Cobalt-60, with a half-life of 5.0 days, is used in cancer radiation treatments. A hospital purchases a 30.0g supply of it and s

tores it on a shelf in a closet. The next time a hospital worker grabs the bottle, though, they find that it only contains 3.75 g remaining! Assuming the bottle had never been opened, how long was the bottle sitting on the shelf before the worked grabbed it?

Answer:

Bottle is sitting on the shelf for 15 days.

Explanation:

Given data:

Co-60 half life = 5 days

Total amount = 30.0 g

Amount left = 3.75 g

Time taken = ?

Solution:

AT time zero = 30 g

AT first half life= 30g /2 = 15 g

At 2nd half life = 15 g/ 2 = 7.5 g

At 3rd half life = 7.5 g/2 = 3.75 g

Now we will calculate the sitting time of bottle.

Half life = Time taken / number of half lives

3× 5 days = time taken

Time taken = 15 days

Bottle is sitting on the shelf for 15 days.

Fill in the coefficients that will balance the following reaction: a0NH4Cl + a1Ag3PO4 → a2AgCl + a3(NH4)3PO4
rosijanka [135]
The equation of the reaction before balancing is 
a0NH₄Cl + a1Ag₃PO₄ → a2AgCl + a3(NH₄)₃PO₄
PO₄³⁻ ion is balanced. 
on the left side, theres 1 (NH₄⁺) ion and right side 3 (NH₄⁺) ions. Therefore if we put the coefficient for NH₄Cl, we will obtain the following equation 
3 NH₄Cl + a1Ag₃PO₄ → a2AgCl + a3(NH₄)₃PO₄
3 Ag⁺ ions on the left side and 1 Ag⁺ ion on the right side, so if we put the coefficient of AgCl as 3, following equation obtained 
3 NH₄Cl + a1Ag₃PO₄ → 3 AgCl + a3(NH₄)₃PO₄
Cl⁻ ions are also balanced now, 3 on either side.
a1 and a3 are 1 as those compounds are as it is, so coefficient is 1 for both 


balanced equation is as follows 
3 NH₄Cl + Ag₃PO₄ → 3 AgCl + (NH₄)₃PO₄
coefficients are 
a0 - 3
a1 - 1
a2 - 3
a3 - 1
