Given:

Half life(t^ 1/2) :30 years

A0( initial mass of the substance): 200 mg.

Now we know that

A= A0/ [2 ^ (t/√t)]

Where A is the mass that remains after t years.

A0 is the initial mass

t is the time

t^1/2 is the half life

Substituting the given values in the above equation we get

A= [200/ 2^(t/30) ] mg


Thus the mass remaining after t years is [200/ 2^(t/30) ] mg

How many moles of KNO3 are needed to make 600 ml of a 1.3M solution?
ludmilkaskok [199]
M = n / V

Where, M is molarity (M or mol/L), n is number of moles of the solute (mol) and V is volume of the solution (L).

Here the solute is KNO₃.
 The given molarity is 1.3 M
 This means 1L of solution has 1.3 moles of KNO₃.

Hence moles in 600 mL = 1.3 M x 0.6 L = 0.78 mol

Therefore to make 1.3 M KNO₃ solution, needed moles of KNO₃ is 0.78 mol

A scientist is trying to determine whether a certain substance is radioactive. Which question would be most helpful to ask?
oksian1 [2.3K]
Well a question to ask would be if the mass of the material has changed significantly as that would determine that the substance is radioactive or if there have been any high readings found by a Geiger meter in certain period of time

hope that helps

What are the relationships between temperature and viscosity of water?
iris [78.8K]

Explanation:

Both cohesion and molecular interchange contribute to liquid viscosity. The impact of increasing the temperature of a liquid is to reduce the cohesive forces while simultaneously increasing the rate of molecular interchange. The former effect causes a decrease in the shear stress while the latter causes it to increase.

temperature?

The viscosity of liquids decreases rapidly with an increase in temperature, and the viscosity of gases increases with an increase in temperature. Thus, upon heating, liquids flow more easily, whereas gases flow more sluggishly.
