A half life of 29 years means that after 29 years, only half of this isotope would be left due to radioactive decay. If we start of with 2000g of it and leave it for 116 years, it would undergo 4 "half=lives". 116/29 = 4. So after the first half life, we would have 2000g/2 = 1000g left. After the second, we would have 500g left, after the third, 250g so after 4 half lives or 116 years, there would be 125 g  of Strontium-90 left at the site.

What is the mass of an object that has a density of 0.500 g/cm3 and a volume of 5.00 mL?
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 2.5 g</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

<h3>mass = Density × volume</h3>

From the question

density = 0.5 g/cm³

1 mL = 1 cm³

5 mL = 5 cm³

volume = 5 cm³

The mass is

mass = 0.5 × 5

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.5 g</h3>

Hope this helps you

How many ml of a 0.50m solution of hno3 solution are needed to make 500 ml of 0.15m hno3
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

150.0 mL.

Explanation:

  • It is known that the no. of millimoles of HNO₃ before dilution = the no. of millimoles of HNO₃ after dilution.

∵ (MV) before dilution = (MV) after dilution.

<em>∴ V before dilution = (MV) after dilution / M before dilution</em> = (0.15 M)(500.0 mL)/(0.50 M) = <em>150.0 mL.</em>

Material A has a small latent heat of fusion. Material B has a large heat of fusion. Which of the following statements is true?
Olin [163]
The correct answer would be the first option. Material A having a smaller latent heat of fusion would mean that it will take only less energy to phase change into the liquid phase. Latent of heat of fusion is the amount of energy needed of a substance to phase change from solid to liquid or liquid to solid.
