Answer:
13 years
Explanation:
From;
0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log (No/N)
Where;
t1/12 = half-life of Cobalt-60 = 5.3 years
t = time taken = the unknown
No = mass of radioactive material originally present = 5.2 g
N = mass of radioactive material at time t = 0.95 g
Substituting values;
0.693/5.3 = 2.303/t log (5.2/0.95)
0.131 = 2.303/t(0.738)
0.131 = 1.6996/t
t = 1.6996/0.131
t = 12.97 years
t = 13 years(to the nearest whole number)
Hi,
your answer would be false. But it seems you already knew that.
I hoped I helped and if you need help you could always ask me :)

We are given that the balanced chemical reaction is:
cacl2⋅2h2o(aq) +
k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) --->
cac2o4⋅h2o(s) +
2kcl(aq) + 2h2o(l)
We known that
the product was oven dried, therefore the mass of 0.333 g pertains only to that
of the substance cac2o4⋅h2o(s). So what we will do first is to convert this
into moles by dividing the mass with the molar mass. The molar mass of cac2o4⋅h2o(s) is
molar mass of cac2o4 plus the
molar mass of h2o.
molar mass cac2o4⋅h2o(s) = 128.10
+ 18 = 146.10 g /mole
moles cac2o4⋅h2o(s) =
0.333 / 146.10 = 2.28 x 10^-3 moles
Looking at
the balanced chemical reaction, the ratio of cac2o4⋅h2o(s) and k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) is
1:1, therefore:
moles k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) = 2.28
x 10^-3 moles
Converting
this to mass:
mass k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) = 2.28
x 10^-3 moles (184.24 g /mol) = 0.419931006 g
Therefore:
The mass of k2c2o4⋅<span>h2o(aq) in
the salt mixture is about 0.420 g</span>
Sodium (NA)
the sodium atom is donating its 1 valence electron to the chlorine atom. This creates a sodium cation and a chlorine anion. Notice that the net charge of the resulting compound is 0.
