Answer:

91.16% has decayed & 8.84% remains

Explanation:

A = A₀e⁻ᵏᵗ => ln(A/A₀) = ln(e⁻ᵏᵗ) => lnA - lnA₀ = -kt => lnA = lnA₀ - kt

Rate Constant (k) = 0.693/half-life = 0.693/10³yrs = 6.93 x 10ˉ⁴yrsˉ¹

Time (t) = 1000yrs  

A = fraction of nuclide remaining after 1000yrs

A₀ = original amount of nuclide = 1.00 (= 100%)  

lnA = lnA₀ - kt

lnA = ln(1) – (6.93 x 10ˉ⁴yrsˉ¹)(3500yrs) = -2.426

A = eˉ²∙⁴²⁶ = 0.0884 = fraction of nuclide remaining after 3500 years

Amount of nuclide decayed = 1 – 0.0884 = 0.9116 or 91.16% has decayed.

Vinegar is a solution of acetic acid (the solute) in water (the solvent) with a solution density of 1010 g/L. If vinegar is 0.80
Damm [24]

Answer:

4.8 %

Explanation:

We are asked the concentration in % by mass, given the molarity of the solution and its density.

0.8 molar solution means that we have 0.80 moles of acetic acid in 1 liter of solution. If we convert the moles of acetic acid to grams, and the 1 liter solution to grams, since we are given the density of solution, we will have the values necessary to calculate the % by mass:

MW acetic acid = 60.0 g/mol

mass acetic acid (the solute) = 0.80 mol x 60 g / mol = 48.00 g

mass of solution = 1000 cm³ x 1.010 g/ cm³      (1l= 1000 cm³)

                            = 1010 g

% (by mass) = 48.00 g/ 1010 g  x 100 = 4.8 %

How does the periodic table make it easier for the scientist to work with and study elements
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The periodic table has gone through many changes since Dmitri Mendeleev drew up its original design in 1869, yet both the first table and the modern periodic table are important for the same reason: The periodic table organizes elements according to similar properties so you can tell the characteristics of an element just by looking at its location on the table
