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

1. If the atomic number of an element is 6 and its mass number is 14, how many neutrons are contained in the nucleus?
Iteru [2.4K]

You can find the neutrons by subtracting the mass by the atomic number. 14-6=8 neutrons

Liquid Q is a polar solvent and liquid R is a nonpolar solvent. On the basis of this information, you would expect:
bearhunter [10]
4) is correct
This is because water is polar and it will mix with a polar solvent. A good rule for remembering the behavior of non-polar and polar compounds when it comes to being miscible is that "like dissolves like."

Use the balanced equation from number four above to determine the limiting reactant if we had a mixture of 5.0 moles of Fe and 4
Tom [10]

Answer:

2Fe + 3O₂  →  2Fe₂O₃

Limiting reactant: O₂

2Fe + O₂ → 2FeO

Limiting reactant: Fe

Explanation:

2Fe + 3O₂  →  2Fe₂O₃

2Fe + O₂ → 2FeO

These are the possible reactions:

In first case, 2 moles of Fe need 3 mol of oyxgen to react

If I have 5 moles of Fe, I will need (5 .3)/2 = 7.5 moles of O₂

Then, the oxygen is my limiting ( I only have 4 moles)

3 moles of O₂ need 2 moles of Fe

If I have 4 moles of O₂, I will need (4 .2)/3 = 2.66 moles (I have 5)

Fe, is the reactant in excess.

For second case, 2 moles of Fe need 1 mol of O₂, to react.

If I have 5 moles of Fe, I will need ( 5 .1) / 2 =2.5 moles of O₂

I have 4 moles of oxygen, so now it is my excess.

1 mol of O₂ need 2 moles of Fe, to react

If I have 4 moles of O₂, I will need the double of amount, 8 moles of Fe.

I have 5 moles, then the Fe is my limtiing reactant.

A rock weighing 15.0g is placed in a graduated cylinder, displacing the volume from 25.0 mL to 36.2 mL. What is the density of t
valina [46]
Density is defined as mass/volume, and the volume is 36.2-25 mL
so just substitute into the equation to get the answer. 

Hope this helps.
