Answer:

25% thorium will left after 50 days.

Explanation:

Half life:

A nuclear half is the time period of radioactive material in which its amount remain halved.

In given question it is stated that the half life thorium-234 is 25 days. Which means after passing the 25 days the amount of thorium must be halved of original amount.

For example,

If the original concentration was 100%, than after 25 days it will be 50%.

After 50 days amount of thorium left:

Number of half life = T (elapsed) / T half life

Number of half life = 50/25

Number of half life =  2

At first half life amount of thorium left = 100/2 = 50

After second half life amount of thorium left = 50/2 = 25

Total amount decayed = 50+25 = 75

Amount left after 50 days = 100-75 = 25

25% thorium will left after 50 days.

In the determination of iron in an ore, the ore (mostly Fe2O3) is first dissolved in HCl(aq). A slight excess of Sn2 is added to
katovenus [111]

Answer:

2Fe⁺³ + Sn₂ → 2Fe⁺² + 2Sn⁺²

Explanation:

A redox reaction occurs between a compound that loses electrons and others that gain an electron. The first is being oxidized, and the other is being reduced.

In this situation, in the compound Fe₂O₃, the iron, has an oxidation number equal to +3, so it's Fe⁺³, and it will gain 1 electron to become Fe⁺². Because it was first dissolved in HCl, we must use the ion at the equation. The other compound Sn₂ will be oxidized to Sn⁺², so it will need to lose 2 electrons.

So, it will be necessary 2 Fe⁺³ for this reaction happen:

2Fe⁺³ + Sn₂ → 2Fe⁺² + 2Sn⁺²

Where would you have the least weight?​
Vikki [24]

In a place with no gravity

Explanation:

Weight is a force exerted by a body in the presence of gravity.

        Weight = mass x gravity

Without gravity, there is no force of weight. The more the gravity, the more the weight of a body.

A body will experience weightlessness in a place without no gravity.

Therefore, one will experience the least weight in a place without the pull of gravity.

How does electronegativity affect the polarity of the bond between two atoms?
Fantom [35]
It can allow the molecule (like water) to be polar because it has a negative and positive side to it (oxygen holds the negatives tight causing the hydrogens to be positive).
