Radioactive cobalt-60 is frequently used in treating cancer. It took 24 years for a 10 gram sample to decay to 0.625 grams. What
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Half life is 6 years.

Explanation:

T½ = In2 / λ

Where λ = decay constant.

But N = No * e^-λt

Where N = final mass after a certain period of time

No = initial mass

T = time

N = 0.625g

No = 10g

t = 24 years

N = No* e^-λt

N / No = e^-λt

λ = -( 1 / t) In N / No (inverse of e is In. Check logarithmic rules)

λ = -(1 / 24) * In (0.625/10)

λ = -0.04167 * In(0.0625)

λ = -0.04167 * (-2.77)

λ = 0.1154

T½ = In2 / λ

T½ = 0.693 / 0.1154

T½ = 6.00 years.

The half life of radioactive cobalt-60 is 6 years

A hydrate of CuSO4 has a mass of 12.98 g before heating. After heating, the mass of the anhydrous compound is found to be 9.70 g
lukranit [14]
Explanation of the strategy: 1) calculate the mass of water and convert to number of moles, 2) convert the mass of anhydrous CuSO4 to moles, and, 3)calculate the mole ratio of water to CuSO4 anhydrous

1) Calculate the mass of water:

mass of water = mass of the hydrate CuSO4 - mass of the anhydrous compound

mass of water = 12.98 g - 9.70 g = 3.28g

2) Calculate the number of moles of water

number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

molar mass of water = 18.01 g/mol

number of moles of water = 3.28 g / 18.01 g/mol = 0.182 mol

3) Calculate the number of moles of CuSO4 anhydrous

number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

molar mass of Cu SO4 = 159.6 g/mol

number of moles of CuSO4 = 9.70g / 159.6 g/mol = 0.0608 moles

4) Calculate the ratio moles of water / moles of CuSO4

ratio = moles of water / moles of CuSO4 = 0.182 / 0.0608 = 2.99 ≈ 3

Therefore the molecular formula is CuSO4 . 3H2O

Name: copper(II) sulfate trihydrate.

Where would you have the least weight?​
Vikki [24]

In a place with no gravity

Explanation:

Weight is a force exerted by a body in the presence of gravity.

        Weight = mass x gravity

Without gravity, there is no force of weight. The more the gravity, the more the weight of a body.

A body will experience weightlessness in a place without no gravity.

Therefore, one will experience the least weight in a place without the pull of gravity.

The pathway by which carbon is transferred from living organisms to the atmosphere is called:
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

cellular respiration

Explanation:

All exergonic processes produced in the cell, through which substances oxidize and chemical energy is released, are grouped under the name of cellular respiration, but to break down an organic molecule the cells employ, mainly dehydrogenations that can be carried carried out in the presence or absence of atmospheric O2 oxygen. There are therefore two types of breathing: aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. The latter also called fermentation.

Aerobic respiration  (oxidative phosphorylation)

- Use molecular O2.

- It degrades glucose to CO2 and H2O

- Exergonic

- Recovers about 50% of chemical energy

- Present in most organisms.

- It uses enzymes located in the mitochondria.

SOMEONE HELP ASAP I NEED TO FIND AN ANSWER
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

A) Q + XZ = X + QZ is a single displacement reaction.

B) Q + Z = QZ is a synthesis reaction

C) QT = Q + T is a decomposition reaction

D) QT + XZ = QZ + XT is double replacement reaction.

Explanation:

A) Q + XZ = X + QZ

This is a single displacement reaction because it is one in which one element is substituted for another one in a compound. In this case X is substituted for Q.

B) Q + Z = QZ

This is a synthesis reaction because Q and z combine to form a single product QZ.

C) QT = Q + T

This is a decomposition reaction because the compound QT breaks down to form 2 simpler substances Q and T.

D) QT + XZ = QZ + XT

Thus is a double replacement reaction because QT and XZ have exchanged cations to form new compounds QZ and XT
