7 0

The half-life of Th-232 is 1.405 × 10¹⁰ years  

Time elapsed = 2.8 x 10⁹ years  

Equation of radioactive decay:

A = A₀ = (1/2)^ t/t₁/₂

Thus, the percentage of thorium-232 in the rock that was dated at 2.8 billions year = 87.1%

This is the chemical formula for zinc bromate: . Calculate the mass percent of oxygen in zinc bromate. Round your answer to the
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

30%

Explanation:

<em>This is the chemical formula for zinc bromate: Zn(BrO₃)₂. Calculate the mass percent of oxygen in zinc bromate. Round your answer to the nearest percentage.</em>

Step 1: Determine the mass of 1 mole of Zn(BrO₃)₂

M(Zn(BrO₃)₂) = 1 × M(Zn) + 2 × M(Br) + 6 × M(O)

M(Zn(BrO₃)₂) = 1 × 65.38 g/mol + 2 × 79.90 g/mol + 6 × 16.00 g/mol

M(Zn(BrO₃)₂) = 321.18 g/mol

Step 2: Determine the mass of oxygen in 1 mole of Zn(BrO₃)₂

There are 6 moles of atoms of oxygen in 1 mole of Zn(BrO₃)₂.

6 × m(O) = 6 × 16.00 g = 96.00 g

Step 3: Calculate the mass percent of oxygen in Zn(BrO₃)₂

%O = mO/mZn(BrO₃)₂ × 100%

%O = 96.00 g/321.18 g × 100% ≈ 30%

In which layer(s) would a solid cube with 6 cm sides and mass of 270 g float? Explain.
DIA [1.3K]
The buoyancy of an object is dictated by its density. So let us calculate for density, where:density = mass / volume
Calculate the volume first of a solid cube:volume = (6 cm)^3 = 216 cm^3 = 216 mL
Therefore density is:density = 270 g / 216 mLdensity = 1.25 g / mL
Therefore this object will float in the layer in which the density is more than 1.25 g / mL.

Explain in terms of chemical reactivity why the elements in group 18 on the modern periodic table were not identified by Mendele
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

elements tend not to react with other elements, there were no oxide compounds for Mendeleev to study. –Group 18 elements are generally unreactive. sodium ion is smaller because the sodium atom lost one electron. –An Na+ ion is smaller because it has one fewer electron shell.

Explanation:

can you me as brainliest if its right? i just need a few more to rank up! ^-^

Also have a great day and good luck in your studies!
