Answer:

5.8μg

Explanation:

According to the rate or decay law:

N/N₀ = exp(-λt)------------------------------- (1)

Where N = Current quantity,  μg

            N₀ = Original quantity, μg

             λ= Decay constant day⁻¹

              t =  time in days

Since the half life is 4.5 days, we can calculate the  λ from (1) by  substituting N/N₀ = 0.5

0.5 = exp (-4.5λ)

ln 0.5  = -4.5λ

-0.6931 = -4.5λ

λ =   -0.6931 /-4.5

  =0.1540 day⁻¹

Substituting into (1)  we have :

N/N₀ = exp(-0.154t)----------------------------- (2)

To receive 5.0 μg of the nuclide with a delivery time of 24 hours or 1 day:

N = 5.0 μg

N₀ = Unknown

t = 1 day

Substituting into (2) we have

[5/N₀]   = exp (-0.154 x 1)

    5/N₀        = 0.8572

N₀  =  5/0.8572

     =    5.8329μg

    ≈     5.8μg

The Chemist must order 5.8μg  of 47-CaCO3

At a certain temperature this reaction follows first-order kinetics with a rate constant of 0.184 s^-1 ? Suppose a vessel contai
meriva

Answer:

0.57 M

Explanation:

rate = change in concentration /time

Initial concentration of Cl2O5 = 1.16 M

Let the concentration of Cl2O5 after 5.70 seconds be y

rate = (1.16 - y)/5.7

The reaction follows a first order

Therefore, rate = ky = 0.184y

0.184y = (1.16 - y)/5.7

0.184y × 5.7 = 1.16 - y

1.0488y + y = 1.16

2.0488y = 1.16

y = 1.16/2.0488 = 0.57 M

Concentration of Cl2O5 after 5.70 seconds is 0.57 M

How many moles of Al are needed to react completely with 1.2 moles of Fe0
DIA [1.3K]
0.8 moles

 3 moles of feO  gives you  2 moles of Al and 1.2 of your moles should give you 1.2 divided by 3*2 so it equals 0.80 moles

What did J. J. Thomson observe when he applied electric voltage to a cathode ray tube in his famous experiment?
Nataly_w [17]

The glass opposite to the negative electrode started to glow. Hence, option B is correct.

<h3>What is a cathode ray tube?</h3>

A cathode-ray tube (CRT) is a specialized vacuum tube in which images are produced when an electron beam strikes a phosphorescent surface.

J.J. Thomson, through his famous Cathode ray experiment, proved that all atoms contain small negatively charged particles known as electrons. In the experiment, he applied electric voltage across a cathode ray tube. a fluorescent material coating was done on the positive side. When the voltage was applied, the positive side has glowing dots.

Hence, option B is correct.

An atom has a nucleus that has mass and volume. How does the mass of the nucleus compare to the mass of the atom? How does the v
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The mass of the nucleus is almost the same as the atom because a majority of the mass of an atom is stored in the nucleus.

The volume of an atom is larger than the nucleus. The nucleus is a tiny, concentrated area inside of the atom. Atoms are mostly empty space inside.
