Answer:

6.3g of the 100g sample will be left after 15.2years

Explanation:

Half life is defined as the time taken by a radioactive substance to decay or reduce to half if its original value.

Mathematically, t1/2 = 0.693/¶ where ¶ is the decay constant.

Firstly, we need to get the decay constant using the formula for half life.

Given half life of radon (t1/2) = 3.8days

3.8 = 0.693/¶

¶ = 0.693/3.8

¶ = 0.182

If the initial value (No) if the substance is 100, the final sample (N) after 15.2years of decay can be gotten using the formula

N= Noe^-¶t where

N is the final sample after decay

No is the initial value of the sample

¶ is the decay constant

t is the time taken NY the object to decay

Given No = 100

¶ = 0.182

t = 15.2years

Substituting in the formula to get N we have;

N = 100e^-0.182(15.2)

N = 100e^-2.7664

N = 100×0.063

N = 6.3g

This shows that the initial value of radon would have decay upto 6.3g after 15.3years

Calculate the % composition of the unknown liquid using your most precise result. It is a mixture of ethanol (D[ETOH] = 0.7890 g
Rufina [12.5K]

% composition of ethanol = 34.51%

% composition of water  = 65.49%

<h3>What is density?</h3>

A material's density is defined as its mass per unit volume.

Given data:

The density of ethanol = 0.7890 g/mL

The density of water = 0.9982 g/mL

The density of mixture = 0.926 g/mL

Let the % composition of ethanol = x

Let the % composition of water = 100-x

Now density of the mixture

\frac{Mass}{Volume}

Mass = \frac{percent  \;of  \;ethanol  \;X  \;density  \;of  \;ethanol  \;+  \\ \;percent  \;of  \;water X  \;density  \;of  \;water}{100}

0.926 = \frac{x X  0.7890 g/mL  \;+  (100-x) X  0.9982 g/mL}{100}

x= 34.51 %

Hence,

% composition of ethanol = 34.51%

% composition of water = 65.49%

Explain how a redox reacation involves electrons in the same way that a neutralization reaction involves protons
lidiya [134]
For the neutralization process: an acid acts as a donor and donates protons to the base. On the other hand, the base acts as an acceptor and accepts the transferred protons. In a nutshell, neutralization is mainly proton transfer process.

As for the redox process: the oxidized material usually transfers electrons to the reduced material. In a nutshell, redox is mainly electron transfer process.

The new trend will probably be the technology that's in that certain year. Like the trend in the modern days are all electronics or will have to do with electronics. Hope this helps! :) Pls mark me as the BRAINLIEST!!!
