Answer:

After 5th half life the remaining mass is 31.25 g.

Explanation:

Given data:

Total mass of carbon-14 = 1000 g

Mass remain after 5 half lives = ?

Solution:

At time zero = 1000 g

At first half life = 1000 g/2 = 500 g

At second half life =  500 g/ 2= 250 g

At third half life = 250 g/ 2 = 125 g

At 4th half life = 125 g/2 = 62.5 g

At 5th half life = 62.5 g/2 = 31.25 g

Thus after 5th half life the remaining mass is 31.25 g.

What does the law of conservation of energy impy
Rasek [7]
The law of conservation of energy is that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transferred or transformed from one form to another (including transformation into or from mass, as matter). The total amount of energy in a closed system never changes. energy in a system may be transformed so that it resides in a different state.

0.446 g of hydrogen gas fills a 5.0 L bag determine the density of hydrogen
Oduvanchick [21]

The density of hydrogen : ρ = 0.0892 g/L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

mass of Hydrogen : 0.446 g

Volume = 5 L

Required

The density

Solution

Density is a quantity derived from the mass and volume  

Density is the ratio of mass per unit volume  

The unit of density can be expressed in g/cm³, kg/m³, or g/L

Density formula:  

\large {\boxed {\bold {\rho ~ = ~ \frac {m} {V}}}}

Input the value :

ρ = m : V

ρ = 0.446 g : 5 L

ρ = 0.0892 g/L

What is the ionic formula of the compound formed by Co3+ and the phosphorus ion? What is the name of the compound formed based o
klasskru [66]

Answer: The ionic formula of compound is CoP and the name is cobalt phosphide.

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here element Co is having an oxidation state of +3 called as Co^{3+} cation and phosphprous forms P^{3-} anion with oxidation state of -3. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral CoP

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive is written first followed by the oxidation state of metal in roman numerals in square brackets.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

Thus the name of CoP is cobalt phosphide.
