The half life of radon-222 is 3.8 days. How Much of a 100g sample is left after 15.2 days

Chemistry
1 answer:
professor190 [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:  

6.2 g  

Explanation:  

In a first-order decay, the formula for the amount remaining after <em>n</em> half-lives is  

N = \frac{N_{0}}{2^{n}}  

where  

<em>N</em>₀ and <em>N</em> are the initial and final amounts of the substance  

1. Calculate the <em>number of half-lives</em>.  

If t_{\frac{1}{2}} = \text{3.8 da}  

n = \frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}} = \frac{\text{15.2 da}}{\text{3.8 da}}= \text{4.0}

2. Calculate the <em>final mass</em> of the substance.  

\text{N} = \frac{\text{100 g}}{2^{4.0}} = \frac{\text{100 g}}{16} = \text{6.2 g}

12.<br> An object with a mass of 3 kg has a momentum of 75 kg•m/s. What is the velocity?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

the velocity is 25 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the velocity is shown below:

As we know that

Magnitude of Momentum = (mass) × (speed)

75 kg. m/s = 3 kg × speed

So, the speed is

= 75 ÷ 3

= 25 m/s

hence, the velocity is 25 m/s

During the naval battles of the South Pacific in World War II, the U.S. Navy produced smoke screens by spraying titanium tetrach
hammer [34]

Explanation:

The reaction given is;

TiCl4 + H2O --> TiO2 + HCl

The reaction is not balanced, upon balancing it is given as;

TiCl4 + 2H2O → TiO2 + 4HCl  

a. How many moles of H2O are needed to react with 6.50 moles of TiCl4?

From the reaction;

1 mol of TiCl4 requires 2 mol of H2O

6.50 mol of TiCl4 would require x mol of H2O

1 = 2

6.5 = x

x = 6.5 * 2 / 1 = 13.0 mol

b. How many moles of HCl are formed when 8.44 moles of TiCl4 react?

From the equation of the reaction;

1 mol of TiCl4 reacts to form 4 mol of HCl

8.44 mol of TiCl4 reacts to form x mol of HCl

1 = 4

8.44 = x

x = 8.44 * 4 / 1 = 33.76 mol

How many ants would 6 giant anteaters need to eat in one year to get the matter and energy they need? Write a simple formula to
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

180,000 ants

Explanation:

For this problem we can create the following simple formula to solve this problem...

f(x) = 6x

where the variable x represents the number of ants that a single Anteater needs to eat per day. After a quick online search we can see that a single Anteater eats roughly 30,000 ants per day. If we use this value and plug it into the simple formula we can get the total number of ants 6 anteaters need to eat to survive.

f(x) = 6 * 30,000

f(x) = 180,000
