total mass = 8 g

 

So the percent mass of calcium is:

% calcium = (2.89 / 8) * 100% = 36.125%

Iron-59 has a half-life of 45.1 days. How old is an iron nail if the Fe-59 content is 25% that of a new sample of iron? Show all
alexdok [17]

Answer:  

90.2 da

Explanation:  

The <em>half-life</em> of iron-59 (45.1 da) is the time it takes for half the Fe to decay.  

After one half-life, half (50 %) of the original amount will remain.  

After a second half-life, half of that amount (25 %) will remain, and so on.  

We can construct a table as follows:  

  No. of    Time    Percent       Fraction

<u>half-lives</u>  <u>days</u>   <u>remaining</u>   <u>remaining </u>

      1           45.1         50                 ½

      2          90.2        25                 ¼

      3          135           12.5              ⅛

      4          180            6.25           ¹/₁₆

We see that 25 % remains after two half-lives or 90.2 da.

Approximate temperature of a .7 mold sample of a gas at 1.2 ATM and volume of .170 L
faust18 [17]
Assuming you meant a 0.7 mole sample of a gas, we can approximate this by assuming that the gas is acting ideally, and use the ideal gas law PV=nRT. Using the following values:
P = 1.2 Atm
V = 0.170 L
n = 0.7 mol
R = 0.08206 L-atm/mol-K
We can rewrite the equation as: PV/nR = T
Plug in our values:
(1.2 atm)(0.170 L)/(0.08206*0.7 moles) = approximately 3.55 Kelvin = T

Why is this temperature scale (Celsius) different and/or better than the other temperature scales?
Vesna [10]

Answer:

They are used because of preference or convenience, not necessity. These scales came about historically when there were no standards to calibrate a thermometer against. The Fahrenheit scale used the temperature of the coldest thing then known for its zero, which was salty ice.13-Oct-2019

Damian places a negatively charged balloon in a magnetic field. Which direction will the balloon move?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

4.North to south

Explanation:

In magnetic fields, the north pole is considered negative while the south pole is considered positive. Hence the balloon will be attracted from the north towards the south pole since it is negatively charged.
