A radioisotope has a half-life of 12 days. If a sample is measured to contain 5 grams of radioisotope, how much time has passed

if the sample originally measured 160 grams of radioisotope?​

60 days have passed. In every 12 days the radioisotope loses half of its life. So in the first 12 days, from 160 grams it decreases to half so it becomes 80 grams. The second 12 days, from 80 grams, it decreases to half and becomes 40 g. The third 12 days, from 40 it becomes half to 20 g. The fourth 12 days, from 20 g it becomes half to 10 g. And in the fifth 12 days, from 10 g it becomes half to 5 grams. So 5 times it became half.
5 x 12 ( days)= 60 days

Which substance cannot be decomposed by a chemical change?
coldgirl [10]

Copper substance cannot be decomposed by a chemical change.

<h3 />
  • When heated, the copper to carbonate breaks down into copper to oxide. The copper carbonate, which is dark in colour, releases carbon dioxide as well.Because they are the simplest chemically, elements cannot be broken down by chemical processes.

  • Elements are those pure compounds that cannot be broken down by reactions, heating, electrolysis, or other common chemical processes. Examples of elements are oxygen, gold, and silver. Its makeup stays the same, though.  One instance of a physical change is melting.  A physical change is when a sample of matter experiences a change in some of its qualities but not in its identity. Water turns into water vapour when it is heated.

Answer:

67.1%

Explanation:

Based on the chemical equation, if we determine the moles of sodium carbonate, we can find the moles of NaHCO₃ that reacted and its mass, thus:

<em>Moles Na₂CO₃ - 105.99g/mol-:</em>

6.35g * (1mol / 105.99g) = 0.0599 moles of Na₂CO₃ are produced.

As 1 mole of sodium carbonate is produced when 2 moles of NaHCO₃ reacted, moles of NaHCO₃ that reacted are:

0.0599 moles of Na₂CO₃ * (2 moles NaHCO₃ / 1 mole Na₂CO₃) = 0.1198 moles of NaHCO₃

And the mass of NaHCO₃ in the sample (Molar mass: 84g/mol):

0.1198 moles of NaHCO₃ * (84g / mol) = 10.06g of NaHCO₃ were in the original sample.

And percent of NaHCO₃ in the sample is:

10.06g NaHCO₃ / 15g Sample * 100 =
