Answer:

The Law of Conservation of Mass tells us that matter is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction. ... The Law of Conservation of Mass applies as the total mass of the products is equal to the total mass of the reactants.

Answer:

SAMPLE RESPONSE:

The law of conservation of mass states that the total amount of mass remains constant in a system. In ecology, this means that when an organism is eaten, its mass is conserved. Some of the organism’s mass is used to make new proteins, and some of it is passed as waste in the form of urine or feces. The rest is converted directly into energy. This energy helps the consumer to move and grow, and it helps it to build and repair new tissue.

Americium-241 is used in smoke detectors. It has a first-order rate constant for radioactive decay of k = 1.6x10^−3yr−1. By cont
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

A. 433 years and 63 days

B. Iodine

C. 0.125mg

D. 1.00mg

Explanation:

A. Americium

The formula of a radioactive decay constant half life is t = 0.693/k

Where k is the decay constant.

For americium, k = 0.0016

t = 0.693/0.0016 = 433.125 apprx 433 years

For iodine, k = 0.011

Half life = 0.693/0.011 = 63 days.

B. Iodine decays at a faster rate.

C. After three half lives

For both, first half life yields a mass of 0.5mg, next yields 0.25mg, next yield 0.125mg

D. 1.00mg still remains.

Half life is high for both so the decay after one day is insignificant.

If a pharmacist adds 10 ml of purified water to 30 ml of a solution having a specific gravity of 1.30, calculate the specific gr
xxMikexx [17]

The specific gravity of a sample is the ratio of the density of the sample with respect to one standard sample. The standard sample used in specific gravity calculation is water whose density is 1 g/mL. The solution having specific gravity 1.30 is the density of the sample that is 1.30 g/mL. Thus the weight of the 30 mL sample is (30×1.30) = 39 g.

Now the mass of the 10 mL of water is 10 g as density of water is 10 g/mL. Thus after addition the total mass of the solution is (39 + 10) = 49g and the volume is (30 + 10) = 40 mL. Thus the density of the mixture will be \frac{49}{40}=1.225 g/mL. Thus the specific gravity of the mixed sample will be 1.225 g/mL.
