I don't know terribly much about radioactive decay, but yes, it WILL decay. If it's half life is 25 days, it will be completely consumed in 50 days. By 100 days, it should be long gone. As far as I know, the reason for this is (besides the simple math which is self-explanatory) the Thorium has so many protons/neutrons, it's unstable and thus undergoes radioactive decay as it cannot maintain stable form.

I hope this helps! :)

A pharmaceutical company wants to test the efficiency of its new drug production techniques so they run 3 shifts of production f
spayn [35]

The percentage yield of the  new production technique is 82.8%

<h3>What is the percentage yield?</h3>

Production is the procedure by which finished products are obtained form the raw materials. The production process involves the passing of raw materials through a certain procedure that involves the use of certain machines and equipment to give us the required products.

We are told in the question that there are three shifts;

Shift 1 produces 4562 grams

Shift 2 produces 5783 grams

Shift 3 produces 5247 grams

Average production from the three shifts = 4562 grams + 5783 grams +  5247 grams/3 = 5197 grams

The theoretical average yield is =  7000 grams + 7000 grams + 7000 grams/3 = 7000 grams

Now the percentage yield = actual yield/ theoretical yield * 100/1

percentage yield = 5197 grams/7000 grams * 100/1

percentage yield = 82.8%

How would you prepare 2.5 L of a 0.800M solution of KNO3?
statuscvo [17]
First  find the mass of <span>solute:

Molar mass KNO</span>₃ = <span>101.1032 g/mol

mass =  Molarity * molar mass * volume

mass = 0.800 * 101.1032 * 2.5

mass = 202.2064 g of KNO</span>₃

<span>To prepare 2.5 L (0800 M) of KNO3 solution, must weigh 202.2064 g of salt, dissolve in a Beker, transfer with the help of a funnel of transfer to a volumetric flask, complete with water up to the mark, capping the balloon and finally shake the solution to mix.</span>

hope this helps!

Calculate the equilibrium constant for each of the reactions at 25 ∘C. 2Fe3+(aq)+3Sn(s)→2Fe(s)+3Sn2+(aq)
iragen [17]
We take activities of Solids and liquids equal 1. The reason is there concentrations not at all change amount of reactant at equilibrium in the reaction. Hence we don't consider concentrations of pure solids and liquids while writing equilibrium constant. So for above reaction, equilibrium constant (K) = [Sn^2 +] ^3 x 1 / [Fe^3+]^2 x 1. Ping me if you have any doubts.
