The table below compares the radioactive decay rates of two materials. Material Original mass of material (in grams) Mass of mat

erial after 21.6 seconds (in grams) 1 100 12.5 2 200 25 Based on the table, which of these conclusions is most likely correct? The half-life of Material 1 and Material 2 are equal. The half-life of Material 2 is double the half-life of Material 1. The half-life of Material 2 is 10.8 seconds more than the half-life of Material 1. The half-life of Material 1 is 10.8 seconds more than the half-life of Material 2.

Answer:

The half-life of Material 1 and Material 2 are equal.

Explanation:

Material 1 disintegrates to half its mass three times in 21.6 s, to go from 100g

to 12.5g. That is,

100g - 50g - 25g - 12.5g

Material 2 disintegrates to half its mass three times in 21.6 s, to go from 200g to 25g. That is,

200g - 50g - 25g - 12.5g.

This means that regardless of their initial masses involved, material 1 and material 2 have equal half-life.

Their half-life is 21.6 ÷ 3 = 7.2 sec

PLEASE PLEASE HELP<br> Calculate the mass of 3.4 moles of nitric acid (HNO3)
Elza [17]
Molar mass of nitric acid (HNO3) =atomic mass of hydrogen + atomic mass of nitrogen +3x atomic mass of oxygen . The molar mass of nitric acid (HNO3) is 63.0144 gram per mole, but you have 3.4 moles. Therefore; the answer is 63.0144 g/mole x 3.4 moles = 214.24896 grams.

A galvanic^cell consists of left ompartmcnt with a tin elcctrode in contact with 0.1 M Sn(NO_3)_2(aq) and a right compartment wi
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Electrons will flow from left to right through the wire.

Pb^2+ ions will be reduccd to Pb metal.

The concentration of Sn2+ ions in the left compartment will increase.

Explanation:

Looking at the relative electrode potentials of the two metals

Sn= -0.14

Pb=-0.13

Tin is expected to function as the anode (left hand half cell) and lead as the anode (right hand half cell) tin oxidizes to sn^2+ hence its concentration increases on the left compartment while lead is reduced to ordinary lead metal on the right hand half cell . since oxidation occurs on the left hand side, electrons flow from left to right.

How many moles of MgS2O3 are in 223 g of the compound
Alexxandr [17]
Moles of MgS2O3 = 223/molar mass of MgS2O3
    
                              =   223/136.42 
                              =     1.634 moles.

Hope this helps!
