<h3>Answer:</h3>
18.75 grams
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
- Half-life refers to the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half of the original mass.
- In this case, the half-life of element X is 10 years, which means it takes 10 years for a given mass of the element to decay by half of its original mass.
- To calculate the amount that remained after decay we use;
Remaining mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half-lives
Number of half-lives = Time for the decay ÷ Half-life
= 40 years ÷ 10 years
= 4
Therefore;
Remaining mass = 300 g × (1/2)⁴
= 300 g × 1/16
= 18.75 g
Hence, a mass of 300 g of an element X decays to 18.75 g after 40 years.
Answer:
Coal is layered because it is a type of sedimentary rock
Explanation:
A chemical formula shows the kinds and numbers of <u>atoms</u> in the smallest representative unit of a substance.
<u>Explanation:</u>
In chemistry, a formula unit is the empirical formula of "ionic or covalent network solid compound" that is used as an independent entity for "stoichiometric calculations". This formula is a representation of a molecule that uses chemical symbols.
The unit is the lowest whole number ratio of ions represented in an ionic compound. It gives the numbers of atoms representing the "smallest representative" unit of a substance. The number of atoms also tells us about the chemical and physical properties of the compound formed.
Answer: a + 2
Explanation: Alkali Earths or Group II has an ionization charge of a + 2. Alkali Metals have a ionization a + 1. Halogens or cold elements have a ionization of a +3.
Answer:
343.98 nm is the longest wavelength of radiation with enough energy to break carbon–carbon bonds.
Explanation:
A typical carbon–carbon bond requires 348 kJ/mol=348000 J/mol
Energy required to breakl sigle C-C bond:E
where,
E = energy of photon
h = Planck's constant = 
c = speed of light = 
= wavelength of the radiation
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the energy of the photons.
343.98 nm is the longest wavelength of radiation with enough energy to break carbon–carbon bonds.
