Phosphorus-32 has a half life of 14.3 days. How many days will it take for a

It will take 42.9 days

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{T/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

T = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

t1/2=14.3 days

Nt/No=1/8

\tt Nt=No(\dfrac{1}{2})^{T/t1/2}\\\\\dfrac{Nt}{No}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/t1/2}\\\\\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/t1/2}\\\\(\dfrac{1}{2})^3=\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/t1/2}\\\\3=T/14.3\rightarrow T=42.9~days

PLEASEEEE HELP MEEEEE
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

3.82 x 10²¹ molecules As₂O₃

Explanation:

To find the amount of molecules arsenic (III) oxide (As₂O₃), you need to (1) convert kg to lbs, then (2) convert g As₂O₃ to moles As₂O₃ (via molar mass), and then (3) convert moles to molecules (via Avogadro's number).

1 kilogram = 2.2 lb

Molar Mass (As₂O₃): 2(74.992 g/mol) + 3(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (As₂O₃): 197.978 g/mol

Avogadro's Number:

6.022 x 10²³ molecules = 1 mole

0.0146 g As₂O₃            1 kg                  189 lb
------------------------  x  ---------------  x  ------------------  x   ................
         1 kg                     2.2 lb          

       1 mole                6.022 x 10²³ molecules
x  ------------------  x  ---------------------------------------  = 3.82 x 10²¹ molecules As₂O₃
      197.978 g                        1 mole

Why do group 1 cations form precipitates when mixed with hcl?
Xelga [282]
Both of you are overlooking a pretty big component of the question...the Group I cation isn't being dissociated into water. We're testing the solubility of the cation when mixed with HCl. And this IS a legitimate question, seeing as our lab manual is the one asking. 

<span>By the way, the answer you're looking for is "Because Group I cations have insoluble chlorides". </span>

<span>"In order...to distinguish cation Group I, one adds HCl to a sample. If a Group I cation is present in the sample, a precipitate will form." </span>
