<h3>Answer:</h3>

28.52 seconds

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Initial number of atoms of Nitrogen 12,000 atoms

Half-life = 7.13

Number of atoms after decay = 750 atoms

We are required to determine the time taken for the decay.

Note that half life is the time taken for a radioactive isotope to decay to a half of its original amount.

Using the formula;

Remaining amount = Initial amount × (1/2)^n , where n is the number of half lives

In our case;

750 atoms = 12,000 atoms × (1/2)^n

0.0625 = 0.5^n

n = log 0.0625 ÷ log 0.5

n = 4

But, 1 half life =7.13 seconds

Therefore;

Time taken = 7.13 seconds × 4

                  = 28.52 seconds

Therefore, the time taken for 12,000 atoms of nitrogen to decay to 750 atoms is 28.52 seconds

How many moles are there in 990 grams of sugar, C12H22011? (Sig Figs, do not
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Number of moles = 2.89 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of sugar  = ?

Mass of sugar = 990 g

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁:

12× 12 + 22×1.008 + 16×11 = 342.2 g/mol

Number of moles = 990 g / 342.2 g/mol

Number of moles = 2.89 mol

What is the coefficient of Ca(OH)2 in the equation Ca(OH)2 + HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O when balanced using the smallest possible coe
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The coefficient of Ca(OH)2 is 1

Explanation:

Step 1: unbalanced equation

Ca(OH)2 + HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

Step 2: Balancing the equation

On the right side we have 2x N (in Ca(NO3)2 ) and 1x N on the left side (in HNO3). To balance the amount of N on both sides, we have to multiply HNO3 by 2.

Ca(OH)2 + 2HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

On the left side we have 4x H (2xH in Ca(OH)2 and 2x H in HNO3), on the right side we have 2x H (in H2O). To balance the amount of H on both sides, we have to multiply H2O on the right side, by 2.

Now the equationis balanced.

Ca(OH)2 + 2HNO3 = Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O

The coefficient of Ca(OH)2 is 1
