The radon-222 sample has a half-life of 3.8 days, and we are asked how many times would the mass divide in half after 23 days. First we calculate the amount of times division occurs by taking the number of days and dividing that by the number of days for one half-life to occur: 23/3.8 = 6.05.

We have 198.6 grams of sample, and we are going to divide it in half 6 times to determine how much of it remains after 23 days:
198.6/2 = 99.3 grams
99.3/2 = 49.65 grams
49.65/2 = 24.83 grams
24.83/2 = 12.41 grams
12.41/2 = 6.21 grams
6.21/2 = 3.1 grams

Therefore, we are left with 3.1 grams of radon-222 after 23 days if one half-life equals to 3.8 days.

Substance in which two or more elements are combined in a fixed proportion
Firdavs [7]

Answer: compound

Explanation:

Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.Example: Copper Cu

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: water H_2O

Mixture is a substance which has two or more components which do not combine chemically and do not have any fixed ratio in which they are present. Example: Air

Find the number of CoCl2 units present in a 0.78 mol sample.
stich3 [128]

\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}

Here we go ~

1 mole of \sf{ COCl_2} has 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of the given compound.

So, 0.78 mole of \sf{COCl_2} will have ~

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: 0.78 \times 6.022 \times 10 {}^{23}

\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:  \approx4.7 \times 10 {}^{23}  \:  \:  \: molecules

Gemiola [76]
We know that domestic dogs are descended from wolves. Exactly when and how this occurred is still being studied; many experts indicate that dogs were first domesticated about 12,000 years ago, but a few DNA studies indicate a much earlier date for the split between the wolf and the dog, perhaps as long ago as 130,000 years. Regardless of the exact timing of the divergence between wolves and dogs, one thing is true: both species display quite a bit of genetic diversity, particularly in size and coloration.In order to breed a dog of a specific size, all one has to do is choose parents with the appropriate variations. For instance, if you want to create a small dog breed, you would just breed the smallest dogs you have, then you would choose their smallest offspring to breed the next generation, and so on until you have reached the desired size.

6) A student measures out 96.21 g of sulfur for an experiment. How many moles of Sulfur are in this
barxatty [35]

Atomic mass of Sulfur = 32g

32g of Sulfur is one mole.

1g of Sulfur is \frac{1}{32} moles

96.21g of Sulfur is \frac{96.21}{32} moles=> 3moles(appx)
