To find percent composition do "parts over the whole" ---> each individual mass over the total mass times 100 (since it is a percentage). 

total mass ("the whole")= 73.5 + 42.0 + 72.3 grams= 150 grams

1. Carbon %= 73.5 grams/ 150 grams x 100= 49.0%

2. Hydrogen %= 4.20 grams/ 150 grams x 100= 2.80%

3. Chlorine %= 72.3 grams/ 150 grams x 100= 48.2%

In a titration of 0.35 M HCl and 0.35 M NaOH, how much NaOH should be added to 45.0 ml of HCl to completely neutralize the acid?
Bezzdna [24]
It would be the same amount. So, 45 ml of NaOH is required to be added to the 45 ml of HCI to neutralize the acid fully. Here is a brief calculation:

Firstly, here is your formula: M(HCI) x V(HCI) = M(NaOh) x V(NaOH) 
With the values put in: 0.35 x 45 = 0.35 x V(NaOH) 
= 45 ml. 
There is 45 ml of V(NaOH)

Let me know if you need anything else. :)

If we start with 8000 atoms of radium-226 how much would remain after 3200 years?
olya-2409 [2.1K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

2000 atoms

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given the following;

Initial number of atoms of radium-226 as 8000 atoms

Time taken for the decay 3200 years

We are required to determine the number of atoms that will remain after 3200 years.

We need to know the half life of Radium

  • Half life is the time taken by a radio active material to decay by half of its initial amount.
  • Half life of Radium-226 is 1600 years
  • Therefore, using the formula;

Remaining amount = Original amount × 0.5^n

where n is the number of half lives

n = 3200 years ÷ 1600 years

 = 2

Therefore;

Remaining amount = 8000 atoms × 0.5^2

                                = 8000 × 0.25

                                 = 2000 atoms

Thus, the number of radium-226 that will remain after 3200 years is 2000 atoms.
