The metal is lead, Pb.

One unit of the oxide contains one atom of O (16.00 u).

∴ Mass of oxide = 16.00 u O × (100 u MO/7.17 u O) = 223.15 u MO

Mass of M = mass of MO – mass of O = 223.15 u -16.00 u = 207.2 u

The only element with an atomic mass of 207.2 u is lead (Pb) and the formula of the oxide is PbO.

A 5-kg quantity of radioactive isotope decays to 2 kg after 10 years. Find the decay constant of the isotope.k = _____
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

k = -0.09165 years^(-1)

Explanation:

The exponential decay model of a radioactive isotope is generally given as;

A(t) = A_o(e^(kt))

Where;

A_o is quantity of isotope before decay, k is decay constant and A(t) is quantity after t years

We are given;

A_o = 5 kg

A(10) = 2kg

t = 10 years

Thus;

A(10) = 2 = 5(e^(10k))

Thus;

2 = 5(e^(10k))

2/5 = (e^(10k))

0.4 = (e^(10k))

In 0.4 = 10k

-0.9164 = 10k

k = -0.9164/10

k = -0.09165 years^(-1)

How do i convert decimals into scientific notation
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

To convert a decimal into scientific notation, move the decimal point until you get to the left of the first non-zero integer. The number of places the decimal point moves is the power of the exponent, because each movement represents a "power of 10".
