t1/2 = ln 2 / λ = 0.693 / λ
Where t1/2 is the half life of the element and λ is decay constant.

32 = 0.693 / λ 
λ   = 0.693 / 32          (1) 

Nt = Nο eΛ(-λt)          (2)

Where Nt is atoms at t time, λ is decay constant and t is the time taken.
t = 1.9 hours = 1.9 x 60 min

From (1) and (2),


Nt = Nο e⁻Λ(0.693/32)*1.9*60
Nt =  0.085Nο 

Percentage = (Nt/Nο) x 100%
                   = (0.085Nο/Nο) x 100%
                   = 8.5%

Hence, Percentage of remaining atoms with the original sample is 8.5%

An example of a homogeneous mixture is 1. oil and vinegar dressing. 2. concrete. 3. a mixture of salt and pepper. 4. salt water
Sidana [21]

A mixture in which composition is constant throughout the mixture is said to be homogeneous mixture.

Now, oil and vinegar dressing is not considered as a homogeneous mixture because composition is not uniform.

Concrete is made up of three components. Thus, composition is not uniform, so it is not a homogeneous mixture.

A mixture of salt and pepper, when salt is mixed in pepper then the mixture is not uniform as white flecks of salt and black flecks of pepper can be seen in the mixture. Thus, it is not a homogeneous mixture.

Salt water is uniform mixture. Thus,  it is a homogeneous mixture.

Thus, salt water is the correct answer.

Why should scientists perform experiments?
tia_tia [17]
Scientists observe the world around them, from which to draw questions. Their predictions as to the answer are what we call a “hypothesis”. Thus, a scientist’s job is to answer the very hypotheses that they and their piers come up with.

mixer [17]

Answer:

34.6 cm³

Explanation:

<em>A chemistry student needs 55.0 g of carbon tetrachloride for an experiment. By consulting the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, the student discovers that the density of carbon tetrachloride is 1.59 g/cm³. Calculate the volume of carbon tetrachloride the student should pour out. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>

Step 1: Given data

  • Mass of carbon tetrachloride (m): 55.0 g
  • Density of carbon tetrachloride (ρ): 1.59 g/cm³

Step 2: Calculate the required volume of carbon tetrachloride

Density is an intrinsic property of matter. It can be calculated as the quotient between the mass of the sample and its volume.

ρ = m/V

V = m/ρ

V = 55.0 g/(1.59 g/cm³)

V = 34.6 cm³

The chemistry student should pour 34.6 cm³ of carbon tetrachloride.
