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

g The first step in the process is to calibrate the grating, so we know the grating spacing (the distance between the openings i

Trava [24]

Answer:

The grating spacing is $d = 1055nm$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength is $\lambda = 590 nm = 590 *10^{-9}m$

The angle is $\theta = 34^0$

The order of the spectrum is $n = 1$

Generally in grating grating the condition for maxima to occur is

$d sin \theta = n \lambda$

where d is the grating spacing

making d the subject of the formula

$d = \frac{\lambda }{sin \theta }$

Substituting values

$d = \frac{590 * 10^{-9}}{sin (34)}$

$d = 1055nm$

identify the precipitate(s) of the reaction that occurs when a silver nitrate solution is mixed with a sodium chloride solution.

zlopas [31]

The precipitate of reaction that occurs when silver nitrate solution is mixed with sodium chloride solution is of silver chloride (AgCI).

The chemical equation for this precipitation reaction is as following:

AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) --> AgCl(s) [precipitate]+NaNO3(aq)

Silver Chloride is a chemical compound which is poorly soluble in water because the chemical bond between Ag+ and Cl is very strong as the two ions are nearly the same size and have similar electronic densities.
If the chemical bond is strong, it is difficult for water molecules to break this bond to surround the individual ions, thus solubility will decrease.
