Phosphorus-32 is a commonly used radioactive nuclide in biochemical research, particularly in studies of nucleic acids. the half

-life of phosphorus-32 is 14.3 days. what mass of phosphorus-32 is left from an original sample of 157 mg of na332po4 after 42.0 days? assume that the atomic mass of 32p is 32.0.

given days = 42 days 
 So, number of half life, n = 42/14.3 = 2.93 
 So, after 42 days, the mass of sodium phosphate sample left = original mass
x (1/2)^n, 
 = 157 mg x (1/2)^2.93 = 20.60 g of Na3PO4 after 42 days  
 Formula mass of Sodium phosphate = 3(23) + 32 + 4(16) amu = 165 amu  
 165 g of sodium phosphate contains 32 g of Phosphorus 
 20.60 g ------------------------------? = 20.60 x 32/ 165 =3.99g of P32

Answer:

Some common compounds in our daily lives:

Water, H2O. We need this for survival, because it serves a lot of functions in our body, such as being a medium for chemical reactions in our cells.

Carbon Dioxide, CO2. It is one of the components of air, our body also produces CO2 during respiration.

Sodium chloride, NaCl. Table salt is mostly made of sodium chloride. It is also found dissolved in sea water.

Methane, C2H4. This is a common fuel for generating electricity. It can also be found (small amounts) in air.

Nitrogen Dioxide, NO2. It can also be found in air, and it is one of the common air pollutants brought by burning of fossil fuels.

Water is placed in a graduated cylinder and the volume is recorded as 43.5 ml. a homogeneous sample of metal pellets with a mass
natulia [17]
Density = mass /volume of the body. mass = 10.88 g, volume of the liquid displaced= 49.4-43.5=5.9 ml.

density = 10.88/5.9=1.844 g/ml~1.84 g/ml

The volume displaced is exactly the same as that of the body (The Eureka fro Archimedes!)

Which substance could store more energy on a per gram basis, sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate or sodium chloride?
geniusboy [140]
Sodium Chloride is 0.4948 kJ/mol while Sodium Thiosulfate Pentahydrate is 0.2059 kJ/mol. Therefore, Sodium Chloride could store more energy on a per gram basis.

Why can't we use chromatography paper to separate different colored pencils?
Sveta_85 [38]
Chromatography is a way of separating a mixture of chemicals which are in gas or liquid form.  when the paper absorbs the liquid, the different colours from the colouring pencils will not be separated because they are insoluble solid pieces,also because they are solid the colours will not be able to creep up the paper which is why chromatography can not be used to separate different coloured pencils.
