If a mineral has a daughter to parent ration of 3:1 (three daughter atoms for every one parent atom), how many half-lives have p

The answer to this question would be: 2 half-lives

In this question, the mineral has a daughter to parent ratio of 3:1. That means, the amount of parent mass should be are 1/(3+1)= 1/4 of the total mass. For every half live, the parent mass would become 1/2. Then for 1/4, the number of half-lives should be:
1/2^x= 1/4
1/2^x= 1/2^2
x=2

In an experiment, students were given an unknown mineral. The unknown mineral was placed in 150 ml of water. Once in the water,
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

<h2>15 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

But from the question

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 165 - 150 = 15 mL

We have

density =  \frac{225}{15}  = 15 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>15 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

Stannum has a body centered tetragonal with lattice constant, a = b = 5.83A and c = 3.18A. If the atomic radius is 0.145 nm, det
Fed [463]

Answer:

the atomic packing factor of Sn is 0.24

Explanation:

a = b = 5.83A and c = 3.18A.

Volume of unit cell = a²c

= (5.83)² *  3.18 * 10⁻²⁴ cm³

= 1.08 * 10⁻²²cm³

Volume of atoms =

2 \times  \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

(∴ BCC, effective number of atom is 2)

Volume of atoms =

2 * \frac{4}{3} *3.14*(0.145*10^-^7cm)^3

= 2.55*10⁻²³cm³

\text {Atomic packing factor}=\frac{\text {volume occupied by atom}}{\text {volume of unit cell }}

=\frac{2.55*10^-^2^3}{1.08*10^-^2^2} \\\\=0.24

<h3>therefore, the atomic packing factor of Sn is 0.24</h3>
