Answer:

32 days

Explanation:

Half life is the amount of time it takes to get to half of the starting concentration / amount.

Starting amount = 250 g

Half life = 8 days

Amount left = 15.625 g

How many days ? That is, how many half lives....

After first Half life;

Amount left = 250 / 2 = 125 g

After second half life;

Amount left = 125 / 2 = 62.5 g

After third half life;

Amount left = 62.5 / 2 = 31.25 g

After fourth half life;

Amount left = 31.25 g / 2 = 15.625 g

That is the radioactive iodine - 131 went though four half lives.

How many days = Number of half lives * Half life

How many days = 4 * 8 = 32 days

Ammonia, NH3, is a typical ingredient in household cleaners. It is produced through a combination reaction involving N2(g) and H
GalinKa [24]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3

We are given the amount of hydrogen gas to be used in the reaction. This will be the starting point of the calculations.

24.0 mol H2 (2 mol NH3 / 3 mol H2 ) = 16 mol NH3

Therefore, ammonia produced from the reaction given is 16 moles.

How much energy (kJ) is required to change 0.18 mole of ice (s) at 0 C to water (l) at 0 C?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:25,06 kJ of energy must be added to a 75 g block of ice.

ΔHfusion(H₂O) = 6,01 kJ/mol.

T(H₂O) = 0°C.

m(H₂O) = 75 g.

n(H₂O) = m(H₂O) ÷ M(H₂O).

n(H₂O) = 75 g ÷ 18 g/mol.

n(H₂O) = 4,17 mol.

Q = ΔHfusion(H₂O) · n(H₂O)

Q = 6,01 kJ/mol · 4,17 mol

Q = 25,06 kJ.

Let’s assume that you put a balloon into the freezer. Initially,the balloon had 3.0liters of gas at a pressure of 400kPa and was
EastWind [94]
Here, we should use combined gas law which can be derived from combined gas law, “PV=nRT”. Rearranging, we can get PV/T=nR. Then we can set the two states in the problem together to get

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Then just plug in and solve algebraically.
