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

  • Glucose and nitrogen(I) oxide are covalent compounds. They do not dissociate in solution.
  • The compounds containing metals are ionic. They produce ions in solution.
  • ZnI₂ and NiI₂ produce twice as many iodide ions as metal ions.

What is the approximate value of the ccc bond angle in ch3ch2ch2oh
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The value of the carbon bond angles are 109.5 °

Explanation:

CH3CH2CH2OH = propanol . This is an alcohol.

All bonds here are single bonds.

Single bonds are sp³- hybdridization type. To be sp3 hybridized, it has an s orbital and three p orbitals : sp³. This refers to the mixing character of one 2s-orbital and three 2p-orbitals. This will  create four hybrid orbitals with similar characteristics.

Sp3- types have angles of 109.5 ° between the carbon - atoms.

This means that the value of the carbon bond angles are 109.5 °

What happens when energy is released during atomic fission
Vesnalui [34]
Nuclear energy is called the energy obtained by the transformation of atomic nuclei, so small and heavy clusters of particles inside the atom. Nuclear energy can be produced in two ways, by cleavage or synthesis of nuclei. Heavy nuclei of radioactive elements such as uranium or plutonium, can be split into two nuclei. By splitting are released from the nucleus of neutrons that collide with other nuclei causing them to split and subsequent emission of neutrons. This is called a chain reaction. The condition calls self-sustaining nuclear reaction is slowing down neutrons. For this purpose, a special substance, called moderator. The neutrons collide with the molecules of the moderator precipitate heating speed while the moderator. The resulting heat heats the water so that a couple who drives a turbine generating electricity. Another way of producing nuclear energy is nuclear fusion, in which nuclei combine to light elements. So far, fusion, however, failed to carry out so that it can be applied to the economy as a source of energy.
