The half-life of strontium-90 is 25 years. How much strontium-90 will remain 100 years if the initial amount is 4.0 g

irakobra [83]

Ok so because the half life is 25 years, the mass will "decrease" by half every 25 years.
So after 25 years it becomes 2 grams,
At 50 yrs it becomes one gram
At 75 years it will be half a gram
At 100 years it will be a quarter of a gram or 0.25 grams.

I.e. the final mass is 0.25 grams

How many moles are in 5.67x10^24 atoms of RbCl?

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

<h2>9.42 moles</h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

$n = \frac{N}{L} \\$

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

$n = \frac{5.67 \times {10}^{24} }{6.02 \times {10}^{23} } \\ = 9.418604...$

We have the final answer as

<h3>9.42 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

Dissolve 30 g of sodium sulphate into 300 mL of water

Aneli [31]

Answer:

number of moles = 0.21120811

Explanation:

To find the number of moles, given the mass of the solute, we use the formula:

$\mathrm{n = \dfrac{ m }{ M } }$

$\mathrm{n = number\:of\:moles\:(mol)}$

$\mathrm{m = mass\:of\:solute\:(g)}$

$\mathrm{M = molar\:mass\:of\:solute\:( \dfrac{ g }{ mol } )}$

Label the variables with the numbers in the problem:

$\mathrm{n =\:?}$

$\mathrm{m =30\:g }$

$\mathrm{M =\:?\:Calculate\:the\:molar\:mass }$

The first thing we have to do is find the molar mass of sodium sulfate, in order for us to use the formula for finding the number of moles:

Formula for finding the molar mass of sodium sulfate:

$M({ \left Na \right }_{ 2 } { \left So \right }_{ 4 }) = m \left( Na \right) +m \left( S \right) +m \left( O \right)$

For the variables and what they mean are below for finding the molar mass of sodium sulfate:

$\mathrm{M =molar\:mass }$

$\mathrm{m =moles=2\:moles\:for\:Na\:,1\:mole\:for\:S,\:and\:4\:moles\:for\:O}$

$\mathrm{Na =sodium=22.99\:g }$

$\mathrm{S =sulfur=32.06\:g }$

$\mathrm{O =oxygen=16.00\:g }$

Plug the numbers into the formula, to find the molar mass of sodium sulfate:

$M({ \left Na \right }_{ 2 } { \left So \right }_{ 4 }) = m \left( Na \right) +m \left( S \right) +m \left( O \right)$

$\mathrm{Substitute\:the\:values\:into\:the\:formula}$

$M = 2 \left( 22.99 \right) +1 \left( 32.06 \right) +4 \left( 16.00 \right)$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:2\:by\:22.99\:to\:get\:45.98\:and\:1\:by\:32.06\:to\:get\:32.06}$

$\mathrm{M = 45.98+32.06+4\:(16)}$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:4\:by\:16\:to\:get\:64}$

$\mathrm{M = 45.98+32.06+64}$

$\mathrm{Add\:45.98\:and\:32.06\:to\:get\:78.04}$

$\mathrm{M = 78.04+64}$

$\mathrm{Add\:78.04\:and\:64\:to\:get\:142.04}$

$\mathrm{M = 142.04}$

Now that we have found the molar mass, we can calculate the number of moles in the solution of sodium sulfate with the formula:

$\mathrm{n = \dfrac{ m }{ M } }$

$\mathrm{n =\:?}$

$\mathrm{m =30\:g }$

$\mathrm{M = 142.04\:g/mol}$

$\mathrm{Substitute\:the\:values\:into\:the\:formula}$

$\mathrm{n = \dfrac{ 30 }{ 142.04 }}$

$\mathrm{Divide\:142.04\:by\:30\:to\:get\:0.21120811}$

$\mathrm{n = 0.21120811}$

0.21120811 rounded gives you 0.2112

or if you did the problem without decimals

30 grams of sodium sulfate divided by its molecular weight – which we found to be 142 – gives us a value of 0.2113 moles.

Why is a homogeneous mixture not considered a pure substance?

stepladder [879]

The answer is "A. a pure substance can be separated by chemical means, while a mixture can be separated by physical means". A pure substance only has one type of substance, whereas a mixture has more than one. A pure substance therefore, can only be separated chemically, because it is not two things mixed together, whereas a mixture can be separated physically because there are multiple substances.
