26 because you need to do 54-28=26
The atomic mass number is the number of protons AND neutrons together.
Answer:
Maybe they both have valence electrons and can be used in chemical reactions. I could be wrong, I don't have any exact answers.
Explanation:
The following Balanced Reaction will take place:
Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂
In the question, we have 2 moles of Zinc and 3 moles of HCl for this reaction
<u>Amount of HCl required to completely react with 2 moles of Zn:</u>
Since we need 2 moles of HCl for every mole of Zn, we will need 2(2) = 4 moles of HCl for every 2 moles of Zn
<u>Identifying the Limiting Reagent:</u>
But we are only given 3 moles of HCl where we need 4 moles to completely react.
So, since HCl is in less amount, it is the Limiting Reagent
464 g radioisotope was present when the sample was put in storage
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Sample waste of Co-60 = 14.5 g
26.5 years in storage
Required
Initial sample
Solution
General formulas used in decay:
t = duration of decay
t 1/2 = half-life
N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms
Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time
Half-life of Co-60 = 5.3 years
Input the value :
