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

Increase, because you need heat to melt a solid to a liquid, so the temperature will have to get greater.

A sample of aluminum is placed in a 25-ml graduated cylinder containing 10.0 ml of water. the level of the water rises to 18.0 m
OLga [1]
To determine the mass of the sample, first find the volume difference after and before the aluminum was placed, the volume change is equal to the volume of the submerged object, in this case aluminum.

Then knowing volume of aluminum and the density of it, we can solve for the mass.

D = m/v

Dv = m

2.7 g/ml • 8 ml = 21.6 grams.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer: 2NaNO_3(aq)+(CH_3COO)_2Pb(aq)\rightarrow 2CH_3COONa(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)

Explanation: A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place.

The compounds which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.

Thus the exchange of ions take place and all the compounds are soluble so the chemical formulas are followed by the symbol (aq).

What is the molar mass of an element?
Vesnalui [34]

The answer is: the mass of 6.02 x 1023 representative particles of the element.

The base SI unit for molar mass is kg/mol, but chemist more use g/mol (gram per mole).

For example, molar mas of ammonia is 17.031 g/mol.

M(NH₃) = Ar(N) + 3 · Ar(H) · g/mol.

M(NH₃) = 14.007 + 3 · 1.008 · g/mol.

M(NH₃) = 17.031 g/mol.

The molar mass (M) is the mass of a given substance (in this example ammonia) divided by the amount of substance.
