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.

What is the concentration of hydronium ion in a 0.121 M HCl solution?
kogti [31]

Answer:

C) 0.121 M

Explanation:

HCl + H₂O = H₃O⁺ + OH⁻

.121M              .121M

HCl is a strong acid . It will dissociate almost 100 % so the concentration of acid and hydronium ion formed will be equal . It is to be noted that hydronium ion is formed due to association of H⁺ and H₂O . H⁺ is formed due to ionisation of HCl .

So concentrtion of hydronium ion ( H₃O⁺ ) will be .121 M.

A full bottle of water was left outside overnight in freezing temperatures, causing the bottle to crack. No mass was added or re
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:The correct answer is option C.

Explanation;

Water has unique property that is, it expands on freezing.Which is the reason for less density of ice than water. The cracking of the bottle was due to the expansion of water (present inside the bottle) on freezing.

Generally, density is inversely proportional to the volume of the substance.

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

Density\propto \frac{1}{Volume}

As we know ,that water expands on freezing which means that volume increases. And with increase in volume of density decreases.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Which best describes the relationship between the terms frequency, wavelength, and hertz?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Frequency is the number of wavelengths, which is measured in hertz.

Explanation:

Frequency is the number of waves that go through a fixed point at a particular time. Hertz is the SI unit for frequency which means that one hertz is equal to a unit number of waver passes in a unit time to a fixed point.

As the frequency of a wave increases which means the number of waves increases in the unit time, the shorter the wavelength will be.

a higher frequency wave has more energy than a lower frequency wave with the same amplitude.

A slow chemical reaction will have...
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Ay high concentration of reactants

Explanation:

To slow down a reaction, you need to do the opposite. Factors that can affect rates of reactions include surface area, temperature, concentration, and the presence of catalysts and inhibitors. ... Concentration - another way to increase the rate of a chemical reaction is to increase the concentration of the reactants.
