Answer:

54 days

Explanation:

We have to use the formula;

0.693/t1/2 =2.303/t log Ao/A

Where;

t1/2= half-life of phosphorus-32= 14.3 days

t= time taken for the activity to fall to 7.34% of its original value

Ao=initial activity of phosphorus-32

A= activity of phosphorus-32 after a time t

Note that;

A=0.0734Ao (the activity of the sample decreased to 7.34% of the activity of the original sample)

Substituting values;

0.693/14.3 = 2.303/t log Ao/0.0734Ao

0.693/14.3 = 2.303/t log 1/0.0734

0.693/14.3 = 2.6/t

0.048=2.6/t

t= 2.6/0.048

t= 54 days

How many moles are in 3.00x 10^22 atoms of He?
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

<h2>0.05 moles</h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L} \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{3.0 \times  {10}^{22} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }  \\  = 0.049833...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.05 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

In Europe, gasoline efficiency is measured in km/L. If your car’s gas mileage is 25.0 mi/gal, how many liters of gasoline would
Deffense [45]

Answer:

V=23.5L

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, it is convenient to compute the car's mileage in km/L as follows:

25.0\frac{mi}{gal}*\frac{1km}{0.6214mi}*\frac{1gal}{3.78L}=10.64\frac{km}{L}

In such a way, since the distance is measured to be 250 km, the volume requirement is:

V=\frac{250km}{10.64kg/L}\\ \\V=23.5L

Regards.

describe in general terms an experiment to determine the molal freezing point depression constant kf of water. Assume the availa
Dvinal [7]
A solution (in this experiment solution of NaNO₃) freezes at a lower temperature than does the pure solvent (deionized water). The higher the solute concentration (sodium nitrate), freezing point depression of the solution will be greater.
Equation describing the change in freezing point: 
ΔT = Kf · b · i.
ΔT - temperature change from pure solvent to solution.
Kf - the molal freezing point depression constant.
b -  molality (moles of solute per kilogram of solvent).
i - Van’t Hoff Factor.
First measure freezing point of pure solvent (deionized water). Than make solutions of NaNO₃ with different molality and measure separately their freezing points. Use equation to calculate Kf.
