T=20 min
m₀=200 g
t=60 min

the mass of element through time t is:
m=m₀*2^(-t/T)

m=200*2^(-60/20)=25 g

25 grams of element will be left after 60 minutes

Answer: 25 grams

Explanation:

Radioactive decay follows first order kinetics.

Half-life of element = 20 minutes

\lambda =\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{20}=0.035min^{-1}

N=N_o\times e^{-\lambda t}

N = amount left after time t = ?

N_0 = initial amount  = 200 g

\lambda = rate constant

t= time  = 60 min

N=200\times e^{- 0.035 min^{-1}\times 60 min}

N=25g

Thus amount left after 60 minutes will be 25 grams.

Of the atoms listed below, which one will have at least one electron in its d orbital?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

D. Cr

Explanation:

In order to determine which atom has at least one electron in its d orbital, we have to write their theoretical electron configurations.

  • ₁₂Mg 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²
  • ₁₉K 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s¹
  • ₁₆S 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴
  • ₂₄Cr 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d⁴

Cr has 4 electrons in d orbitals. Cr belongs to the d-block in the periodic table.

Answer:

.0556 L

Explanation:

First, convert the 1.35 M to 1.35 mol/L in order for the units to correctly cancel out.

Then, multiply (0.0725 moles Na2CO3/1) times (L/ 1.35 mol).

Finally, the answer will be .0556 L.
