Radioactive decay is a pseudo-first order reaction. When you know the half-life of the material, you could use this equation.

A= A₀(1/2)^t/h
where 
A is the final activity
A₀ is the initial activity
t is the time
h is the half-life

A = (0.64)(1/2)^88/44 = <em>0.16 mbq</em>

Answer:

Supersaturated

Explanation:

The tea has absorbed and dissolved as much sugar as it could. If there is sugar left at the bottom, it means the solution is supersaturated because it can't absorb any more.

Why can scientists ignore the forces of attraction between particles in a gas under ordinary conditions
Alika [10]
<span>Scientists ignore the forces of attraction between particles in a gas under ordinary conditions</span><span> because the particles in a gas are apart and moving fast, rather than clustered and moving slow, therefore the forces of attraction are too weak to have a visible effect.</span>

How many moles of ethane (C2H6) would be needed to react with 62.3 grams of oxygen gas?
Vladimir [108]
Note that it says oxygen "gas"
So you need the atomic mass of oxygen gas

Look at your periodic table, you'll see 15.9994 under oxygen
Oxygen gas has a formula of O2 therefore,
(15.9994) times 2= Oxygen gas atomic mass=31.9988

Mol= Mass/Atomic Mass
=62.3 g/ 31.9988 g/mol = 1.95 mol

now look at the ratio of C2H6 and O2, notice there is an invisible number beside each of them, at that "invisible number" is =1

1 C2H6 + 1 O2 -> products

this means that for 1 mol of C2H6, 1 mol of O2 has to react with it

Thus as we have 1.95 moles of O2, we need 1.95 moles of C2H6
