D -a substance made of more than one type of atom
Llana [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

b. a substance made of only one type of atom

Explanation:

Elements are what you find on the periodic table of elements.

Take oxygen, for example. You can have one or multiple atoms, but if they are all oxygen atoms it's an element.

"a" is incorrect because water is not an element, it is a compound.

"c" is incorrect because such a thing (as far as we know) does not exist, unless we are talking about subatomic particles like protons, neutrons, and electrons that make up an atom.

"d" is incorrect because it describes a compound.

An unknown radioactive substance has a half-life of 3.20hours . If 46.2g of the substance is currently present, what mass A0 was
iogann1982 [59]

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

Answer:

Your coefficients (the numbers in front of the molecule) will be the following from left to right.

1. <u>1 - 2 - 1 - 2</u>

2. <u>2 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 1</u>

3. <u>2 - 4 - 1</u>

4. <u>2 - 4 - 3</u>

5. <u>2 - 2 - 2 - 1</u>

6. <u>1 - 1 - 1</u>

7. <u>2 - 1 - 2</u>

8. <u>3 - 1 - 2 - 3</u>

9. <u>3 - 1 - 2 - 3</u>

10. <u>2 - 1 - 1 - 1</u>

Explanation:

To balance this equations first count how many times an element is on each side and then see what needs to be changed in order to balance them.

At the beginning of the shift at 7:00 am, a client has 650 ml of normal saline solution left in the intravenous bag, which is in
madreJ [45]

The 8 hour shift is from 7.00 am to 3.00 pm.<span>
<span>At the beginning, from 7.00 am to 9.30am (2.5 hrs.),<span> the client has normal saline which </span></span>is infusing at 125 ml/hr.
Hence amount of normal saline which was injected= 2.5 hrs. x 125 ml/hr.
                                                                                 = 312.5 ml
from 9.30am to 3.00 pm (5.5 hrs) lactated ringer solution, which is to infuse at 100 ml/hr was given. 
Hence amount of lactated ringer solution given = 5.5 hrs x 100 ml/hr
                                                                           = 550 ml
Total amount of IV solution given = normal saline + lactated ringer solution
                                                     = 312.5 ml + 550 ml
                                                     = 862.5 ml
<span>                                                     = 863 ml</span></span>
