61.8 % is the mass percentage of magnesium sulphate.

Explanation:

The mass percent of  individual solute or ion in a compound is calculated by the formula:

Grams of solute ÷ grams of solute + solvent × 100

mass percent of magnesium is calculated as 1 mole of magnesium  having 24.305 grams/mole will have weight of 24.305 grams and 1 mole of MgSO4 will have 120.366 grams

Putting the values in the equation:

24.305 ÷ 144.671 × 100

= 16.8% of magnesium is in the mixture

The mass percentage of SO4 is calculated as

= 96.06 ÷ 216.426  × 100

= 44.38 %

The mass percentage of the mixture MgSO4 is 44.38 + 16.8 = 61.8  %

Mass percentage is a representation of the concentration of element or elements in a compound.

A sample contains 16 mg of polonium-218. After 12 minutes, the sample will contain 1.0 mg of polonium-218. What is the half life
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Half-life = 3 minutes

Explanation:

Using the radioactive decay equation we can solve for reaction constant, k. And by using:

K = ln2 / Half-life

We can find half-life of polonium-218

Radioactive decay:

Ln[A] = -kt + ln [A]₀

Where:

[A] could be taken as mass of polonium after t time: 1.0mg

k is Reaction constant, our incognite

t are 12 min

[A]₀ initial amount of polonium-218: 16mg

Ln[A] = -kt + ln [A]₀

Ln[1.0mg] = -k*12min + ln [16mg]

-2.7726 = - k*12min

k = 0.231min⁻¹

Half-life = ln 2 / 0.231min⁻¹

<h3>Half-life = 3 minutes</h3>
