Given: Half-life of <span>133Ba = t1/2 = 10.5 years.

The radio-active materials obeys 1st order dissociation kinetics. Therefore we have:
k = 0.693 / t1/2 = 0.693 / 10.5 = 0.066 years-1.

Also, </span>k = \frac{2.303}{t} log \frac{Co}{Ct}
where, Co = initial concentration = <span>1.1×10^10 atoms
Ct = conc. of Ba at time t.
......................................................................................................................

Answer 1: For t = </span><span>5 years
</span>0.066 = \frac{2.303}{5} log \frac{Co}{Ct}
Therefore, log\frac{Co}{Ct} = 0.1432
Therefore, Co/Ct = 1.3908
Therefore, Ct = 7.9086 X 10^9 atoms.

Number of 133Ba atoms left after 5 years = 7.9086 X 10^9.
....................................................................................................................

Answer 2: For t = 30 years
0.066 = \frac{2.303}{30} log \frac{Co}{Ct}
Therefore, log\frac{Co}{Ct} = 0.8597
Therefore, Co/Ct = 7.2402
Therefore, Ct = 1.5193 X 10^9 atoms.

Number of 133Ba atoms left after 30 years = 1.5193 X 10^9.
........................................................................................................................

Answer 3: t = 180 years
0.066 = \frac{2.303}{180} log \frac{Co}{Ct}
Therefore, log\frac{Co}{Ct} = 5.1585
Therefore, Co/Ct = 1.44 X 10^5
Therefore, Ct = 7.6367 X10^4 atoms.

Number of 133Ba atoms left after 180 years = 7.6367 X10^4.

What is the percent, by mass, of water in MgSO4.2H20
iris [78.8K]

Answer:51.1%

Explanation:

Mass percent : It is defined as the mass of the given component present in the total mass of the compound. Formula used : First we have to calculate the mass of  and . Mass of  = 18 g/mole Mass of  = 7 × 18 g/mole = 126 g/mole Mass of  = 246.47 g/mole Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the mass percent of  in . Therefore, the mass percent of  in  is, 51.1%

I believe it’s because they are trying to find other things that won’t pollute the environment as much, and they are also doing this because we are trying to reduce green house gas. Sorry if i’m wrong :(
