Chemistry
1 answer:
Bond [772]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

90yrs

Explanation:

Half life is the time taken for half of an original radioactive material to decay by half.

For the sample;

    Half - life = 45yrs

  Original amount  = 600cpm

 

                 Start                                  Number of atoms    

                 0yrs                                                600cpm

                                   First half life

                 45yrs                                              300cpm

                                  Second half life

                 90yrs                                               150cpm

Write a balanced chemical equation to show the reaction of naoh with the monoprotic acid hcl.
Yakvenalex [24]
NaOH or sodium hydroxide is a base which reacts with HCl or Hydrochloric acid to from a salt and water. The equation that represents this reaction is as follows: NaOH (I) + HCl (l) ==H2O (l) +NaCl (aq). The reaction between an acid and a base always produces a salt and water. In this case the salt is sodium chloride.

How could we stop an asteroid that we know was going to hit Earth?<br><br><br> Pls help ASAP
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

An object with a high mass close to the Earth could be sent out into a collision course with the asteroid, knocking it off course. When the asteroid is still far from the Earth, a means of deflecting the asteroid is to directly alter its momentum by colliding a spacecraft with the asteroid.

Hope it helps!!

What is the mass (in grams) of 9.79 × 1024 molecules of methanol (CH3OH)?
nevsk [136]
We will use this formlula: Mass in grams = Number of moles x Molecular mass of 1 mole.

Since, we know the avagadro number is 6.02 x 10²³, we only have two unknown values left which are the molecular mass of CH3OH and its mole.

Molecular Mass: C = 12, H= 1, O = 16, since we have C=12, H4 = 4, O = 16, we will add them up: 12 + 4 + 16 =32

We know that one mole of anything = 6.02 x 10²³.
So we will use this formula to find the mole of methanol: Number of moles = Number of molecules / Avagadro number

Number of moles of CH3OH = (9.79 x 10^24)/6.02 x 10²³) =  16.263 moles.

Now we know that the molecular mass = 32 and the mole is = 16.263.

Now we can find its mass by using this formula: <span>Mass in grams = Number of moles x Molecular mass of 1 mole.
</span>
Mass in grams = 16.263 x 32 = 520g
