Answer:

12.5%

Explanation:

The half life of any reaction is the amount of time it takes to consume half of the starting material.

In this case, the original or starting percentage of material is 100%

100% - 50% : First Half Life

50% - 25%   : Second Half life

25% - 12.5% : Third Half life.

After three half lives have passes, the percentage of strontium-90 that remains in a sample is 12.5%

12.5% of strontium-90 would remain in a sample after three half-lives have passed. Half-life automatically means 50% of the original amount would remain.

What are the limitations of litmus paper and phenolphthalein indicators? Name two other indicators that can be used that do not
ra1l [238]

False reading may be obtained if there is a run over from adjacent reagent area in excessively wetted strips

Phenolphthalein only works efficiently from 4 to 10 ph

Litmus and phenolphthalein and methyl orange indicators can only allow you to tell if solution is alkaline,neutral or acidic

The two indicators with less limitations are methyl orange and thymol blue

Consider a hydrogen atom in the ground state. What is the energy of its electron?
mr Goodwill [35]
The energy of an electron in a hydrogen atom is:
<span>E= (-2.179 x 10 ^-18 J)(1/n^2)

</span>where n is the principle energy level of the electron.
<span>
E= (-2.179 x 10 ^-18 J)(1/4)
</span><span>E= -2.179 x 10 ^-18 J
</span>E = -5.4 <span>x 10 ^-19 J</span>

A cylinder with a moveable piston contains 0.552 mol of gas and has a volume of 259 mL . Part A What will its volume be if an ad
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The new volume will be 367mL

Explanation:

Using PV = nRT

V1 = 259mL = 0.000259L

n1 = 0.552moles

At constant temperature and pressure, the value is

P * 0.000259 = 0.552 * RT ------equation 1

= 0.552 / 0.000259

= 2131.274

V2 = ?

n2 = 0.552 + 0.232

n2 = 0.784mole

Using ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

P * V2 = 0.784 * RT ---------- equation 2

Combining equations 1 and 2 we have;

V2 = 0.784 / 2131.274

V2 = 0.000367L

V2 = 367mL

Hello! for titration method , why is alkali used instead of bases?
34kurt

Your question has been heard loud and clear.

Uhm , Alkalis are just bases who react with water. In titration we use water also , so we need bases that react with water , and such bases are alkalis.

Alkalis are a type of bases.

Thank you
