Answer:

Time taken = 174 days

Explanation:

Half life is the time take for a subsrtance taken to decay to half of it's origial or initial concentration.

In this probel, the haf life is 87 days, this means that after evry 87 days, the concentration or mass of sulfur-35 decreases by half.

If the starting mass is 1.00g, then we have;

1.00g --> 0.5g (First Half life)

0.5g --> 0.25g (Second half life)

This means that sulphur-335 would undergo two half lives for 0.25g to remain.

Total time taken = Number of half lives  * Half life

Time taken = 2 * 87

Time taken = 174 days

Which of the following is the best name for a compound made from nitrogen and oxygen? (N2O3) nitrogen oxide nitrogen II oxide ni
sergejj [24]

The best name for the compound is DINITROGEN TRIOXIDE.

Each chemical compound is always represented by a chemical symbol, which shows the ratio at which each atom of the elements of the compound are combine together and this is often used in naming the compound. Looking at the compound given in the question, the compound is made up of two atoms of nitrogen and three atoms of oxygen and this fact was used in naming the compound. In naming chemical compounds, 'Di' stands for 2 while 'Tri' stands for 3. Since there are two nitrogen and three oxygen atoms in the compound, that was why it was named dinitrogen trioxide.

Calculate the moles of solute dissolved in 4.2 dm3 of a 0.5 mol / dm3 solution.
Archy [21]

Answer:

Example

0.5 mol of sodium hydroxide is dissolved in 2 dm3 of water. Calculate the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution formed.

Concentration =

Concentration = 0.25 mol/dm3

Volume units

Volumes used in concentration calculations must be in dm3, not in cm3. It is useful to know that 1 dm3 = 1000 cm3. This means:

divide by 1000 to convert from cm3 to dm3

multiply by 1000 to convert from dm3 to cm3

For example, 250 cm3 is 0.25 dm3 (250 ÷ 1000). It is often easiest to convert from cm3 to dm3 before continuing with a concentration calculation.

Question

100 cm3 of dilute hydrochloric acid contains 0.02 mol of dissolved hydrogen chloride. Calculate the concentration of the acid in mol/dm3.

Reveal answer

Converting between units

The relative formula mass of the solute is used to convert between mol/dm3 and g/dm3:

to convert from mol/dm3 to g/dm3, multiply by the relative formula mass

to convert from g/dm3 to mol/dm3, divide by the relative formula mass

Remember: the molar mass is the Ar or Mr in grams per mol.

Example

Calculate the concentration of 0.1 mol/dm3 sodium hydroxide solution in g/dm3. (Mr of NaOH = 40)

Concentration = 0.1 × 40

= 4 g/dm3

Which of the following pairs of aqueous solutions will form a precipitate when mixed?
wolverine [178]
 I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The reactants calcium sulfide and sodium sulfate will react and form a precipitate which is calcium sulfate since it is only slightly soluble in aqueous solution. Hope this answers the question.

What reactions are involved in making plastic bags and what are the molecules that make up a plastic bag like?
denpristay [2]
Plastic bags are made up of plastic film, non-woven fabric, or plastic textile. The molecules that are present in plastic bags are polymers. Polymers are large molecules made up of repeating units called monomers.
I know this isn't much, but I hope it helps! :)
