Copper should not be disposed of in landfill sites because the dust and waste gases of copper is very harmful to the environment. It can leached into the ground possibly affecting the underground water.

If a substance has a half life of 58 years and starts with 500 g radioactive, how much remains radioactive after 30 years?
Vilka [71]

Answer:

A = 349 g.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the radioactive decay kinetic model is based on the first-order kinetics whose integrated rate law is:

A=Ao*exp(-kt)

We can firstly calculate the rate constant given the half-life as shown below:

k=\frac{ln(2)}{t_{1/2}} =\frac{ln(2)}{58year}=0.012year^{-1}

Therefore, we can next plug in the rate constant, elapsed time and initial mass of the radioactive to obtain:

A=500g*exp(-0.012year^{-1} *30year)\\\\A=349g

Regards!

Why do metals lose shine but gold<br> does not?
morpeh [17]
Because <span>Gold is a very inert metal, and won't really react with oxygen in the air.

The only reason other metals tarnish, such as copper, silver, steel/iron, is

because they're freely reacting with air, to produce a metal oxide surface layer. </span>

If 23.17 g of beryllium (Be) reacts with water at standard temperature and pressure,
emmainna [20.7K]

Volume of H2 produced = 57.6576 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

23.17 g Be

Required

Volume of H2

Solution

Reaction

Be(s)+H2O(g)→BeO(s)+H2(g)

mol Be :

= 23.17 g : 9 g/mol

= 2.574

From the equation, mol H2 : mol Be = 1 : 1, so mol H2 = 2.574

Volume H2(assumed at STP, 1 mol=22.4 L) :

= 2.574 x 22.4 L

= 57.6576 L
