The amount left after 20 years = 154.15 mg
<h3>Further explanation
</h3>
The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.
Usually radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.
The main particles are emitted by radioactive elements so that they generally decay are alpha (α), beta (β) and gamma (γ) particles
The decay formula for isotope :

Then for t=20 years, the amount left :

Answer:

Explanation:
The first step is:

Second step is:

Multiplying second step by 2, and adding both the steps, we get that:

Cancelling common species, we get that:

What happens when an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate?

Answer:
46.40 g.
Explanation:
- It is a stichiometric problem.
- The balanced equation of the reaction: 4K + O₂ → 2K₂O.
- It is clear that 4.0 moles of K reacts with 1.0 mole of oxygen produces 2.0 moles of K₂O.
- We should convert the mass of K (38.5 g) into moles using the relation:
<em>n = mass / molar mass,</em>
n = (38.5 g) / (39.098 g/mol) = 0.985 mole.
<em>Using cross multiplication:</em>
4.0 moles of K produces → 2.0 moles of K₂O, from the stichiometry.
0.985 mole of K produces → ??? moles of K₂O.
∴ The number of moles of K₂O produced = (0.985 mole) (2.0 mole) / (4.0 mole) = 0.4925 mole ≅ 0.5 mole.
- Now, we can get the mass of K₂O:
∴ mass = n x molar mass = (0.5 mole) (94.2 g/mol) = 46.40 g.
Answer:

Explanation:
When calculating an empirical formula from percentages, assume you have a 100g sample. This allows you to convert the percentages directly to grams, because X % of 100g is X grams.
So:
24.42 % = 24.42 g Ca, 17.07% = 17.07g N, 58.5% = 58.5g O
The next step is to divide each mass by their molar mass to convert your grams to moles.
24.42/40.08 = 0.6092 mol
17.07/14.01 = 1.218 mol
58.85/15.99 = 3.680 mol
Then you will divide all of your mol values by the SMALLEST number of moles. This gives you whole numbers that are the mole ratio (subcripts) of the empircal formula.
0.6092 mol/0.6092 mol = 1
1.218 mol/0.6092 mol = 2
3.680 mol/0.6092 mol = 6
So the empirical formula is
