There's a 50 gram sample of our Ra-229 it is half-life is 4 minutes how much will be left after 12 minutes

Chemistry

KIM [24]3 years ago
7 0

The half life of an isotope is the amount of time it will take for the given isotope to decay till the point where it reaches half of what amount you had started with.

If the half life of Ra-229 is 4 minutes then every 4 minutes the sample is reduced to half of what you had before

4 minutes.)     50/2 Ra-229 --> 25g Ra-229

8 minutes.)     25/2 Ra-229 --> 12.5 Ra-229

12 minutes.)    12.5/2 Ra-229 --> 6.25 Ra-229 remaining

<em>I beleive this is the correct answer</em>

Which of the following statements is not a description of asteroids?
seraphim [82]

Answer: Most of them lie in a belt between Earth and Mars.

Explanation:

Asteroids are small rocky bodies having irregular shape size which orbit sun. Majority of the asteroids are found in a belt between orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Scientists presume that these asteroids are remains of a planet that never formed between Mars and Jupiter due to great gravitational pull of the largest planet of the solar -system - Jupiter.

Thus, the incorrect description of the asteroids is: Most of them lie in a belt between Earth and Mars.

An unknown compound has a percent composition of 52.10% potassium, 15.8% carbon, and 32.1% oxygen. The molar mass of the compoun
lianna [129]
To determine the empirical formula and the molecular formula of the compound, we assume a basis of the compound of 100 g. We do as follows:

       Mass              Moles                     
K    52.10     52.10/39.10 = 1.33         1.33/1.32 ≈ 1
C    15.8       15.8/12         = 1.32         1.32/1.32 ≈ 1
O     32.1      32.1 / 16       =  2.01        2.01/1.32 ≈ 1.5

The empirical formula would most likely be KCO.
The molecular formula would be K2C2O3.

CH3OCH3 (ether) will dissolve in water because
dangina [55]

Answer:

a. polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents.

Explanation:

Polarity is a phenomenon that has to do with the positive and negative electric (ionic) charges of a molecule. A molecule with distinct positive and electric charge is said to be POLAR. However, water is said to be a universal solvent because it dissolves more substances than any other solvent can.

This solvent property of water is a function of its POLARITY. Polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents. Hence, only polar solutes can dissolve in water (a polar solvent). Hence, in this case, CH3OCH3 (ether) will dissolve in water because it is a POLAR molecule/solute.
