Answer:

4860 years

Explanation:

From

N/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

Where:

No= mass as time t=0

N= mass at time t

t= time

t1/2= half life

0.125/1 = (1/2)^t/1620

1/8 = (1/2)^t/1620

(1/2)^3= (1/2)^t/1620

3= t/1620

t= 3×1620

t= 4860 years

We can calculate years by using the half-life equation. It is expressed as:

A = Ao e^-kt

<span>where A is the amount left at t years, Ao is the initial concentration, and k is a constant.

</span>From the half-life data, we can calculate for k.

1/2(Ao) = Ao e^-k(1620)
<span>k = 4.28 x 10^-4
</span>
0.125 = 1 e^-<span>4.28 x 10^-4 (</span>t)
t = 4259 years

Consider a 1260-kg automobile clocked by law-enforcement radar at a speed of 85.5 km/h. If the position of the car is known to w
-BARSIC- [3]
The expected speed is v = 85.5 km/h
 v = 85.5 km/h = (85.5 km/h)*(0.2778 (m/s)/(km/h)) = 23.75 m/s

If there is an uncertainty of 2 meters in measuring the position, then within a 1-second time interval:
The lower measurement for the speed is v₁ = 21.75 m/s,
The upper measurement for the speed is v₂ = 25.75 m/s.
The range of variation is
Δv = v₂ - v₁ = 4 m/s

The uncertainty in measuring the speed is
Δv/v = 4/23.75 = 0.1684 = 16.84%

Answer: 16.8%

maksim [4K]

The fraction of the original amount remaining is closest to 1/128

<h3>Determination of the number of half-lives</h3>
  • Half-life (t½) = 4 days
  • Time (t) = 4 weeks = 4 × 7 = 28 days
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 28 / 4

n = 7

<h3>How to determine the amount remaining </h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 100 g
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 7
  • Amount remaining (N)=?

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

N = 100 / 2⁷

N = 0.78125 g

<h3>How to determine the fraction remaining </h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 100 g
  • Amount remaining (N)= 0.78125 g
  • Fraction remaining =?

Fraction remaining = N / N₀

Fraction remaining = 0.78125 / 100

Fraction remaining = 1/128

dsp73

Answer:

Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) —> AgCl(s)

Explanation:

2AgNO3(aq) + CaCl2(aq) —>2AgCl(s) + Ca(NO3)2(aq)

The balanced net ionic equation for the reaction above can be obtained as follow:

AgNO3(aq) and CaCl2(aq) will dissociate in solution as follow:

AgNO3(aq) —> Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq)

CaCl2(aq) —> Ca2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)

AgNO3(aq) + CaCl2(aq) –>

2Ag+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) + Ca2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) —> 2AgCl(s) + Ca2+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq)

Cancel out the spectator ions i.e Ca2+(aq) and 2NO3- to obtain the net ionic equation.

2Ag+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) —> 2AgCl(s)

Divide through by 2

Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) —> AgCl(s)

The, the net ionic equation is

Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) —> AgCl(s)
