Answer:

the amount present 8 hours ago is Ao = 93.338 g

Explanation:

the radioactive decay is given by

A = Ao * 2^(- t/T)

where T = half-life of the substance , t= time , A= amount of substance at time t , Ao= amount of substance at time 0

therefore at t=8 hours , A=16.5 gr

Ao = A*2^(t/T) = 16.5 g * 2^(8 hours/3.20 hours) = 93.338 g

Ao = 93.338 g

If 0.896 g of a gas occupies a 250 mL flask at 20°C and 760 mm Hg of pressure, what is the molar mass of the gas?​
salantis [7]

Answer:

86.2 g/mol

Explanation:

Before you can find the molar mass, you first need to calculate the number of moles of the gas. To find this value, you need to use the Ideal Gas Law:

PV = nRT

In this equation,

-----> P = pressure (mmHg)

-----> V = volume (L)

-----> n = moles

-----> R = Ideal Gas constant (62.36 L*mmHg/mol*K)

-----> T = temperature (K)

After you convert the volume from mL to L and the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, you can use the equation to find the moles.

P = 760 mmHg                                      R = 62.36 L*mmHg/mol*K

V = 250 mL / 1,000 = 0.250 L              T = 20 °C + 273.15 = 293.15 K

n = ? moles

PV = nRT

(760 mmHg)(0.250 L) = n(62.36 L*mmHg/mol*K)(293.15 K)

190 = n(18280.834)

0.0104 = n

The molar mass represents the mass (g) of the gas per every 1 mole. Since you have been given a mass and mole value, you can set up a proportion to determine the molar mass.

\frac{?grams}{1 mole} =\frac{0.896grams}{0.0104moles}                                      <----- Proportion

?grams(0.0104moles) = 0.896                       <----- Cross-multiply

?grams = 86.2                                               <----- Divide both sides by 0.0104

Helium is the lightest noble gas and the second most abundant element (after hydrogen) in the universe. The mass of a helium−4 a
dmitriy555 [2]

<u>Answer:</u> The fraction of atom's mass contributed by nucleus is 0.99

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nucleons are defined as the sub-atomic particles which are present in the nucleus of an atom. Nucleons are protons and neutrons.

The isotopic symbol of Helium-4 atom is _2^4\textrm{He}

Number of electrons = 2

Number of protons = 2

Number of neutrons = 4 - 2 = 2

We are given:

Mass of He-4 atom = 6.64648\times 10^{-24}g

Mass of 1 electron = 9.10939\times 10^{-28}g

Calculating the mass contributed by the nucleus = m_{He}-2(m_e)

Mass of the nucleus of He-4 atom = 6.64648\times 10^{-24}-(2\times (9.10939\times 10^{-28}))=(6.64648-0.0018219)\times 10^{-24}=6.64466\times 10^{-24}

To calculate the fraction of atom's mass contributed by the nucleus, we use the equation:

\text{Fraction of atom's mass contributed by nucleus}=\frac{\text{Mass of nucleus}}{\text{Mass of atom}}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Fraction of atom's mass contributed by nucleus}=\frac{6.64466\times 10^{-24}g}{6.64648\times 10^{-24}g}=0.99

Hence, the fraction of atom's mass contributed by nucleus is 0.99

Which best describes how heat energy moves within the system?
Radda [10]

Heat can be transferred from one place to another by conduction in solids, convection of fluids like liquids or gases, and radiation. A temperature difference in a system causes heat to move from higher to lower temperatures

How does water change as it freezes?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

A.

Explanation:

When frozen, water turns from a liquid to a solid! An example of this is a glass of water. You fill the glass with liquid tap water, and then put ice cubes in it. The ice cubes are solid and the tap water is liquid!

I hope this helps!
