Can sedimentation and decantation be used for all types of mixtures? Explain

Chemistry
1 answer:
Bumek [7]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

1. Sedimentation and decantation cannot be used for all types of mixtures.

Decantation is a separation technique in which is used to separate immiscible liquids or mixtures containing liquid and solids within them.

In decantation, gravity is used to bring the denser materials to settle at the bottom.

For homogenous mixtures, it is not possible to use decantation. A solution of sugar and water will not decant.

2. Yes, mass of an object reduces the settling time of such object in a mixture.

The higher the mass, the faster the rate of settling. Also, as we know, mass is directly proportional to density. A body with a high density will settle faster in solution.

You have 40 g of a radioisotope. If the half-life of this radioisotope is 4 days, how many grams will remain after 12 days?
anygoal [31]
With reference to radioactive material, half-life is the time required to 50% depletion of initial amount of material. 

Given: Initial amount of radioactive material = 40 g
Half life = 4 days.

Therefore, After 4 days, amount of compound left = 40/2 = 20 g
After 8 days, i.e 2 half-life, amount of compound left = 20/2 = 10 g
Finally after 12 days, i.e. 3 half-life, amount of compound left = 10/2 = 5 g

Thus, 5 <span>grams will remain after 12 days</span>
