The question is incomplete, here is the complete question.

If we start with 1.000 g of strontium-90, 0.805 g will remain after 9.00 yr. This means that the half-life of strontium-90 is ________ yr.

a. 28.8 b. 30.9 c. 35.4 d. 32.2

Answer :  The half-life of strontium-90 is 28.8 years.

Explanation :

This is a type of radioactive decay and all radioactive decays follow first order kinetics.

First we have to calculate the rate constant.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by :

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = time taken for decay process  = 9.00 year

a = initial amount or moles of the reactant  = 1.000 g

a - x = amount or moles left after decay process  = 0.805 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

k=\frac{2.303}{9.00}\log\frac{1.00}{0.805}

k=0.0241\text{ year}^{-1}

To calculate the half-life, we use the formula :

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

0.0241\text{ year}^{-1}=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

t_{1/2}=28.8\text{ years}

Therefore, the half-life of strontium-90 is 28.8 years.

Answer:

Freezing

Melting

Condensation

Evaporation

Sublimation

Deposition

Explanation:

From the diagram,

(1) Liquid⇒Solid (Freezing)

Freezing: This is the process by through which a substance change from liquid to solid.

(2) Solid⇒Liquid (Melting)

Melting: This is a process through which a substance change from solid to liquid

(3) Liquid⇒gas (Evaporation)

Evaporation: This is a process through which a substance change from liquid to gas.

(4) gas⇒Liquid (Condensation)

Condensation: This is a process through which a substance change from gas to liquid

(5) Solid⇒gas (Sublimation)

Sublimation: this is a process through which a subtance change from solid to gas

(6) gas⇒solid (Deposition)

Deposition: This is a process through which gas transform into solid.

hydrated CoCl2 is a deep purple color. After being heated for a long time, it turns into its anhydrous form, which is sky blue.
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Physical change

Explanation:

It is a physical change because a physical change involves alteration in physical properties or appearance in color, sizes e.t.c but no new substances is formed. From the question, CoCl2 undergo a physical change because it's physical property which is color changed , its composition is not altered or no new substances is formed during the reaction.
