The half life of Po-218 is three minutes. How much of a 200 atom sample will remain after 15 minutes

Chemistry

<h3>Answer:</h3>

6.25 atoms

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given</u>;

  • The half life of Po-218 is 3 minutes
  • Initial sample is 200 atom
  • Time of decay is 15 minutes

We are required to calculate the remaining mass after decay;

Half life refers to the time taken for original amount of a radioactive sample to decay to a half.

To calculate the remaining mass we use the formula;

N = N₀ × 0.5^n where n is the number of half lives, N is the new amount and N₀ is the original amount.

n = 15 min ÷ 3 min

  = 5

Therefore;

New amount = 200 atom × 0.5^5

                      = 6.25 atoms

Therefore; the amount of the sample that will remain after 15 minutes is 6.25 atoms.

What does continental drift and sea floor spreading have in common
Llana [10]

In the early 1900s, a scientist named Alfred Wegener noticed how the continents seem to fit together and developed the Theory of Continental Drift. Continental drift is the theory that continents can drift apart from one other and have done so in the past. Wegner's theory also explained why fossils of the same plant and animal species are found on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. In addition similar types of rock and evidence of the same ancient climatic conditions are found on several continents.

Wegner hypothesized that all the separate continents of today were once joined in a single landmass that he called Pangaea.

What is the molecule that formed between B and F?
Alik [6]

Answer:

BF3

Explanation:

For this question, you need to use the number of valence electrons present in each element. Boron is in group 3/13 on the periodic table so you know it has 3 valence electrons while Fluorine is in group 7/17 so it has 7 valence electrons. These elements are both covalent so they will share electrons. All elements in the first three rows want to reach either have 8 valence electrons or zero valence electrons depending on whichever is easier. When B and F interact each Fluorine will only want to take one electron, but Boron wants to get rid of all 3 electrons, so it will bond with 3 Fluorine to get rid of all its valence electrons.

I hope this helps.

3.80 moles of oxygen are used up in the reaction. How many moles of water are produced?5.How many grams of oxygen does it take t
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

2 KClO3 (s) = 2 KCl (s) + 3 O2 (g)

2.5 g x g

Explanation:

x g O2 = 2.5 g KClO3 x (1 mol KClO3) x (3 mol O2) x (32 g O2) = 0.98 g O2

(122.5 g KClO3) (2 mol KClO3) (1 mol O2)

2 KClO3 (s) 2 KCl (s) + 3 O2 (g)

2.5 g x g

x g KCl = 2.5 g KClO3 x (1 mol KClO3) x (2 mol KClO3) x (74.5 g KCl) = 1.52 g KCl

(122.5 g KClO3) (2 mol KClO3) (1 mol KCl)

2 KClO3 (s) 2 KCl (s) + 3 O2 (g)

x mol 10 mol

x mol KClO3 = 10 mol O2 x (2 mol KClO3) = 6.7 mol KClO3

(3 mol O2)

Over-the-counter hydrogen peroxide solutions are 3% (w/v). What is this concentration in moles per liter?
Marina CMI [18]
<span>1 ml of water weighs 1 gram so 1 liter (1000 ml) weighs 1000 grams. A 3% solution (3% = 0.03) of hydrogen peroxide (w/v) would contain 1000 grams x 0.03 or 30 grams. The chemical formula of hydrogen peroxide is H2O2 and a mole weighs 34.0147 grams/mole. So 30 grams of H2O2 divided by 34.0147 grams/mole equals 0.88 moles of H2O2. The concentration of a 3% (w/v) hydrogen peroxide solution therefore contains 30 grams of H202 (or 0.88 moles of H202) per in a liter of water (or 1000 grams H20) would thus be 0.88 moles H2O2 per liter (0.88 moles H2O2/l) .</span>
