Answer: It will take 29 years for a 10.0-gram sample of strontium-90 to decay to 5.00 grams

Explanation:

Radioactive decay process is a type of process in which a less stable nuclei decomposes to a stable nuclei by releasing some radiations or particles like alpha, beta particles or gamma-radiations. The radioactive decay follows first order kinetics.

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

Half life is represented by t_{\frac{1}{2}

t_{\frac{1}{2}=\frac{0.693}{\lambda}

\lambda = rate constant

Given : Strontium-90 decreases in mass  by one-half every 29 years , that is half life of Strontium-90  is 29 years.

As half life is independent of initial concentration, it will take 29 years for a 10.0-gram sample of strontium-90 to decay to 5.00 grams as the amount gets half.

Balance each of the following examples of heterogeneous equilibria and write each Kc expression. Then calculate the value of Kc
marysya [2.9K]

Explanation:

1) 2 Al(s) + 2 NaOH(aq) + 6 H_2O(l) \longleftrightarrow 2 Na[Al(OH)_4](aq) + 7 H_2(g)

Kc=\frac{[Na[Al(OH)_4]]^2*[H_2]^7}{[NaOH]^2}

The Kc for the reverse reaction is the inverse of the Kc of the reaction:

Kc_{reverse}=\frac{1}{Kc}=\frac{1}{11}=0.091

2) H_2O(l) + SO_3(g) \longleftrightarrow H_2SO_4 (aq)

Kc=\frac{[H_2SO_4]}{[SO_3]^2}

The Kc for the reverse reaction is the inverse of the Kc of the reaction:

Kc_{reverse}=\frac{1}{Kc}=\frac{1}{0.0123}=81.3

3)  P_4(s) + 3 O_2(g) \longleftrightarrow P_4O_6(s)

Kc=\frac{1}{[O_2]^3}

The Kc for the reverse reaction is the inverse of the Kc of the reaction:

Kc_{reverse}=\frac{1}{Kc}=\frac{1}{1.56}=0.641

Calculate the work done when a force of 500N moves an object 20m. and (B) if it
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

work done = force multiplied by distance covered,which is 500n multiplied by 20 m= 10000nm

power= work done/time

p= 10000/10

p=1000

Enter the appropriate symbol for an isotope of phosphorus-32 corresponding to the isotope notation AZX. Express your answer as a
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

^{32}_{15}P

Explanation:

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.

However, when we talk about the atomic number of the ion, it is not equal to the number of electrons as electron can be gained or loosed.

This is why, more appropriately, the number of the protons which are present in the nucleus of the atom is called the atomic number.

Thus, atomic number of phosphorus = 15

Mass number is the number of the entities present in the nucleus which is the equal to the sum of the number of protons and electrons.

Given, Mass number = 32

Thus, the symbol of the isotope is:-

^{32}_{15}P

What part of the sun do we see from earth?
NISA [10]

Answer:

photosphere

Explanation:

photosphere

There are 3 main layers of the Sun that we can see. They are the photosphere, the chromosphere and the corona. Together they make up the "atmosphere" of the Sun. The part of the Sun that glows (and that we see with the naked eye) is called the photosphere
