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

In 1869 he published a table of the elements organized by increasing atomic mass.

Mendeleev is called the "father of the modern periodic table

stated that if the atomic weight of an element caused it to be placed in the wrong group, then the weight must be wrong. (He corrected the atomic masses of Be, In, and U)

was so confident in his table that he used it to predict the physical properties of three elements that were yet unknown.

After the discovery of these unknown elements between 1874 and 1885, and the fact that Mendeleev's predictions for Sc, Ga, and Ge were amazingly close to the actual values, his table was generally accepted.

However, in spite of Mendeleev's great achievement, problems arose when new elements were discovered and more accurate atomic weights determined.

VashaNatasha [74]

A safety data sheet is informational data that states the properties of the various chemicals. According to the SDS of NaOH, it causes irritation, nausea, eye burn, burns in the digestive system, etc.

<h3>What is SDS?</h3>

SDS is abbreviated for a safety data sheet which is a document that provides information on the chemicals including the properties, health hazards, measures, safety, prevention, etc.

According to SDS, NaOH results in various potential acute health effects including vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, irritation, etc. The chronic effect includes coma, burns in the eye, respiratory infection, digestive system, dermatitis, etc.

Therefore, sodium hydroxide has various acute and chronic health effects.
