Let’s say we start with 2.2lbs of uranium. If the half-line of U-235 is 703.8 million years, how much uranium will we have after

Answer:

0.14 lb

Explanation:

The <em>half-life</em> of U-235 (703.8 ×10⁶ yr) is the time it takes for half the U to decay.  

After one half-life, half (50 %) of the original amount will remain.

After a second half-life, half of that amount (25 %) will remain, and so on.

We can construct a table as follows:

  No. of                        Fraction         Amount

<u>half-lives</u>  <u>t/(yr × 10⁶)</u>  <u>remaining</u>   <u>remaining/lb </u>

       1             703.8            ½                    1.1

       2           1408               ¼                   0.55

       3            2111                ⅛                   0.28

       4           2815               ¹/₁₆                  0.14

We see that 2815 × 10⁶ yr is four half-lives, and the amount of U-235 remaining is 0.14 lb.

Which of the following solutions is acidic? [H3O+] = 1.0 x 10-10 M [H3O+] &lt; 1.0 x 10-7 M [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-10 M [OH-] = 1.0 x
Burka [1]

Answer:

[OH-] = 1.0 x 10-10 M

Explanation:

The acidity of a solution can be determined directly from the concentration of the hydrogen ions and indirectly from the concentrations of the hydroxide ions.

Generally, for a neutral solution we have;

[H3O+] = [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-7 M

For an acidic solution;

[H3O+] > 1.0 x 10-7 M

[OH-] < 1.0 x 10-7 M

Comparing the options the correct option is;

[OH-] = 1.0 x 10-10 M
