If you start with 64g of a radioactive element how many half-lives would occur before 8g remain?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nonamiya [84]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

3 half-lives

Explanation:

The half-life is the time that it takes to a radioactive element to decay to half of its initial amount.

Let's suppose we start with 64 g of the radioactive element.

  • After 1 half-life, the mass of the element will be 32 g.
  • After 2 half-lives, the mass of the element will be 16 g.
  • After 3 half-lives, the mass of the element will be 8 g.

What are the electrons capable of Sharing accepting or donating called?
Oliga [24]
Substances have different tendencies to donate or accept electrons. When a really good donor meets a great acceptor, the chemical reaction releases a lot of energy. Oxygen (O2) is the best electron acceptor and is used in many aerobic reactions (reactions with oxygen). Hydrogen gas (H2) is a good electron donor.

When O2 and H2 are combined, along with a catalyst, water (H2O) is formed. This example of a redox reaction can be written like this:

Which electron configuration represents a selenium atom in an excited state?(1) 2-7-18-6(2) 2-7-18-7(3) 2-8-18-6(4) 2-8-18-7
rosijanka [135]
(2) 2 - 7 - 18 - 7 does, because the electron from the L shell jumped to the N shell, which requires energy.

The rest of them are either different types of atoms (different elements) or are not the excited state (ground state)

How much Sr(OH)2 • 8 H2O (M = 265.76) is needed to prepare 250.0 ML of solution in which [OH]= 0.100M?
SVEN [57.7K]
Use the formula 
first step: 
Use the formula 
molarity= mole/liter
change ml to l
plug in data
 to get .1=mole/.25 or .1M*.25liter
which =.025 moles
then divide .025 moles by two because there are two OH in Sr(OH)2 
then multiply that by 265.76 (the molar mass of water) 
.0125*265.76
which is 3.32grams this is your answer
