<span>The half life of americium is 432 years. That means that after 432 years only half(1/2) of initial amount will be left.
If we had 1 g, then after 432 years we will have only half of it.
1g*1/2=1/2 g=0.5 g
Answer is </span><span>A) 0.5g</span>

What volume of a concentrated HCl solution, which is 36.0% HCl by mass and has a density of 1.179 g/mL, should be used to make 4
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

130ml of HCl(36%) in 4.90L solution => pH = 1.50

Explanation:

Need 4.90L of HCl(aq) solution with pH = 1.5.

Given pH = 1.5 => [H⁺] = 10⁻¹·⁵M = 0.032M in H⁺

[HCl(36%)] ≅ 12M in HCl

(M·V)concentrate = (M·V)diluted

12M·V(conc) = 0.032M·4.91L

=> V(conc) needed = [(0.032)(4.91)/12]Liters = 0.0130Liters or 130 ml.

Mixing Caution => Add 131 ml of HCl(36%) into a small quantity of water (~500ml) then dilute to the mark.

Why do you think dark surfaces absorb radiation better than light surfaces?
laiz [17]

Your answer→ <em>The lighter side absorbs less of the incident light, reflecting some of the energy. Darker materials also emit radiation more readily than light-colored materials, so they cool faster.</em>

Enough of a monoprotic weak acid is dissolved in water to produce a 0.0118 M solution. The pH of the resulting solution is 2.32
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

1.94 × 10⁻³

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the concentration of H⁺ ions

We will use the definition of pH.

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -2.32 = 4.79 × 10⁻³ M

Step 2: Calculate the acid dissociation constant (Ka) of the acid

For a monoprotic weak acid, whose concentration (Ca) is 0.0118 M, we can use the following expression.

Ka = [H⁺]²/Ca

Ka = (4.79 × 10⁻³)²/0.0118 = 1.94 × 10⁻³
