Answer:

Considering the half-life of 10,000 years, after 20,000 years we will have a fourth of the remaining amount.

Explanation:

The half-time is the time a radioisotope takes to decay and lose half of its mass. Therefore, we can make the following scheme to know the amount remaining after a period of time:

Time_________________ Amount

t=0_____________________x

t=10,000 years____________x/2

t=20,000 years___________x/4

During the first 10,000 years the radioisotope lost half of its mass. After 10,000 years more (which means 2 half-lives), the remaining amount also lost half of its mass. Therefore, after 20,000 years, the we will have a fourth of the initial amount.

A chemistry teacher adds 50.0 mL of 1.50 M H2SO4 solution to 200 mL of water. What is the concentration of the final solution? A
anygoal [31]

this is a dilution equation where 50.0 mL of 1.50 M H₂SO₄ is taken and added to 200 mL of water.

c1v1 = c2v2

where c1 is concentration and v1 is volume of the concentrated solution

and c2 is concentration and v2 is volume of the diluted solution to be prepared

50.0 mL of 1.50 M H₂SO₄ is added to 200 mL of water so the final solution volume is - 200 + 50.0 = 250 mL

substituting these values in the formula

1.50 M x 50.0 mL = C x 250 mL

C = 0.300 M

concentration of the final solution is A) 0.300 M

Which of the following rules should you follow to balance chemical equations?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

c. add coefficients as needed

Explanation:

A chemical equation is defined as the equation that shows changes in a chemical reaction. A chemical equation consist of reactant and product, reactant is at left side of the arrow and product is at right side of the arrow.

Reactant => Product

While balancing a chemical equation, the basic rule is to balance the coefficient as required. Coefficient represents the number of molecules and is used at front of a chemical symbol. Change in coefficient helps balance the number of atoms or molecules of the substances on both the sides of the arrow.

Subscripts are never allowed to change because it can change the chemical involved in the reaction.

Hence, the correct answer is "c. add coefficients as needed".
