Answer:

= 3/4

Explanation:

Half life is the time taken by a radioactove element to decay by half of its original mass.

The half life of tritium is 12.3 years , therefore it would take 12.3 years for tritium to decay to a half its original mass.

Using the formula;

New mass = Initial mass × (1/2)^n ; where n is the number of half lives.

n = 5.2 years/12.3 years

  = 52/123

Therefore;

New mass = 1 × (1/2)^(52/123)

                  = 0.74599

                  = 0.75

The fraction of a tritium sample after 5.20 years will be approximately 3/4

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Let us recall that the basic rule in writing balanced chemical reaction equations is that the number of atoms of each element on the right hand side of the reaction equation is the same of the number of atoms of the same element on the left hand side of the reaction equation.

The reaction of red hot iron and steam is written as follows;

3Fe + 4H2O → Fe3O4 + 4H2.

The decomposition reaction of ammonium dichromate is written as;

(NH4)2Cr2O7 → N2 + Cr2O3 + 4H2O

Reaction of aluminium, sodium hydroxide and water is as follows,

2Al + 2NaOH + 2H2O ----> 2NaAlO2 + 3H2

Reaction of potassium bicarbonate with sulphuric acid;

2KHCO3 + H2SO4 -------> K2SO4 + 2H2O + 2CO2

Reaction of zinc and sodium hydroxide is as follows;

Zn + 2NaOH→Na2ZnO2 + H2

How many grams of water are needed to dissolve 27.8 g of ammonium nitrate?
andreyandreev [35.5K]
The moles of ammonium nitrate needed to dissolve 0.35 moles
The moles of water that will react is 0.35 moles as due to ratio
so mass of water will be 0.35 x 18=6.3g 
                                 MASS OF WATER WILL BE 6.3 g

How do you determine the number of moles in a sample
AleksandrR [38]
Divide the mass of the compound in grams by the molar mass you just calculated. The answer is the number of moles of that mass of compound.
