A sample of Francium-212 will decay to one sixteenth of its original amount after 80 minutes. What is the half-life of Francium-

212.
Chemistry
1 answer:
lbvjy [14]3 years ago

20 minutes.

The sample would lose one half the quantity of francium in each half-life.

1/16 = 1/2^{4} = 1/2 \times1/2 \times1/2 \times1/2

Thus a mass decrease by a factor of 16 would correspond to a period of four half-lives. It took 80 minutes for the sample to lose all these francium, therefore

t_{1/2} = 80/4 = 20 minutes.

Vinegar is a solution of acetic acid (the solute) in water (the solvent) with a solution density of 1010 g/L. If vinegar is 0.80
Damm [24]

Answer:

4.8 %

Explanation:

We are asked the concentration in % by mass, given the molarity of the solution and its density.

0.8 molar solution means that we have 0.80 moles of acetic acid in 1 liter of solution. If we convert the moles of acetic acid to grams, and the 1 liter solution to grams, since we are given the density of solution, we will have the values necessary to calculate the % by mass:

MW acetic acid = 60.0 g/mol

mass acetic acid (the solute) = 0.80 mol x 60 g / mol = 48.00 g

mass of solution = 1000 cm³ x 1.010 g/ cm³      (1l= 1000 cm³)

                            = 1010 g

% (by mass) = 48.00 g/ 1010 g  x 100 = 4.8 %

soaps do not work well in hard waters. But they can still be effected it large quantities of soap are added to water. Explain wh
zmey [24]
The minerals in hard water react with soap and affect its cleaning capacity. It's still possible to use hard water when washing by using more soap. The additional soap will no longer be affected by the minerals in the water, so they can clean just as effectively, but you'll be wasting more soap this way.

P4O10 -> 4P+5O2 How many moles of phosphorus would be produced if 5.3 mol of P4O10 reacted?
viktelen [127]

Answer:

21.2 moles.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for the given chemical reaction, we can see there is a 1:4 mole ratio between tetraphosphorous decaoxide and phosphorous; therefore, the following proportional factor provides the requested moles of phodphorous:

n_P=5.3molP_4O_{10} *\frac{4molP}{1molP_4O_{10}} \\\\n_P=21.2molP

Best regards!

Which element has the same number of valence electrons as calcium?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Barium has the same number of valence electrons as calcium

Explanation:

Valence electrons is the number of electrons of an atom on the outer shell.

Those valence electrons can participate in the formation of a chemical bond (if the outer shell is not closed); in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.

<u>Calcium</u> is an atom, part of group 2, called the alkaline earth metals. The alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons.

<u>Sulfur </u>is part of a group 16, called the chalcogens or oxygen family. Those atoms have 6 valence electrons. They can form a bound with atoms of group 2 such as calcium, but do not have the same number of valence electrons.

<u>Potassium</u> is part of group 1, called the alkali metals or lithium family. Those atoms have 1 valence electrons. That means  Potassium do not have the same number of valence electrons like calcium.

<u>Neon</u> is part of group 18, the noble gasses. Those are stable atoms, which means they have 8 valence electrons. They do not have the same number of valence electrons like Calcium.

<u>Barium</u> an atom, part of group 2, called the alkaline earth metals. The alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons. Calcium is also part of this group.

This means barium has the same number of valence electrons as Calcium.
