For this problem, we use the integrated rate law for first order radioactive decay which is expressed as follows:<span>

An = Aoe^-kt

where An is the amount left after time t, Ao is the initial amount and k is a constant. 

We need to calculate first the value of k from the given ration An/Ao and the time it reached that ration. We do as follows:

An = Aoe^-kt
0.46= e^-k(9)
k = 0.0863 / day

At half life, the remaining substance would be equal to one-half of the original so that An/Ao would be equal to 1/2 or 0.50. We calculate the half-life as follows:</span>

<span>
An = Aoe^-kt
0.50 = e^-0.0863(t)
<span>t = 8.03 days</span></span>

Andreas93 [3]

Universal pH paper turns red if it is very strongly acidic, turns orange if it is strongly acidic, turns yellow if it is weakly acidic, green if it is weakly alkali and blue if it is strongly alkali.

Solution A will turn orange as it is strongly acidic

Solution B will turn blue as it is strongly alkali

Solution C will turn yellowish green as it is neutral

What is the mass of 4.85 X 10^22 atoms of iron (Fe)?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Mass = 4.5 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of atoms of iron = 4.85 ×10²² atoms

Mass of iron = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

4.85 × 10²² atoms of iron / 6.022 × 10²³ atoms × 1 mol

0.081 mol

Mass of iron:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass =  0.081 mol × 55.85 g/mol

Mass = 4.5 g
