The number of particles (molecules, atoms, compounds, etc.) per mole of a substances is known as Avagadro number. It is equal to 6.022×10^23 mol-1 and is expressed as NA.


Number of moles is the amount of a substance that contains as many particles as there are atoms in 12 grams of pure carbon-12. So, 1 mol contains 6.022×10^23 elementary entities of the substance. Since 6.022 x 10^23 is the Avagadro number, one mole is equal to Avagadro number.


One mole of a substance is the ratio of mass of the substance by the molecular mass of the substance. Thus the mass of one mole of a substance is equal to the substance's molecular weight. Thus one mole of a substance is the atomic mass unit of a substance and since one mole is equivalent to the Avagadro number,we can conclude that one Avagadro number is one atomic mass unit of the substance.

If this decay has a half life of 2.60 years, what mass of 72.5 g of sodium 22 will remain after 15.6 years
Vlad1618 [11]

Sodium-22 remain : 1.13 g

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.  

Usually, radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.  

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{T/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

T = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

half-life = t 1/2=2.6 years

T=15.6 years

No=72.5 g

\tt Nt=72.5.\dfrac{1}{2}^{15.6/2.6}\\\\Nt=72.5.\dfrac{1}{2}^6\\\\Nt=1.13~g

Holly has an unknown substance in a beaker. she wants to determine the relative ph of the unknown substance. she places a piece
AURORKA [14]

Blue litmus paper turns red in the presence of an acid. Therefore, it can be assumed that the substance in the beaker is an acid.

Acids have a pH level of less than 7. Consequently, it can be assumed that the substance has a pH level less than 7.
