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

1. Marisa determined the melting point of a substance to be 24.5C. Find the percent error of her measurement if the actual melti
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

\%\ Error = 21.5\%

Explanation:

Given

Measured = 24.5

Actual = 31.2

Required

Determine the percentage error

First, we need to determine the difference in the measurement

Difference = |Actual - Measured|

Difference = |31.2 - 24.5|

Difference = |6.7|

Difference = 6.7

The percentage error is calculated as thus:

\%\ Error = \frac{Difference * 100\%}{Actual}

\%\ Error = \frac{6.7 * 100\%}{31.2}

\%\ Error = \frac{670\%}{31.2}

\%\ Error = 21.4743589744\%

\%\ Error = 21.5\% <em>approximated</em>

What is the molarity of a solution made with 64 grams of sodium hydroxide in 4 liters of water
ehidna [41]

Answer:

The molarity of the solution: 0,27M

Explanation:

First , we calculate the weight of 1 mol of NaCl:

Weight 1mol NaCl= Weight Na + Weight Cl= 23 g+ 35, 5 g= 58, 5 g/mol

58,5 g---1 mol NaCl

64 g--------x= (64 g x1 mol NaCl)/58,5 g= 1, 09 mol NaCl

A solution molar--> moles of solute in 1 L of solution:

4 L-----1,09 mol NaCl

1L----x0( 1L x1,09 mol NaCl)/4L =0,27moles NaCl--->0,27M
