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

The refining of aluminum from bauxite ore (which contains 50.% Al2O3 by mass) proceeds by the overall reaction 2Al2O3 + 3C → 4Al
iragen [17]

Answer:

18.9 x 10¹³ grams of Bauxite Ore

Explanation:

Al₂O₃ = 50% of Bauxite Ore

Al₂O₃ = 0.5 (Bauxite Ore)--------------------------------------- (1)

Overall reaction:

2Al₂O₃ + 3C → 4Al + 3CO₂--------------------------------------- (2)

[ Al= 27 , O=16, C=12]

From  (2), 2 moles of  Aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃) gives  4 moles of Aluminium

In terms of grams, we can say:

Al₂O₃ = [2(27) +3(16)]

         = 54 +48

         =102grams

2 moles of Al₂O₃ = 2 x102grams

                            =204grams

4 moles of Al = 4 x 27

                      =108 grams

So from (2):

204 grams of  Al₂O₃   = 108 grams of  Aluminium

x grams of  Al₂O₃        =  5.0 x 10¹³grams of Aluminium

Calculating for x:

x =  (204 x  5.0 x 10¹³)/ 108

  = 9.44 x 10¹³ grams

So 9.44 x 10¹³ grams of pure bauxite (Bauxite) is required.

However the to calculate the quantity of raw bauxite, we use (1):

Bauxite ore = Pure Bauxite/0.5

                   =   9.44 x 10¹³ grams/0.5

                   =   18.88 x 10¹³ grams

                    ≈ 18.9 x 10¹³ grams

Which of the following factors will affect the freezing point of a solution?
erastovalidia [21]

The freezing point of the solvent in a solution changes as the concentration of the solute in the solution changes (but it does not depend on the identity of either the solvent or the solute(s) particles (kind, size or charge) in the solution).

Generally, pressures lower than 1 atmosphere lower the temperature at which a substance freezes, but for water, a higher pressure gives a lower freezing point. The force from a pressure change figures into the molecular forces already at play in a substance.
