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

How many moles of mercury, Hg, are there in 1.30 x 10^7 atoms of murcury? PLEASE HELP, IT'S URGENT! Thank you! (:
vodka [1.7K]
1 mole Hg ---------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
??  ------------------------- 1.30 x10⁷ atoms

1.30x10⁷ x 1 / 6.02x10²³ =

= 1.30x10⁷ / 6.02x10²³ => 2.159x10⁻¹⁷ moles

When 1 mole of CO(g) reacts with H2O(l) to form CO2(g) and H2(g) according to the following equation, 2.80 kJ of energy are abso
Inga [223]
Answer: Endothermic, 2.80 kJ

Explanation

Since this reaction absorbs heat, it is endothermic.

The energy absorbed per mole CO is 2.80 kJ and this reaction is already balanced. q= 2.80 kJ

Hope this helps:)

Zinc reacts with aqueous sulfuric acid to form hydrogen gas: zn(s) h2so4(aq) ? znso4(aq) h2(g) in an experiment, 201 ml of wet h
WINSTONCH [101]
The products of reaction are ZnSO4 and H2. Since ZnSO4 is in aqueous form (aq), therefore only H2 and water vapor contributes to the overall total pressure in the system.
Total Pressure = 764 torr = H2 partial pressure + Water partial pressure
Since Water partial pressure is 26.74 torr so,
H2 partial pressure = 737.26 torr = 0.97 atm

Amanda paired with Janice while Deja paired with Eden for a chemistry project. For the Earth science project, Amanda paired with
pashok25 [27]

The chemical reaction that the situation demonstrates would be a double replacement reaction.

In double replacement reactions, the two reactants participating in the reaction are similarly built in terms of their chemical bonds and they exchange ions to form the products of the reaction. Two products are also formed from the two reactants.

It is as opposed to single replacement reactions in which the two reactants are not similar bond-wise. One of the reactants replaces or displaces one of the ions in another reactant.

In this case, the situation can be represented as follows:

Amanda-Janice + Deja-Eden ----> Amanda-Eden + Deja-Janice

Thus, it is a form of double replacement reaction.
