Answer:

0.9715 Fraction of Pu-239 will be remain after 1000 years.

Explanation:

\lambda =\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}

A=A_o\times e^{-\lambda t}

Where:

\lambda= decay constant

A_o =concentration left after time t

t_{\frac{1}{2}} = Half life of the sample

Half life of Pu-239 = t_{\frac{1}{2}}=24,000 y[

\lambda =\frac{0.693}{24,000 y}=2.8875\times 10^{-5} y^{-1]

Let us say amount present of  Pu-239 today = A_o=x

A = ?

A=x\times e^{-2.8875\times 10^{-5} y^{-1]\times 1000 y}

A=0.9715\times x

\frac{A}{A_0}=\frac{A}{x}=0.9715

0.9715 Fraction of Pu-239 will be remain after 1000 years.

Your apple juice has a molarity of 3.4 M and a volume of 0.895 litres. What does a student have to do to decrease the molarity t
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

4.285 L of water must be added.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, for this dilution-like problems, we need to figure out the final volume of the resulting solution so that we would be able to obtain the correct volume of diluent (water) to be added. In such a way, we can obtain the final volume, V2, as shown below:

M_1V_1=M_2V_2\\\\V_2=\frac{M_1V_1}{M_2}

Thus, by plugging in the initial molarity, initial volume and final molarity (0.587 M) we obtain:

V_2=\frac{3.4M*0.895 L}{0.587M}\\\\V_2=5.18L

It means we need to add:

V_{H_2O} ^{added}=5.18L-0.895L=4.285L

Of diluent water.

Regards!
