Answer:

Lithium has 4 neutrons

Explanation:

The number shown above the lithium symbol (Li) is the mass number.

The mass number (A) represents the protons and neutrons an atom has.

The atomic number(Z) in the other hand represents the protons only.

So, the difference between this two numbers is the amount of neutrons.

$n_{neutrons}=A-Z=7-3=4$

Uranium-238 decays to lead-206 with a half-life of 4.5 x 109 yr. Determine how much uranium-238 decays in milligrams (to three s

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

2.15 mg of uranium-238 decays

Explanation:

For decay of radioactive nuclide-

$N=N_{0}.(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}$

where N is amount of radioactive nuclide after t time, $N_{0}$ is initial amount of radioactive nuclide and $t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ is half life of radioactive nuclide

Here $N_{0}=4.60 mg$ , $t=4.1\times 10^{9}yr$ and $t_{\frac{1}{2}}=4.5\times 10^{9}yr$

So, $N=(4.60mg)\times (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{4.1\times 10^{9}}{4.5\times 10^{9}}}$

so, N = 2.446 mg

mass of uranium-238 decays = (4.60-2.446) mg = 2.15 mg

Aqueous sodium hydroxide forms a light blue precipitate. What is the formula of the blue precipitate?

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Cu2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) => Cu(OH)2(s)

Explanation:

Use of aqueous sodium hydroxide is a precipitation reaction to test for anions or cations. Aqueous sodium hydroxide in a precipitate test forms a insoluble precipitates along with some colors characteristics.

Aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH) when mixed with copper(II) (Cu2+) forms a blue precipitate. The formula is as follows:

Cu2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) => Cu(OH)2(s)
