Answer:

320 g  

Step-by-step explanation:

The half-life of Co-63 (5.3 yr) is the time it takes for half of it to decay.  

After one half-life, half (50 %) of the original amount will remain.  

After a second half-life, half of that amount (25 %) will remain, and so on.  

We can construct a table as follows:  

  No. of               Fraction         Mass

half-lives   t/yr   Remaining   Remaining/g

      0        0              1

      1         5.3           ½

     2        10.6           ¼

     3        15.9           ⅛                 40.0

     4        21.2           ¹/₁₆

We see that 40.0 g remain after three half-lives.

This is one-eighth of the original mass.

The mass of the original sample was 8 × 40 g = 320 g

If the pOH of a nitric acid (HNO3) solution is measured as 11, what is the concentration of HNO3 solution?
Illusion [34]

1 gram of HNO3 will be equal to 1/63.01 moles. Therefore, we can say that 1 liter of Nitric acid contains 15.6976 moles or in other words molarity of 70% (w/w) Nitric acid is equal to 15.6976 M.

Known values  

Molecular weight of HNO3 63.01 g/mole

Concentration of Nitric acid 70% (% by mass, wt/wt)

In the background, you were given the reactions for the fermentation of glucose to ethanol in the production of wine from grapes
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Kombucha is a Symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY), similar to mother of vinegar, containing one or more specie each of bacteria and yeast which is added to sweet tea, which jump start two processes take place. First, alcoholic fermentation during which the yeast convert sugars to alcohol under controlled conditions. After that, the bacteria converts most of this alcohol into acetic, gluconic and glucoronic and other organic acids. during both of this processes, the yeast and bacteria, feast and multiply, yielding an end beverage that is rich in variety of micro organisms and healthy acids. Source: Health-Ade.com/blog/blog/what-is-fermentation

the products formed is more rich than those of the fermentation of grapes because it is a symbiotic fermentation of yeast and bacteria

Explanation:

Kombucha is fermented slightly alcoholic, lightly effervescent sweetend black or green tea, commonly consumed for its health benefits sometimes the beverage is called kombucha tea to distinguish it from the cultures of bacteria and yeast. Kombucha is thought to have originated in manchuria where the drink is traditionally consumed or in Russia and Eastern Europe.

In the laboratory you dilute 5.32 mL of a concentrated 6.00 M perchloric acid solution to a total volume of 100 mL. What is the
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

0.3192 M

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Volume of stock solution (V1) = 5.32 mL Molarity of stock solution (M1) = 6 M

Volume of diluted solution (V2) = 100 mL

Molarity of diluted solution (M2) =?

We can obtain the molarity of the diluted solution by using the dilution formula as shown follow:

M1V1 = M2V2

6 × 5.32 = M2 ×100

31.92 = M2 × 100

Divide both side by 100

M2 = 31.92 / 100

M2 = 0.3192 M

Therefore, the molarity of the diluted solution is 0.3192 M.

At a consent tempture the pressure on a 2.5 l ballon is increased from 2.4 atm to 5.8 atm. what is the new volume?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

1.034 L

Explanation:

P1 V1 = P2 V2

P1 V1 / P2 = V2

2.4 (2.5) / 5.8 = V2 = 1.034 L
