TLDR: the answer is C. 0.875.

The basis of this problem is testing your fluency with half-life radioactive decay. The half-life of any radioactive substance represents the amount of time required for 1/2 of the amount of the substance to decay. So, if you had a 100 g sample of Carbon-14, after 5,730 years, only 50 g of Carbon-14 would remain; the other 50 g of substance would have decayed into another substance (Nitrogen-14). If another 5,730 years passes, only 25 g would remain, as half of that 50 g radioactive substance would have decayed.

In the problem, 28 g of Carbon-14 decays as 28,650 years passes, which, when divided by 5,730, yields a value of 5. This number represents the number of half lives that passes during this time. So, over the course of this time, the amount of radioactive substance is cut in half five times.

28 g - 14 g (1 HL) - 7 g (2 HL) - 3.5 (3 HL) - 1.75 g (4 HL) - 0.875 g (5 HL)

After 5 half lives, only 0.875 g of the original 28 g remains.

Answer:

Based on my EXPLAIN i think the answer is C.

Explanation: A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the chemical transformation of one set of chemical substances to another. Classically, chemical reactions encompass changes that only involve the positions of electrons in the forming and breaking of chemical bonds between atoms, with no change to the nuclei (no change to the elements present), and can often be described by a chemical equation. Nuclear chemistry is a sub-discipline of chemistry that involves the chemical reactions of unstable and radioactive elements where both electronic and nuclear changes can occur.

An electrochemical cell is made up of two half-cells connected by a salt bridge and an external conductor. What is the function
n200080 [17]
The salt bridge prevents the direct mixing of one half-cell solution with the other and allows ions to migrate from one half-cell to another.

A sample of water (88 grams) had a temperature change of 6.0 ℃. What was the heat change of this sample? (q = m c ΔT, c = 4.18 J
jeka94

Answer:

Q=2209J

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the heat involved during a heating process is computed in terms of mass, specific heat and temperature change as shown below:

Q=mC\Delta T

Thus, since the heated mass of water was 88 g, the specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g°C and the temperature change is 6.0 °C, we can compute the heat as shown below:

Q=88g*4.184\frac{J}{g\°C}*6.0\°C \\\\Q=2209J

Best regards!

I am new to Chemistry. How would I figure the density of mercury if 205ml has a mass of 2790g
Sati [7]
Density=mass/volume. Put the mass (2790g) over the volume (205mL)

Density= 2790g/205mL
Your answer should be in g/mL.
Hope this helped! :)
