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

Identify the chemical reactions as endothermic, exothermic, or neither. An egg cooking: A candle burning: Plaster and water comb
lianna [129]

Answer :

An egg cooking is an endothermic reaction.

A candle burning and Plaster & water combining and becoming warm are exothermic reaction.

Salt being added to water, with no change in temperature neither endothermic nor exothermic reaction.

Explanation :

  • Endothermic reaction : It is a type of reaction in which energy is absorbed in the form of heat from the surroundings.
  • Exothermic reaction : It is a type of reaction in which energy is released in the form of heat from the system.

An egg cooking : In this process, the energy is absorbed in the form of heat.

A candle burning and Plaster & water combining and becoming warm : In both the process, the energy is released in the form of heat.

Salt being added to water, with no change in temperature : In this process, neither energy released nor absorbed.
