Answer:

B) 10.0 g

Explanation:

<u>Given data:</u>

Half life of the radioactive element = t1/2 = 1 hr

Initial amount, N0 = 40.0 g

Time for radioactive decay. t = 2 hr (12 noon  to 2 P.M)

<u>Formula:</u>

The radioactive decay is expressed mathematically as:

N(t) = N(0)e^{\frac{-0.693t}{t1/2} }

where N(t) is the amount of the element left after time t

Substituting the appropriate vales in the above equation we get:

N(t) = 40.0 * e^{\frac{-0.693*2}{1} } = 10.0 g

Butane (C4H10) is used as a fuel where natural gas is not available. How many grams of butane will fill a 3.50-liter container a
erik [133]
<span>We use the formula PV = nRT. P = 758 torr = 0.997 atm. V = 3.50 L. T = 35.6 C = 308.15 K. R = 0.0821. Rearranging the equation gives up n = PV/Rt and we get .0138 moles of butane. Mass of 0.0138 moles of butane = .0138 x 58.12 = 8.02g.</span>

2.40 g of NH4Cl is added to 19.4 g of water. Calculate the molality of the solution.
Sholpan [36]
Molality is the moles of solute per kg of solvent.

Moles of NH₄Cl = 2.4 / (14 + 4 x 1 + 35.5)
= 0.0448 mole

Molality = 0.0448 / (19.4 / 1000)
= 2.31 m

Given the balanced equation representing a reaction:
sleet_krkn [62]
4Al(s) + 3O2(g) --> 2Al2O3(s)    This is the balanced.
From the equation:

 4 moles of Al required 3 moles of O2 to produce 2 moles of Al2O3
 
3 moles of O2 reacted with 4 moles of Al to produce 2 moles of Al2O3
1 mole of O2 reacted with 4/3 moles of Al to produce 2/3 moles of Al2O3  (Divide by 3)
4.5 moles of O2 reacted with (4/3 *4.5) moles of Al to produce (2/3*4.5) moles of Al2O3

4.5 moles of O2 reacted with 6moles of Al to produce  3moles of Al2O3

(3) is the answer.  6 mol of Al.

Why do some atoms form positive ions and others form negative ions?
Scrat [10]
It is energetically favorable for all atoms to have a complete outer electron shell. Loosely, the atoms on the left hand side of the periodic table only have a few extra electrons in their outer shell so it is energetically favorable for them to lose them. The atoms on the right hand side of the periodic table almost have enough electrons in their outer shell and so they have a tendency to gain them. Once electrons have left an electron shell, an atom will have a positive charge because it has more protons (positive charges) than electrons (negative charges). Similarly, an electron which has gained electrons to complete its outer shell will have a negative charge because it now has more electrons (negative charge) than protons (positive charge).
