Answer:

12.02 g

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Half life (t½) = 2 days

Original amount (N₀) = 96 g

Time (t) = 6 days

Amount remaining (N) =..?

Next, we shall determine the rate of disintegration of the isotope. This can be obtained as follow:

Half life (t½) = 2 days

Decay constant (K) =?

K = 0.693 / t½

K = 0.693 / 2

K = 0.3465 /day

Therefore, the rate of disintegration of the isotope is 0.3465 /day.

Finally, we shall determine the amount of the isotope remaining after 6 days as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 96 g

Time (t) = 6 days

Decay constant (K) = 0.3465 /day.

Amount remaining (N) =.?

Log (N₀/N) = kt / 2.303

Log (96/N) = (0.3465 × 6) / 2.303

Log (96/N) = 2.079/2.303

Log (96/N) = 0.9027

Take the anti log of 0.9027

96/N = anti log (0.9027)

96/N = 7.99

Cross multiply

96 = N × 7.99

Divide both side by 7.99

N = 96 /7.99

N = 12.02 g

Therefore, the amount of the isotope remaining after 6 days is 12.02 g

What is the oxidation number for s in s2o4?
hoa [83]
The oxidation number of O is -2 and there's 4 of them so the total is -8. Since it's a molecule the sum of the oxidation numbers of the atoms must equal 0. If 4 oxygen atoms have an oxidation number of -8 then the two S atoms must is +8 to equal 0 so the oxidation number of the S is 8/2 = +4

What is the ion symbol for Lithium?
Bond [772]

Answer:

Lithium is an alkali metal. The symbol for lithium element is ‘Li’. It belongs to group 1 of periodic table. Its electronic configuration is 1s2 2s1. It has one valence electron. So it loses one electron to attain stable configuration. Hence the symbol for lithium ion is ‘Li+’.

Explanation:

ithium is a chemical element with the symbol Li and atomic number 3. It is a soft, silvery-white alkali metal. Under standard conditions, it is the lightest metal and the lightest solid element. Like all alkali metals, lithium is highly reactive and flammable, and must be stored in mineral oil. When cut, it exhibits a metallic luster, but moist air corrodes it quickly to a dull silvery gray, then black tarnish. It never occurs freely in nature, but only in compounds, such as pegmatitic minerals, which were once the main source of lithium. Due to its solubility as an ion, it is present in ocean water and is commonly obtained from brines. Lithium metal is isolated electrolytically from a mixture of lithium chloride and potassium chloride.
