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. A sample of polystyrene is found to have a number-average molar mass of 89,440 g mol−1 . Neglecting contributions from end gr
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The weight-average molar mass of polystyrene is 134,160 g/mol.

Explanation:

Molar mass of the monomer styrene , C_8H_8, M=104 g/mol

Given , number average molar mass of the polymer , M'= 89,440 g/mol

Degree of polymerization = n

n=\frac{M'}{M}=\frac{89,440 g/mol}{104 g/mol}=860

The weight-average molar mass = M_{avg}=?

Molar mass dispersity is ratio of weight-average molar mass to the number average molar mass of the polymer.

\text{Molar mass dispersity}=\frac{M_{avg}}{M'}

1.5=\frac{M_{avg}}{89,440 g/mol}

M_{avg}=89,440 g/mol\times 1.5 = 134,160 g/mol

The weight-average molar mass of polystyrene is 134,160 g/mol.
