Answer:

116 years

Explanation:

To solve this, we will use the half life equation;

A(t) = A_o(½)^(t/t_½)

Where;

A(t) is the amount of strontium left after t years;

A_o is the initial quantity of strontium that will undergo decay;

t_½ is the half-life of strontium

t is the time it will take to decay

We are given;

A(t) = 7.5 g

A_o = 120 g

From online values, half life of strontium-90 is 29 years. Thus, t_½ = 29

Thus;

7.5 = 120 × ½^(t/29)

Divide both sides by 120 to get;

7.5/120 = ½^(t/29)

0.0625 = ½^(t/29)

In 0.0625 = (t/29) In ½

-2.772589 = (t/29) × (-0.693147)

(t/29) = -2.772589/(-0.693147)

t/29 = 4

t = 29 × 4

t = 116 years

What is the main idea behind pyrolysis?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

The process of thermal decomposition of organic materials (carbon based materials) at very high temperature and absence of oxygen is known as pyrolysis.

The temperature for such process is generally 430 °C or 800 °F. This causes simultaneous change in physical phase and chemical composition of the organic material. The process is irreversible in nature.

The resultant products mostly have more useful properties than the original one. Thus, to bring the greater value to the common organic material and waste, the idea of pyrolysis is important.

Describe the chemical reaction of: <br> NH3(g)+O2(g) -&gt; NO(g)+ H2O
Pie

Answer:

Oxidation of ammonia

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

NH₃ + O₂ → NO + H₂O

Balanced chemical equation:

4NH₃ + 5O₂ → 4NO + 6H₂O

The given reaction shows the oxidation ammonia. When oxygen react with ammonia it form nitrogen monoxide and water vapors. Nitrogen monoxide decomposes in air.

It can be seen that the given reaction also follow the law of conservation of mass. There are four nitrogen, ten oxygen and twelve hydrogen atoms on both side of equation.

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

What is the expected number of valence electrons in an atom of the element flerovium in ground state
ehidna [41]
Flerovium at its ground state is solid. It has electron configuration of [Rn]5f¹⁴6d¹⁰7s²7p². The expected number of valence electrons in a flerovium atom is 2. A ground state is the most stable state of an atom at satndard temperature and pressure.
