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%

If a object has a mass of 10 kilograms, how much does it weigh in newtons?
Len [333]
Depends on where the object is. On earth, moon , or somewhere without any other mass (theoretically). I think you mean how much does weigh on earth. So, the average gravitational acceleration on earth is : 9.83 m/s^2 To find out how much an object weighs, this is the formula : G=m.g where m is mass of the object g is the gravitational acceleration and G is weight. So, G = 10.9,83 = 98,3 N is the answer.

Coke is an impure form of carbon that is often used in the in-dustrial production of metals from their oxides. if a sample of co
olasank [31]
The reaction equation is:
<span>2CuO(s) + C(s) </span>→ <span>2Cu(s) + CO</span>₂<span>(g)

First, we determine the number of grams present in one ton of copper oxide. This is:
1 ton = 9.09 x 10</span>⁵ g

We convert this into moles by dividing by the molecular mass of copper oxide, which is:
9.09 x 10⁵ / 79.5 = 11,434 moles

Each mole of carbon reduces two moles of copper oxide, so the moles of carbon required are:
11,434 / 2 = 5,717 moles of Carbon required

The mass of carbon is then:
5,717 x 12 = 68,604 grams

The mass of coke is:
68,604 / 0.95 = 72,214 g

The mass of coke required is 7.22 x 10⁴ grams

Suppose of potassium sulfate is dissolved in of a aqueous solution of sodium chromate. Calculate the final molarity of potassium
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, here's the complete question:

<em><u>"Suppose 0.0842g of potassium sulfate is dissolved in 50.mL of a 52.0mM aqueous solution of sodium chromate. Calculate the final molarity of potassium cation in the solution. You can assume the volume of the solution doesn't change when the potassium sulfate is dissolved in it. Round your answer to 2 significant digits."</u></em>

Explanation:

Reaction :-

K2SO4 + Na2CrO4 ------> K2CrO4 + Na2SO4

Mass of K2SO4 = 0.0842 g, Molar mass of K2SO4 = 174.26 g/mol

Number of moles of K2SO4 = 0.0842 g / 174.26 g/mol = 0.000483 mol

Concentration of Na2CrO4 = 52.0 mM = 52.0 * 10^-3 M = 0.052 mol/L

Volume of Na2CrO4 solution = 50.0 ml = 50 L / 1000 = 0.05 L

Number of moles of Na2CrO4 = 0.05 L * 0.052 mol/L = 0.0026 mol

Since number of moles of K2SO4 is smaller than number of moles Na2CrO4, so 0.000483 mol of K2SO4 will react with 0.000483 mol of Na2CrO4 will produce 0.000483 mol of K2CrO4.

0.000483 mol of K2CrO4 will dissociate into 2* 0.000483 mol of K^+

Final concentration of potassium cation

= (2*0.000483 mol) / 0.05 L = 0.02 mol/L = 0.02 M
