Answer:

The amount left after 49.2 years is 3mg.

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of tritium = 12.3 years

Total mass pf tritium = 48.0 mg

Mass remain after 49.2 years = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of half lives.

Number of half lives = T elapsed/ half life

Number of half lives =  49.2 years /12.3 years

Number of half lives =  4

Now we will calculate the amount left after 49.2 years.

At time zero 48.0 mg

At first half life = 48.0mg/2 = 24 mg

At second half life = 24mg/2 = 12 mg

At 3rd half life = 12 mg/2 = 6 mg

At 4th half life =  6mg/2 = 3mg

The amount left after 49.2 years is 3mg.

MnO2 + 4HCl reacts to form MnCl2 + CL2 + 2H2O If .86 mol of MnO2 and 48.2 g of HCl react, which reactant is the limiting reagent
Katen [24]
HCl:
<span>
m=48,2g
M=36,5g/mol

n = m/M = 48,2g / 36,5g/mol = 1,32mol

1mol          : 4mol
MnO</span>₂        + 4HCl ⇒ MnCl₂ + Cl₂ + 2H₂O
0,86mol     :  1,32mol
                     limiting reagent 
0,33 will react

HCl is limiting reagent.

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

B. Bohr’s model electrons cannot exist between orbits, but in the electron cloud model, the location of the electrons cannot be predicted.

AND

C. The modern model explains all available data about atoms; Bohr’s model does not.

If the oxidation number of an atom decreases, the atom has undergone oxidation.
Bumek [7]

Oxidation is a process when an atom, a group of atoms, or an ion loses electrons.

For example,

Cu⁰ -------> Cu⁺² + 2e⁻. This is an oxidation process.

As we can see an oxidation number was 0, and it became +2. The oxidation number is increased. Oxidation number of the atom, when an atom has undergone oxidation, increases.

So, answer is b.False.
