What you need to do is find 1/8 of 50
you can just divide 50 by 8 to get 6.25
so now you have to find how many days it will take till there are 6.25 grams of iodine left
every 8.1 days its mass is split in half 
so start splitting it in half and every time you do, you add 8.1 days
50/2 =25                                               8.1
25/2 =12.5                                        +  8.1
12.5/2= 6.25                                      +8.1
now you have reached 1/8 of the original amount of Iodine-131
so to find how long it took just add 8.1+8.1+8.1
(this is the same as 8.1x3)
which equals 24.3
it will take 24.3 days for Iodine 131 to decay to 1/8  of its original mass.

(good luck on the regent if thats what your studying for :)

It doesn't matter what the original mass is. 1/8 is (1/2)-cubed, and 3 half-lives is 8.3 days.

Which has more calories: table sugar or aspartame?
Alina [70]
Aspartame produces 4 kilocalories of energy per gram when metabolized, While table sugar produces 3.9 kilocalories. However, aspartame is approximately 200 times sweeter than table of sugar, so it is consumed in much smaller doses. Then we can say that they're pretty much the same

You need to dissolve CaCl2 in water to make a mixture that is 40.0% calcium chloride by mass. If the total mass of the mixture i
AlekseyPX
In order to calculate for the amount of CaCl2 and water used we need to multiply the total amount mixture to the percentage of each component. Since we are given a two component mixture CaCl2-water with 40% CaCl2 by mass, therefore we have 60% water.

Amount of CaCl2 = 0.40*(370.9) =148.36 g of CaCl2 
Amount of Water = 0.60*(370.9) = 222.54 g of Water

There are 342 g of sucrose in 1.00 mol of sucrose. What is the molar concentration (molarity) of a solution containing 171 g suc
Elodia [21]
To get the molarity, you divide the mass in moles over the amount in liters. To convert the grams to moles, divide the amount of grams by the molar mass. In this case, I believe sucrose has a molar mass of 342.297. Once you divide 171/342.297 you should get .4996. Now divide that by the .750 to get a final answer of .6660. Check to make sure you don't have to follow the significant figure rules.
