Answer:

C) 35%

Explanation:

Thymine pairs with adenine. If thymine is 15% then so would adenine be 15%. That leaves the reaminder to be 70%. Cytosine pairs with guanine, thereby, they would each be 35%.

Suppose you have 100 grams of radioactive plutonium-239 with a half-life of 24,000 years. how many grams of plutonium-239 will r

Alexandra [31]

To solve this problem, let us first calculate for the rate constant k using the half life formula:

t1/2 = ln 2 / k

where t1/2 = half life period = 24,000 years, therefore k is:

k = ln 2 / 24,000

k = 2.89 x 10^-5 / yr

Now we use the rate equation:

A = Ao e^(-k t)

where,

A = mass of Plutonium-239 after number of years

Ao = initial mass of Plutonium-239

t = number of years

A. t = 12,000 years, find A

A = 100g e^(- 2.89 x 10^-5 * 12,000)

A = 70.7 g

B. t = 24,000 years, find A

A = 100g e^(- 2.89 x 10^-5 * 24,000)

A = 50 g

C. t = 96,000 years, find A

A = 100g e^(- 2.89 x 10^-5 * 96,000)

When 32 grams of aluminum react, the actual yield is 105.5 grams, what is the percent yield?

user100 [1]

Answer:

329.7%

Explanation:

Percent Yield = Actual Yield/ Theoretical Yield x 100%

Percent Yield = 105.5g/32 x 100% = 329.69 ≈ 329.7 %

An abandoned Indiana coal mine spoil bank (wastes) contains chunks of pyrite minerals. Under constant erosion and weathering, th

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The acid will be neutralized overtime

Explanation:

The presence of the pyrites leads to the leaching of large amounts of sulphuric acid, however the basic carbonates neutralizes the acid according to the reaction equation;

CaCO3 + H2SO4 ---> CaSO4 + CO2 + H2O.

This will prevent all the deleterious consequences associated with the leaching of the acid in the abandoned coal mine.
