Answer:
a) the minimun of acetic anhydride required for the reaction is 2.175 g (CH3CO)2O
b) V acetic anhydride = 2.010 mL
Explanation:
C6H4OHCOOH + (CH3CO)2O ↔ C9H8O4 + C2H4O2
⇒ mol salicylic acid = 2.94 g C6H4OHCOOH * ( mol C6H4OHCOOH / 138.121 g ) = 0.0213 mol C6H4OHCOOH
⇒ mol acetic anhydride = 0.0213 mol C6H4OHCOOH * ( mol (CH3CO)2O / mol C6H4OHCOOH ) = 0.0213 mol (CHECO)2O
⇒ g acetic anhydride = 0.0213 mol * ( 102.1 g/mol ) = 2.175 g CH3CO)2O
b) V = 2.175 g (CH3CO)2 * ( mL / 1.082 g ) = 2.010 mL (CH3CO)2O
Answer: It will take 29 years for a 10.0-gram sample of strontium-90 to decay to 5.00 grams
Explanation:
Radioactive decay process is a type of process in which a less stable nuclei decomposes to a stable nuclei by releasing some radiations or particles like alpha, beta particles or gamma-radiations. The radioactive decay follows first order kinetics.
Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.
Half life is represented by 

= rate constant
Given : Strontium-90 decreases in mass by one-half every 29 years , that is half life of Strontium-90 is 29 years.
As half life is independent of initial concentration, it will take 29 years for a 10.0-gram sample of strontium-90 to decay to 5.00 grams as the amount gets half.
Answer:
Helium has atomic mass 4.002602.
So the answer to yr question is helium.
In the past a scientist named dalton produced an atomic theory. There were certain problems regarding his views. So, later on scientists like chadwick, rutherford and thompson added some fresh light for the real identification of the atom.
dalton said the atom was the smallest unit and it CANNOT BE DIVIDED ANY FURTHER.
NOTE... this was renected with the discovery of the proton, neutron and electron as the sub atomic particles.
