Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

a)

Data

half-life = 16.7 days

go from 1000 to 250 atoms

                                1000

                                  500         1 half life

                                  250         2 half lives

                16.7 days ---------------- 1 half life

                 x             ----------------- 2 half lives

                x = (2 x 16.7) / 1

               x = 33.4 days        

               

b)

number of atoms = ?

after 9 half-lives

                            1000

                              500       1 half life

                               250       2 half lives

                               125        3 half lives

                                62.5     4 half lives

                               31.25     5 half lives

                                15.63    6 half lives

                                 7.81      7 half lives

                                 3.9       8 half lives

                                 1.95      9 half lives

Natali [406]

cesium chloride is another chloride that could be used instead of the calcium chloride dihydrate to produce a solid precipitate with aqueous sodium carbonate

A mineral salt called cesium chloride (CsCl) is occasionally ingested or administered intravenously to cancer patients seeking alternative therapies. However, the FDA has not yet approved any cesium chloride products to treat cancer or other disorders.

In isopycnic centrifugation, cesium chloride is a common medical compound used to separate different forms of DNA. It is a reagent used in analytical chemistry to distinguish ions based on the hue and shape of the precipitate.

Cesium chloride is not proven to be effective in treating cancer. As an alternative to chemotherapy for cancer, cesium chloride is pushed. Supporters assert that cesium prevents tumor cells from proliferating by neutralizing the poisons they release.

givi [52]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

Standard reduction potentials for zinc(II) and copper(II)

The standard reduction potential for a substance indicates how readily that substance gains electrons relative to other substances at standard conditions. The more positive the reduction potential, the more easily the substance gains electrons. Consider the following:

Zn2+(aq)+2e−→Zn(s),Cu2+(aq)+2e−→Cu(s), E∘red=−0.763 V E∘red=+0.337 V

Part B

What is the standard potential, E∘cell, for this galvanic cell? Use the given standard reduction potentials in your calculation as appropriate.

Express your answer to three decimal places and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

1.100 V

Explanation:

E∘cell= E∘cathode - E∘anode

E∘cathode= +0.337 V

E∘anode= −0.763 V

E∘cell= 0.337-(-0.763)

E∘cell= 1.1V

If you have a block of plastic and a block of copper that are the same mass and are placed in the sun for 10 minutes. What is th
LuckyWell [14K]

INFORMATION:

Is given that:

- if you have a block of plastic and a block of copper that are the same mass and are placed in the sun for 10 minutes.

And after the 10 minutes copper has a higher temperature.

We must determine the reason.

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:

To determine it, we need to know the concept of specific heat

If the block of copper has a higher temperature after 10 minutes, that means copper needs less heat to raise its temperature.

So, plastic has a higher specific heat than metal, so it takes more energy to heat plastic than copper. As a result, plastic would heat up more slowly.

ANSWER:

The explanation for the copper having a higher temperature after 10 minutes in the sun, is that plastic has a higher specific heat than metal, so it takes more energy to heat plastic than copper. As a result, plastic would heat up more slowly. Since the copper has a lower specific heat, it will be heat quickly.
