Nonamiya [84]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Time taken 172.8 years

Explanation:

Given data:

Total amount of strontium-90 = 1000.0 g

Amount left = 15.625 g

Half life of strontium = 28.8 years

Time taken = ?

Solution:

Number of half lives:

At time zero = 1000.0 g

At first half life = 1000.0g/2 = 500 g

At second half life = 500 g/2 = 250 g

At third half life = 250 g/ 2 = 125 g

At 4th half life = 125 g/ 2= 62.5 g

At 5th half life = 62.5 g/2 = 31.25 g

At 6th half life = 31.25 g / 2 = 15.625 g

Time taken:

Time taken = number of half lives × half life

Time taken = 6×28.8 years

Time taken = 172.8 years

You wish to make a 0.285 M hydroiodic acid solution from a stock solution of 12.0 M hydroiodic acid. How much concentrated acid
Inessa05 [86]

The amount, in mL, of the concentrated acid required, would be 1.1875 mL

<h3>Dilution</h3>

From the dilution equation:

m1v1=m2v2 where m1 and m2 = molarity before and after dilution, and v1 and v2 = volume before and after dilution.

m2 = 0.285M, m1 = 12.0M v2 = 50.0 mL

v1 = m2v2/m1 = 0.285x50/12 = 1.1875 mL

Thus, 1.1875 mL of the acid would be taken and diluted with water up to the 50 mL mark.

Hello, what’s the difference between oxidation and oxidising agents?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

An oxidising agent oxidises something else. Oxidation is loss of electrons (OIL RIG). That means that an oxidising agent takes electrons from that other substance.
