Uranium-232 will remain 11.72 g

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.

Usually radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.

The main particles are emitted by radioactive elements so that they generally decay are alpha (α), beta (β) and gamma (γ) particles

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

t 1/2 = half-life = 68.8 years

T = duration of decay = 344 years

No= initial sample = 375 g

Uranium-232 remain :

$\tt Nt=375.\dfrac{1}{2}^{344/68.8}\\\\Nt=375.\dfrac{1}{2}^5\\\\Nt=11.72~g$

lozanna [386]

Answer:

B.) A hot liquid or air that expands, becomes less dense, and rises or becomes more dense and sinks.

Explanation:

Convention is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.

dentify the correct formula for the following ionic compounds. - sodium chloride - magnesium chloride - calcium oxide - lithium

andrey2020 [161]

Explanation:

The chemical formula of an ionic compound can be written by using the symbols of the respective cations and anions.

The overall charge on the molecule should be zero.

Hence, the total charge of cations=total charge of anions.

The symbols of the given molecules are shown below:

sodium chloride ---- NaCl

magnesium chloride --- $MgCl_2$

calcium oxide ---- CaO

lithium phosphide---- $Li_3P$

aluminum sulfide ----- $Al_2S_3$

calcium nitride---- $Ca_3N_2$

For an aqueous solution of hf, determine the van't hoff factor assuming 0% and 100% ionization, respectively. a solution is made

Snowcat [4.5K]

According to Osmotic pressure equation:

π = i M R T

When π =0.307 atm & M = 0.01 mol & R (constant)= 0.0821 L-atom/mol-K &
T= 22+273 = 295 Kelvin

So Van't half vector i = π / (MRT)
= 0.307 / (0.01 * 0.0821 * 295)
= 1.27

When there is no dissociation, i = no. of moles of Hf in 1 L of solution = (1-X)
and when there is a complete dissociation so it is equal 2X according to this equation

HF(aq) + H2O (L) ⇆ H3O (aq) + F (aq)
(1-X) X X

∴ i = (1-X) + (2x)

1.27 = 1+X
∴X= 1.27 - 1 = 0.27
∴ the percent ionization of the acid X = 27 %

The harmonic law would suggest that Neptune will take how much time to orbit the Sun than Mercury?

Delicious77 [7]

The harmonic law would suggest that Neptune will take a longer amount of time to orbit the sun than Mercury. That's what I think anyways
