Answer:
Half life is the time taken by a radio active isotope to reduce by half of its original amount. Radium-226 has a half life of 1602 years meaning that it would take 1602 years for a mass of radium to reduce by half.
Number of half lives in 9612 years = 9612/1602 = 6 half lives
New mass = Original mass x (1/2)n where n is the number of half lives.
Therefore, New mass= 500 x (1/2)∧6
= 500 x 0.015625
= 7.8125 g
Hence the mass of radium after 9612 years will be 7.8125 grams.

Answer:
2.11 x 10²⁴ molecules.
Explanation:
- <em>It is known that every 1.0 mole of a molecule contains Avogadro's number of molecules (NA = 6.022 x 10²³).</em>
<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>
1.0 mole of H₂O contains → 6.022 x 10²³ molecules.
3.5 mole of H₂O contains → ??? molecules.
∴ 3.5 mole of H₂O contain = (3.5 mol)(6.022 x 10²³) = 2.11 x 10²⁴ molecules.
Answer:
Every sample of a given substance has identical intensive properties because every sample has the same composition
Answer:
Your answer would be C.
Explanation:
Gamma radiation, unlike alpha or beta, does not consist of any particles, instead consisting of a photon of energy being emitted from an unstable nucleus. Having no mass or charge, gamma radiation can travel much farther through air than alpha or beta, losing (on average) half its energy for every 500 feet.
