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

Which locations are likely to have subatomic particles with the least mass?

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

2 and 3 because there are the protons and neutrons which have a greater mass than the electrons which are found in the locations 1 and 4. The atom contains a nucleus, which is made from protons and neutrons, and electrons which are found around the nucleus. The mass of the atoms is concentrated in the very tiny space represented by the nucleus. Of course the electrons have a mass too, but is very small compared to the protons and neutrons, and we usually neglect its mass.

What volume of ammonia gas, measured at 547.9 mmHg and 27.6oC, is required to produce 8.98 g of ammonium sulfate according to th

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

4.65 L of NH₃ is required for the reaction

Explanation:

2NH₃(g) + H₂SO₄(aq) → (NH₄)₂SO₄(s)

We determine the ammonium sulfate's moles that have been formed.

8.98 g . 1mol / 132.06 g = 0.068 moles

Now, we propose this rule of three:

1 mol of ammonium sulfate can be produced by 2 moles of ammonia

Therefore, 0.068 moles of salt were produced by (0.068 . 29) / 1 = 0.136 moles of NH₃. We apply the Ideal Gases Law, to determine the volume.

Firstly we do unit's conversions:

27.6°C +273 = 300.6 K

547.9 mmHg . 1 atm / 760 mmHg = 0.721 atm

V = ( n . R . T ) / P → (0.136 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 300.6K) / 0.721 atm

V = 4.65 L

Consider the following reversible reaction. What is the equilibrium constant expression for the given system?

ladessa [460]

The question is incomplete. Complete question is attached below
..........................................................................................................................

Answer:
Equilibrium constant (K) is defined as the ratio of concentration of product to concentration of reactant.

For the reaction: 2H2O(g) ↔ 2H2(g) + O2(g)

Equlibrium constant = $\frac{[H_2]^2[O_2]}{[H_20]^2}$

[ ] bracket in above expression indicates concentration.
