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.

Calculate the number of moles in 7g of nitrogen gas​
Andru [333]

Answer:

<h3>0.2498molN_{2}</h3>

Explanation:

7gN2 x \frac{1 mol}{2(14.01) g}

=0.2498mol N2

Nitrogen gas has the formula N_{2} so therefore that means you would have to multiply the mass in the molar by 2. To solve for the number of moles you need to cancel out the grams, you do this by using the molar mass of nitrgoen gas. You get the value on in the denominator from the periodic table (atomic mass of element). The grams will cancel out, leaving you with the number of moles when you divide 7/2(14.01).

Mkey [24]

Answer:

A well tested explanation of a natural phenomenon

Explanation:

A scientific theory is an explanation of a natural phenomenon which has been drawn from a well tested observation.

Theories are products of repeated scientific experiments. When a hypothesis otherwise known as a "scientific guess" survives a lot of scrutiny, we can elevate it to the status of a theory. Most theories starts off from simple observations. These observations can further spark series of experiments in such a field and a scientific guess proposed. Further testing and experimenting would now lead to a theory.
