Answer:

473 year

Explanation:

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}

Where,  

[A_t] is the concentration at time t

[A_0] is the initial concentration

Given:

To reach 12.5% of reactant means that 0.125 of [A_0] is decomposed. So,

\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]} = 0.125

t = ?

\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}=e^{-k\times t}

0.125=e^{-0.00440\times t}

t = 473 year

Choose all of the answers that are correct when describing this atom.
gregori [183]
I believe that this atom is  chlorine and the atom has an overall charge of zero.
Chlorine is chemical element which is atomic number 17 in the periodic table. Each chlorine atom has 17 protons (positively charged) in the nucleus balanced by 17 electrons (negatively charged) in the energy shells ( thus an overall charge of zero)

To three significant digit,what is the mass percentage of iron in the compound Fe2O3​
svlad2 [7]

69.9%

Explanation:

To find the mass percentage of iron in the compound in Fe₂O₃, we would go ahead to express the given molar mass of the iron to that of the compound.

 Mass percentage  = \frac{molar mass of Fe}{Molar mass of Fe_{2}O_{3}  }  x 100

Molar mass of Fe = 55.85g/mol

Molar mass of O = 16g/mol

Molar mass of Fe₂O₃ = 2(55.85) + 3(16) = 159.7‬g/mol

Mass percentage  = \frac{2(55.85)}{159.7}  x  100   = 69.94% = 69.9%

A jeweler guarantees that a piece of jewelry is at least 95% gold, by mass. You consider buying a piece of gold jewelry that wei
ELEN [110]
The density of the sample is:
Density = mass / volume
Density = 9.85 / 0.675
Density = 14.6 g/cm³

If the sample has 95% gold, and 5% silver, its density should be:
0.95 x 19.3 + 0.05 x 10.5
Theoretical density = 18.9 g/cm³

The difference in theoretical and actual densities is very large, making it likely that the jeweler was not telling the truth.
