Iodine-131 has a half-life of 8 days. How long would it take for the number of unstable nuclei in the sample to be reduced from

Answer:

After one-half life: 16 mg

After 2-half lives: 8 mg

After 3-half lives: 4 mg

After 4-half lives: 2 mg

After 5-half lives: 1 mg

(5 half-lives) x (8 days/half-life) = 40 days  

or doing it the mathematical way:  Let z be the number of days to be found:

1 mg = 32 mg x (1/2)^(z / 8 days)  

1/32 = (1/2)^(z / 8 days)  

log (1/32) = (z / 8 days) x log (1/2)  

z / 8 days = log (1/32) / log (1/2)

z = 8 days x log (1/32) / log (1/2) = 40 days

<h2>Nucleosynthesis.</h2>

Explanation:

A. the Big Bang occurred; the Big Crunch occurred

Nucleosynthesis is the process by which new atomic nucleus are formed from pre-existing protons and neutrons.

According to cosmic theories, the nucleosythesis began one minute after the occurrence of Big bang and will end with the big Crunch.

The Big bang theory describes all the processes by which the universe came into existence while the big crunch theory explains how universe will come to an end.  A

What is the resultant molarity of 20mL of a 3.5M solution is diluted to 100mL? Will mark brainliest
motikmotik

Answer:

The resultant molarity is 0,7 M.

Explanation:

A dilution consists of the decrease of concentration of a substance in a solution (the higher the volume of the solvent, the lower the concentration).

We use the formula for dilutions:

C1 x V1 = C2 x V2

3,5 M x 20 ml= C2 x 100ml

C2= (3,5 M x 20 ml)/100ml

<em>C2= 0,7M</em>

A water solution is found to have a molar oh- concentration of 3.2 x 10-5. the solution would be classified as :_______.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

A water solution is found to have a molar oh- concentration of 3.2 x 10-5. the solution would be classified as neutral.

The concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) is measured by pOH. It is a way of expressing how alkaline a solution is. At 25 degrees Celsius, aqueous solutions with pOH values of 7 or less are neutral, whereas those with pOH values of 7 or more are acidic. The hydrogen ion potential is known as pH. The potential of hydroxide ions is known as pOH. 2. It is a scale used to estimate the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration in the solution. The hydroxide ion (OH-) concentration of the solution is measured using this scale.

pH + pOH = 14

 pOH = 3.2x 10-5

[OH-] = 10^(-pOH) =10^(- 3.2x 10-5)

= 0.99
