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.

The. bond dissociation enthalpies of the H-H bond and the H-Cl bond are 435 kJ mol^-1 and 431 kJ mol^-1, respectively. The ΔHfO
Novay_Z [31]

The bond dissociation energy of the Cl - Cl bond is -958 kJ mol^-1.

<h3>What is the dissociation enthalpy?</h3>

Given that;

H-H bond energy =  435 kJ mol^-1

H-Cl bond energy = 431 kJ mol^-1

ΔHfO of HCL(g) = -92kJ mol^-1

Bond dissociation enthalpy of the Cl-Cl bond = x

-92 = 435  +  431 + x

x = -92 - (435  +  431)

x = -958 kJ mol^-1

Perform the following operationand express the answer inscientific notation.7.00x10^5 - 5.00x10^4
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Taking into account the scientific notation,  the result of the subtraction is 6.5×10⁵.

<h3>Scientific notation</h3>

First, remember that scientific notation is a quick way to represent a number using powers of base ten.

The numbers are written as a product:

a×10ⁿ

where:

  • a is a real number greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10, to which a decimal point is added after the first digit if it is a non-integer number.
  • n is an integer, which is called an exponent or an order of magnitude. Represents the number of times the comma is shifted. It is always an integer, positive if it is shifted to the left, negative if it is shifted to the right.
<h3 /><h3>Subtraction in scientific notation</h3>

You want to subtract two numbers in scientific notation. It should be noted that when the numbers to be added do not have the same base 10 exponent, the base 10 power with the highest exponent must be found. In this case, the highest exponent is 5.

Then all the values ​​are expressed as a function of the base 10 exponent with the highest exponent. In this case: 5.00×10⁴=0.500×10⁵

Taking the quantities to the same exponent, all you have to do is subtract what was previously called the number "a". In this case:

7.00×10⁵ - 0.500×10⁵= (7.00- 0.500)×10⁵= 6.5×10⁵

Finally, the result of the subtraction is 6.5×10⁵.
