Exponential decay is a very common process especially when we are talking about radioactive materials. So, there is already a common formula for this type of behavior which is written below:

A = Pe^-rt
where
A is the amount left after time t
P is the initial amount at t=0
r is the rate

Substituting the values,
A = (9575 kg)(e^-0.12*5)
<em>A = 5,254.87 kg</em>

What is the pressure of 0.33 moles of nitrogen gas, if its volume is 15.0 L at –25.0oC?
musickatia [10]

Using the ideal gas law PV =nRTPV=nRT , we find that the pressure will be P =\frac{nRT}{V}P=

V

nRT

​

 . Then, we'll substitute and find the pressure, using T = -25 °C = 248.15 K and R = 0.0821 \frac{atm\cdot L}{mol \cdot K}

mol⋅K

atm⋅L

​

 :

P =\frac{nRT}{V} = \frac{(0.33\,\cancel{mol})(0.0821\frac{atm\cdot \cancel{L}}{\cancel{mol \cdot K}})(248.15\,\cancel{K})}{15.0\,\cancel{L}} = 0.4482\,atmP=

when 45 grams of copper (ii) carbonate are decomposed with heat how many grams of carbon dioxide will be produced
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

16.02 g

Explanation:

the balanced equation for the decomposition of CuCO₃ is as follows

CuCO₃ --> CuO + CO₂

molar ratio of CuCO₃ to CO₂ is 1:1

number of CuCO₃ moles decomposed - 45 g / 123.5 g/mol = 0.364 mol

according to the molar ratio

1 mol of CuCO₃ decomposes to form 1 mol of CO₂

therefore 0.364 mol of  CuCO₃ decomposes to form 0.364 mol of CO₂

number of CO₂ moles produced - 0.364 mol

therefore mass of CO₂ produced - 0.364 mol x 44 g/mol = 16.02 g

16.02 g of CO₂ produced

What are lower and higher energy levels.
kozerog [31]

Answer:

If an atom, ion, or molecule is at the lowest possible energy level, it and its electrons are said to be in the ground state. If it is at a higher energy level, it is said to be excited, or any electrons that have higher energy than the ground state are excited

Which metal will be solid at room temperature, but will melt in your hands when you pick it up?
Pachacha [2.7K]
Gallium is the metal that will be solid at room temperature but will melt in the hands when picked up. Gallium is the metal that has the property of melting at a temperature which is just above the room temperature. It is a very rare property of a metal.This property of the metal makes it totally unusable for making anything. This is a metal that can only be used for doing certain tricks for making people laugh and happy.
