How long does it take a 180 G sample of AU-198 to decay to 1/8 it’s original mass

Chemistry
1 answer:
Bezzdna [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

8.10 days  

Explanation:

The half-life of gold-198 (2.70 days) is the time it takes for half the gold to decay.  

After one half-life, half (50 %) of the original amount will remain.

After a second half-life, half of that amount (25 %) will remain, and so on.

We can construct a table:

<u>No. of half-lives</u>  <u>Fraction remaining</u>

            1                       \frac{1}{2}  

            2                      \frac{1}{4}

            3                     \frac{1}{8}  

Thus, the gold will decay to ⅛ of its original mass after three half-lives.

∴ Time required = 3 × 2.70 days = 8.10 days

How many milliliters of 0.60 H₂SO₄ are required to neutralize 90 mL of 0.40 NaOH?
artcher [175]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 30 ml of H₂SO₄

Explanation:

Data

the volume of H₂SO₄ = ?

[H₂SO₄] = 0.6 M

volume of NaOH = 90 ml

[NaOH] = 0.4

Process

1.- Write the balanced chemical equation

             H₂SO₄  +  2NaOH  ⇒  Na₂SO₄  +  2H₂O

2.- Calculate the moles of NaOH

Molarity = moles/volume

moles = Molarity x volume

-Substitution

moles = 0.4 x 0.09

-result

moles = 0.036 of NaOH

3.- Calculate the moles of H₂SO₄

            1 mol of H₂SO₄ ---------------- 2 moles of NaOH

             x                      ----------------- 0.036 moles of NaOH

                   x = (0.036 x 1)/2

                   x = 0.018 moles of H₂SO₄

4.- Calculate the volume of H₂SO₄

Volume = moles / Molarity

-Substitution

Volume = 0.018 / 0.6

-Result

Volume = 0.03 ml or 30 ml

Explain the process of groundwater
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Limestone is easily eroded from above and below.

Explanation:

The Florida bedrock is largely made of limestone. Because limestone is a rock that is easily eroded, the landscape of a great part of Florida is classified as karstic.

Karstic landscapes are dotted by sinkholes, underground rivers, caves, and springs. The more acidic the groundwater or rainwater, the faster and more easily the limestone will succumb to erosion.

In this way, underground rivers, streams, runoff, rain, and underground water pooled in caves have all carved out gaps and caverns in the weak limestone bedrock.
