If you have 200 grams of a radioactive sample, how many grams would be left after three half-lives?

Chemistry

Mumz [18]2 years ago

Well, after 1 half life, depending on whatever the amount is, 50% of the original content and or remaining content will undergo decay, as it is unstable.

Original content - 200g

1 half life - 100 g
2 half life - 50 g
3 half life - 25 g

The correct solution would be D. 25 g.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

1) The overall balanced photosynthesis reaction:  

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.

Plants convert solar energy into the chemical energy of sugars (food).

2) Chemical reaction of cellular respiration:  

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O.

Organic carbon (glucose) is transformed into inorganic carbon (carbon dioxide) that goes into atmosphere.

3) Gasoline combustion:

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O.

Gasoline is a mixture of many different hydrocarbons: alkanes (paraffins), cycloalkanes and alkenes (olefins).

Gasoline is being burn.

4) Balanced chemical reaction of forming rust: 4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃.

Forming rust usually last for few months and iron changing in another substance with different properties.

5) An electrochemical cell (voltaic or galvanic cell) is generating electrical energy from chemical reactions.  

In galvanic cell, specie (for example zinc and zinc cations) from one half-cell, lose electrons (oxidation) and species from the other half-cell (for example copper and copper cations) gain electrons (reduction).  

Oxidation on the zinc anode: Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻.

Reduction on the copper cathode: Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu(s).

Copper is forming from the solution, that is chemical change.

6) Balanced chemical reaction: CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂.

Making limewater  (diluted solution of calcium hydroxide).

7) Neutralization is reaction in which an acid and a base react quantitatively with each other. In this reaction, there are no acids and bases, only salts.

Balanced chemical reaction of vinegar and antacid:

2CH₃COOH(aq) + Mg(OH)₂(aq) → (CH₃COO)₂Mg(s) + 2H₂O(l).

Precipation is formed.

8) Balanced chemical reaction of magnesium and hydrochloric acid:

MgO + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂O(g).

Acid dissolves metal oxides.

9) Chemical reaction of silver in air:

4Ag + 2H₂S + O₂ → 2Ag₂S (tarnish) + 2H₂O.

Silver change color in the air.

10) Forming of patina: 2CuO + CO₂ + H₂O → Cu₂CO₃(OH)₂.

Brass (copper) change color to green.

The theoretical yield of Cl2 from certain starting amounts of MnO2 and HCl was calculated as 60.25 g and 65.02 g, respectively.
hoa [83]

The actual yield is 43 g Cl₂.

The <em>limiting reactant was MnO₂</em> because it gave the smaller mass of Cl₂.

∴ The <em>theoretical yield</em> is 60.25 g Cl₂.

% yield = actual yield/theoretical yield × 100 %

Actual yield = theoretical yield × (% yield/100 %) = 60.25 g × (72 %/100%) = 43 g

Which of the following is the best hypothesis?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

B.) If sodium carbonate is added to vinegar, the reaction will absorb heat.

Explanation:

A.) is incorrect because this is not testable. Rather, it is just an opinion that cannot be proven correct or incorrect.

B.) is correct because this statement is testable. Tests need to be run to determine the accuracy of the statement.

C.) is incorrect because this statement explains something that does not need to be tested. It is an example of a physical change when one tears a piece of paper.

D.) is incorrect because this is already a true statement. It is obvious that not all reactions absorb/release heat. While tests could be run to further prove this statement true, it is already considered accurate.
