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

How does the law of conservation of energy apply to the changes in potential and kinetic energy of a pencil as it falls to the f
antiseptic1488 [7]

The changes in the energy law of conservation of energy is Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is converted into potential energy.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of energy?</h3>

Law of conservation of energy says that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it just transformed from one form to another.

The energies are kinetic, potential, mechanical, gravitational, electrical, etc.

Thus, the changes in the energy law of conservation of energy is Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is converted into potential energy.

Which property is true for metals
san4es73 [151]

most metals conduct electricity and are very dull to the look. most metals are toxic if eaten and are hard.

aluminum is a type of metal they is softer than the opther and conducts eletricty like a boss.

nickel on the opther hand is also a metal but does not conduct a lot of electricy.

metals can be bent and others can break,

The following reaction occurs in aqueous solution: NH4 + (aq) + NO2 - → N2 (g) + 2H2O (l) The data below is obtained at 25°C.
GREYUIT [131]

Answer: The order with respect to NH_4^+ is 1.

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

NH_4^++NO_2^-\rightarrow N_2+2H_2O

Rate=k[NH_4^+]^x[NO_2^-]^y

k= rate constant

x = order with respect to NH_4^+

y = order with respect to ANO_2^-

n = x+y = Total order

From trial 1: 3.2\times 10^{-3}=k[0.0100]^x[0.200]^y    (1)

From trial 2: 6.4\times 10^{-3}=k[0.0200]^x[0.200]^y    (2)

Dividing 2 by 1 :\frac{6.4\times 10^{-3}}{3.2\times 10^{-3}}=\frac{k[0.0100]^x[0.2000]^y}{k[0.0200]^x[0.200]^y}

2=2^x,2^1=2^x therefore x=  1

Thus order with respect to NH_4^+ is 1.

PLZ ANSWER QUICKLY! The electronegativity values of carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen are compared in the table. Comparison of Elec
andriy [413]

Answer:

c. CH4 < NH3 because the NH bond is more polar than the CH bond.

Explanation:

Actually, the electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen is just about 0.4. This meager difference in electronegativity corresponds to a nonpolar bond between the two atoms.

However, the electronegativity difference between nitrogen and hydrogen is about 0.9. This larger electronegativity difference corresponds to the existence of a polar covalent bond between the two atoms.

Hence the N-H bond is significantly polar unlike the C-H bond. This implies that CH4 molecules are only held together by weak dispersion forces while NH3 molecules are held together by stronger dipole-dipole interactions and hydrogen bonds.
