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

Calculate the density of CO2 in g/cm3 at room temperature(25 degrees Celsuis) and pressure(1 atm) assuming it acts as an ideal g
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

density=1.8x10^{-3}g/mL

Explanation:

Hello,

Considering the ideal equation of state:

PV=nRT

The moles are defined in terms of mass as follows:

n=\frac{m}{M}

Whereas M the gas' molar mass, thus:

PV=\frac{mRT}{M}

Now, since the density is defined as the quotient between the mass and the volume, we get:

P=\frac{m}{V} \frac{RT}{M}

Solving for m/V:

density= m/V=\frac{PM}{RT}

Thus, the result is given by:

density=\frac{(1atm)(44g/mol)}{[0.082atm*L/(mol*K)]*298.15K} \\density=1.8g/L=1.8x10^{-3}g/mL

Best regards.

For the reaction 2hno3 + mg(oh)2 → mg(no3)2 + 2h2o, how many moles of magnesium nitrate are produced from 8.00 moles of nitric a
Sladkaya [172]
You would get four moles of magnesium nitrate :) you would have to
“ ?molesmg(oh)2 = 8molmg(no3)2 x molmg(oh)2 / 2molhno3 = 4 moles of magnesium nitrate :))) hopefully this helps! <3

How many moles of water are produced if 5.43 mol PbO2 are consumed
Mariana [72]
It has to be understood that 2 moles of oxygen are there in each mole of PbO2. Then it has to be calculated for 2 moles of oxygen.

Amount of oxygen = 2 * 5.43 moles
                              = 10.86 moles
Now it is also a fact that each mole of H2O contains 1 mole of oxygen. Then it can be easily concluded that 10.86 moles of water will be produced. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

If the compound has a molar mass of 156 g/mol, what is its molecular formula?
oksano4ka [1.4K]
I believe that the choices for this question are:
C2H4O2, C4H8O4 CH2O, C6H12O6 C3H6O3, C6H12O6 C2H4O2, C6H12O6 
 
The answer to this based on the molar masses given is:
C2H4O2, C6H12O6 
 
To prove calculate the molar mass:
C2H4O2 = 2*12 + 4*1 + 2*16 = 60
C6H12O6 = 6*12 + 12*1 + 6*16 = 180
