Answer: After three half-lives 1/8 (12.5%) of the original sample remains
Shale actually forms in the part of the rock cycle called compaction.
Simple cations are formally called by their element names with a suffixed Roman numeral in parentheses to indicate its charge. A simple anion has a name that is the original elemental name with the final syllable changed to -ide.
A, I just took the quiz and that was the answer
Answer:
6 x 10⁵ kg Hg
Explanation:
The mass of mercury in the entire lake is found by multiplying the concentration of the mercury by the volume of the lake.
The volume of the lake is calculated in cubic feet:
V = (SA)x(depth) = (100mi²)(5280ft/mi)² x (20ft) = 5.57568 x 10¹⁰ ft³
Cubic feet are then converted to mL (1cm³=1mL)
(5.57568 x 10¹⁰ ft³) x (12in/ft)³ x (2.54cm/in)³ = 1.578856752 x 10¹⁵ mL
The mass of mercury is then found:
m = CV = (0.4μg/mL)(1g/10⁶μg)(1kg/1000g) x (1.578856752 x 10¹⁵ mL) = 6 x 10⁵ kg Hg
