there are 1000 meters in one km
Answer:
a) a0 was 46.2 grams
b) It will take 259 years
c) The fossil is 1845 years old
Explanation:
<em>An unknown radioactive substance has a half-life of 3.20hours . If 46.2g of the substance is currently present, what mass A0 was present 8.00 hours ago?</em>
A = A0 * (1/2)^(t/h)
⇒ with A = the final amount = 46.2 grams
⇒ A0 = the original amount
⇒ t = time = 8 hours
⇒ h = half-life time = 3.2 hours
46.2 = Ao*(1/2)^(8/3.2)
Ao = 261.35 grams
<em>Americium-241 is used in some smoke detectors. It is an alpha emitter with a half-life of 432 years. How long will it take in years for 34.0% of an Am-241 sample to decay?</em>
t = (ln(0.66))-0.693) * 432 = 259 years
It will take 259 years
<em>A fossil was analyzed and determined to have a carbon-14 level that is 80% that of living organisms. The half-life of C-14 is 5730 years. How old is the fossil?</em>
<em />
t = (ln(0.80))-0.693) * 5730 = 1845
The fossil is 1845 years old
"As the molecules in a sample move faster the temperature reading will be lower" is not true.
Answer:
33 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles = 5 mol
Mass of compound = 165 g
Molar mass or gram formula mass = ?
Solution:
Formula:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Now we will put the values in formula.
5 mol = 165 g/ gram formula mass
Gram formula mass = 165 g / 5 mol
Gram formula mass = 33 g/mol
