Answer:

Half life is 6 years.

Explanation:

T½ = In2 / λ

Where λ = decay constant.

But N = No * e^-λt

Where N = final mass after a certain period of time

No = initial mass

T = time

N = 0.625g

No = 10g

t = 24 years

N = No* e^-λt

N / No = e^-λt

λ = -( 1 / t) In N / No (inverse of e is In. Check logarithmic rules)

λ = -(1 / 24) * In (0.625/10)

λ = -0.04167 * In(0.0625)

λ = -0.04167 * (-2.77)

λ = 0.1154

T½ = In2 / λ

T½ = 0.693 / 0.1154

T½ = 6.00 years.

The half life of radioactive cobalt-60 is 6 years

a material has a density of 8.9 g/cm^3. You have six cubic centimeters of the substance. What is the material's mass in grams?
Svet_ta [14]
If the formula for density=m/v, you can manipulate this formula to the the mass. After manipulation, you get the equation for mass to be: m=density * volume. With density and volume given, we can find the mass.

mass= (8.9) * 6 = 53.4grams

See Explanation

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

C7H16(g) + 11O2(g) ---->7CO2(g) + 8H2O(g)

1a) Number of moles in 228 g of H2O = 228 g/18 g/mol = 12.67 moles

From the reaction equation;

11 moles of O2 yields 8 moles of H2O

x moles of O2 yields 12.67 moles of H2O

x = 11 * 12.67/8

x = 17.4 moles of O2

Since 1 mole of O2 occupies 22.4 L

17.4 moles of O2 occupies 17.4 moles * 22.4 L/1 mole = 389.76 L

1b) Molar mass of C7H16 = 100 g/mol

Number of moles in 300 g of C7H16 = 300 g/100g/mol = 3 moles

1 mole of C7H16 yields 7 moles of CO2

3 moles of C7H16 yields 3 * 7/1 = 21 moles of CO2

If 1 mole of CO2 occupies 22.4 L

21 moles of CO2 occupies 21 moles * 22.4 L/1 mole = 470.4 L of CO2

2) Number of moles in 202 L of H2 is obtained by;

1 mole of H2 occupies 22.4 L

x moles of  H2 occupies 202 L

x = 1 mole * 202 L/22.4 L =  9 moles of H2

From the reaction equation;

3 moles of H2 yields 2 moles of PH3

9 moles of H2 will yield 9 * 2/3 = 6 moles of PH3

Mass of 6 moles of PH3 = 6 moles of PH3 * 34 g/mol = 204 g of PH3

What is the definition of DNA in meiosis
Eddi Din [679]

In meiosis, DNA replication is followed by two rounds of cell division to produce four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. The two meiotic divisions are known as meiosis I and meiosis II.

Based on the name, which substance is a covalent compound?
jek_recluse [69]
Compounds that has two elements on the formula can be bonded by ionic or covalent bond. If the compound is a metal and a non-metal then it will be ionic bonding. However, when it involves two non-metals, then it will have covalent bonding.
