Answer:

768g

Explanation:

We can use to formula $N(A) = N_0(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{t}{t_{1/2}}$ . Here, N(A) is the final amount. N0 is the initial amount. t is the time elapsed, and $t_{1/2}$ is the half life. Plugging in, we get the answer above.

Radioactive decay is likely to occur when ... radioactive decay is likely to occur when ... protons break into neutrons and elec

xenn [34]

Radioactivity or radioactive decay is the process that occurs when unstable isotopes or atoms release energy by emitting radiations such as ,gamma radiations, alpha radiations and beta radiations to attain stability. Therefore, in this case decay is likely to occur when a given atom has two many neutrons in its nucleus in order to attain stability.

How many grams of carbon monoxide are needed to react with an excess of iron (III) oxide to produce 198.5 grams of iron? Fe2O3(s

erastova [34]

Answer : The grams of carbon monoxide needed are 148.89 g

Solution : Given,

Mass of iron, Fe = 198.5 g

Molar mass of iron, Fe = 56 g/mole

Molar mass of carbon monoxide, CO = 28 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of iron, Fe.

$\text{ Moles of Fe}=\frac{\text{ Mass of Fe}}{\text{ Molar mass of Fe}}=\frac{198.5g}{56g/mole}=3.545moles$

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$Fe_2O_3(s)+3CO(g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+2Fe(s)$

From the balanced reaction, we conclude that

2 moles of iron produces from the 3 moles of carbon monoxide

3.545 moles of iron produces from the $\frac{3}{2}\times 3.545=5.3175$ moles of carbon monoxide

Now we have to calculate the mass of carbon monoxide, CO.

$\text{ Mass of CO}=\text{ Moles of CO}\times \text{ Molar mass of CO}$

$\text{ Mass of CO}=(5.3175moles)\times (28g/mole)=148.89g$

Therefore, the grams of carbon monoxide needed are 148.89 g

Why does electronegativity increase as you move from left to right across

Katen [24]

Answer: increasing number of protons increases the positive charge of the nucleus.

Explanation: because as the electronegativity moves from left to right on the periodic table the protons do increase to make it into a positive charge.

Question: If red dye is added to cold water and blue dye is added to warm water, which dye will

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Blue dye spreads out quicker

Explanation:

This is because the dye gets spread out by water molecules. Warm water has faster moving water molecules than cold water.
