1.1 / 2 = .7 --> 2.86 yrs

.7 / 2 = .45 —> 5.72 yrs

.45 / 2 = .225 —> 8.58 yrs

.225 / 2 = .1125 —> 11.44 yrs

So, for the sample of plutonium to reach .140 mg it should take a little less than 11.44 years.

Hope this helps

How many milliliters of 0.150 M NaOH are required to neutralize 85.0 mL of 0.300 M H2SO4 ? The balanced neutralization reaction
nekit [7.7K]

Answer : The volume of NaOH required to neutralize is, 340 mL

Explanation :

To calculate the volume of base (NaOH), we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is H_2SO_4

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

n_1=2\\M_1=0.300M\\V_1=85.0mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.150M\\V_2=?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

2\times 0.300M\times 85.0mL=1\times 0.150M\times V_2\\\\V_2=340mL

Hence, the volume of NaOH required to neutralize is, 340 mL

What is the pH of a solution with hydroxide ion concentration of 0.005
Julli [10]

Answer:

pH = 11.7

Explanation:

pOH= -log [OH]=-log[0.05]

=2.3

pOH+pH= 14

pH= 14-2.3= 11.7

A mole of one element contains _______ number of atoms as a mole of another element.
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

A mole of one element contains Same number of atoms as a mole of another element.

The atomic mass of an element, that is found on the periodic table, may be used to determine the amount of moles in a system. Typically, this mass represents the average of the element's abundant forms found on earth. The mass of an element is given as the average of all of its earthly isotopes. The molar mass of a material is the weight of a mole of that substance. In chemistry, the molar mass is frequently used in converting grams of a chemical to moles. The periodic table lists an element's molar mass, which is its atomic weight in grams per mole (g/mol).

The average mass of an element's atoms expressed in atomic mass units is known as its atomic mass (amu, also known as daltons, D). The weight of the each isotope is combined by its abundance to get the atomic mass, which is a weighted average of all the isotopes of that element.

What happens in the artificial transmutation of an element? Include an example.
Mice21 [21]
What happens in the artificial transmutation is that the nucleous is bombarded with high energy particles which we can describe as kinetic energy and the idea for them is to induce what we call transmutation. Also what happens is that the high energy particles are accelerated. One of the examples is when nitrogen is transformed into hydrogen by combining its nucleous with an alpha particle
