Answer:
66.2 % of O
Explanation:
Our compound is the lithium nitrite.
LiNO₂
This salt is ionic and can be dissociated: LiNO₂ → Li⁺ + NO₂⁻
We determine the molar mass:
molar mass of Li + 3 . molar mass of N + 6 . molar mass of O
6.94 g/mol + 3. 14 g/mol + 6 . 16 g/mol = 144.94 g/mol
The mass of oxygen contained in 1 mol of lithium nitrite is:
6 . 16 g/mol = 96 g
So the percentage of oxygen present is:
(96 g / 144.94 g) . 100 = 66.2 %
Answer:
a) a0 was 46.2 grams
b) It will take 259 years
c) The fossil is 1845 years old
Explanation:
<em>An unknown radioactive substance has a half-life of 3.20hours . If 46.2g of the substance is currently present, what mass A0 was present 8.00 hours ago?</em>
A = A0 * (1/2)^(t/h)
⇒ with A = the final amount = 46.2 grams
⇒ A0 = the original amount
⇒ t = time = 8 hours
⇒ h = half-life time = 3.2 hours
46.2 = Ao*(1/2)^(8/3.2)
Ao = 261.35 grams
<em>Americium-241 is used in some smoke detectors. It is an alpha emitter with a half-life of 432 years. How long will it take in years for 34.0% of an Am-241 sample to decay?</em>
t = (ln(0.66))-0.693) * 432 = 259 years
It will take 259 years
<em>A fossil was analyzed and determined to have a carbon-14 level that is 80% that of living organisms. The half-life of C-14 is 5730 years. How old is the fossil?</em>
<em />
t = (ln(0.80))-0.693) * 5730 = 1845
The fossil is 1845 years old
By crushing the salt, you are performing a physical change because you aren't altering the chemical makeup of the salt, just the physical form. Hope this helps! :)
S + O = SO4. cracked also chemical reaction
