Answer:

0.625 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of radon-222 = 3.8 days

Total mass of sample = 10 g

Mass left after 15.2 days = ?

Solution:

Number of half lives = T elapsed / Half life

Number of half lives = 15.2 / 3.8

Number of half lives = 4

At time zero = 10 g

At first half life = 10 g/2 = 5 g

At 2nd half life = 5 g/ 2= 2.5 g

At third half life = 2.5 g/2 = 1.25 g

At 4th half life = 1.25 g/2 = 0.625 g

2. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mandates that all vinegar sold in the United States must have a minimum concentration
Scilla [17]

Answer:

The minimum molarity of acetic acid in vinegar according to given standards is 0.6660 mol/L.

Explanation:

4% acetic acid by mass means that 4 gram of acetic acid in 100 g solution.

Given that density of the vinegar is same is that of water =  1 g/mL

Mass of the vinegar solution = 100 g

Volume of the vinegar solution = V

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

1 g/mL=\frac{100 g}{V}

V = 100 mL = 0.1 L

Moles of acetic acid =\frac{4 g}{60.052 g/mol}=0.0666 mol

Molarity=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution(L)}}

M=\frac{0.0666 mol}{0.1 L}=0.6660 mol/L

The minimum molarity of acetic acid in vinegar according to given standards is 0.6660 mol/L.

Assume that your electrical power company gets its energy from a hydroelectric dam. Outline all of the energy changes that occur
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

This isn't chemistry. Its physics. Kinetic energy (water) to electric energy (dam) as the hydroelectric dam works. Then, as the current travels from the plant to your crib, electric energy to heat energy (wire resistance). Then when you are using the dryer electric energy to heat energy (hot air) and sound energy (air particles vibrate due to the heat energy).

Why is accurate body measurement important in dressmaking​
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Without taking body measurements, the fabric material can run out of supply if the tailor uses it too much. And more material is required to fix small dresses or suits. So when body measurements are taken accurately, the tailor will know the exact amount of material to be used.
