The   number  of grams of  radon 222 did it have 15.2  ago was  49.6 grams( answer  C)

 <u>calculation</u>

  • calculate the number of half life it has covered    from   15.2  days to 3.8 days

             that is  divide 15.2/ 3.8 = 4 half life

  •  half  life is time taken for a radio activity  of a specified isotope to fall to half its original mass

therefore  3.8 days ago  it was  3.1 x2 =  6.2 grams

                  7.6 days ago  it was 6.2 x2 = 12.4 grams

                   11.4  days  ago it was 12.4  x2=  24.8  grams

                  15.2  days  ago  it was  24.8 x2=49.6 grams

what is the molarity of 20.0 ml of a KCl solution that reacts completely with 30.0 ml of a 0.400 M Pb(NO3)2 solution?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

[KCl] = 1.2 M

Explanation:

We need to complete the reaction:

2KCl(aq) + Pb(NO₃)₂(aq)  → 2KNO₃(aq) + PbCl₂(s)↓

By stoichiomety we know that 1 mol of chloride needs 1 mol of nitrate to react:

Let's find out the moles of nitrate, we have:

Molarity = mol/volume(L)

We convert the volume → 30 mL . 1L/1000mL = 0.030L

Molarity . volume(L) = moles → 0.400 M . 0.030L = 0.012 moles

Therefore, we can make a rule of three.

1 mol of nitrate reacts with 2 moles of chloride

Then, 0.012 moles of nitrate must react with (0.012 . 2) / 1 = 0.024 moles of KCl

We convert the volume from mL to L → 20 mL . 1L /1000mL = 0.020L

Molarity = mol /volume(L) → 0.024 mol /0.020L = 1.2 M

Which group is more reactive than the alkaline earth metals?
Vlad [161]

Answer: <em>The </em><em>alkali metals</em><em> reactivity is generally higher than the alkaline earth metals. </em>

Explanation: <em>This makes the alkaline earth metals with their two valence electrons less reactive than alkali metals with their one valence electron.</em>

<u>Alkali metals is ns1 and alkaline earth metals is ns2</u>

Atoms of arsenic (As) are often added to silicon (Si) in a process called doping to change the conductivity of the silicon. How
Basile [38]

Answer:

B.) An atom of arsenic has one more valence electron and more electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity decreases because the arsenic atom loses the electron.

Explanation:

Silicon is located in the 3rd row and 14th column in the periodic table. Arsenic is located in the 4th row and 15th column in the periodic table. This means that arsenic has one more valence electron than silicon. Since arsenic is located one row down from silicon, its valence electrons occupy higher energy orbitals.

Silicon maintains a crystal-like lattice structure. Each silicon atom is covalently connected to assume this shape. When silicon gains one extra electron from arsenic, it experiences n-type doping. This new electron is not tightly bound in the lattice structure. This allows it to move more freely and conduct more electricity. This can also be explained using band gaps. Silicon, which previously had an empty conduction band, now has one electron in this band. This lowers the band gap between the conduction and valence bands and increases conductivity.
