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.

The molar mass of oxygen gas (O2) is 32.00 g/mol. The molar mass of C3H8 is 44.1 g/mol. What mass of O2, in grams, is required t
Ira Lisetskai [31]
The reaction formula of this is C3H8 + 5O2 --> 3CO2 + 4H2O. The ratio of mole number of C3H8 and O2 is 1:5. 0.025g equals to 0.025/44.1=0.00057 mole. So the mass of O2 is 0.00057*5*32=0.0912 g.

Explain this method (Froth floatation method)..........​
Svetach [21]

Answer:

froth flotation is a technique commonly used in the mining industry. In this technique, particles of interest are physically separated from a liquid phase as a result of differences in the ability of air bubbles to selectively adhere to the surface of the particles, based upon their hydrophobicity.

Explanation:

Froth floatation method is commonly used to concentrate sulphide ore such as galena (PbS), zinc blende (ZnS) etc. (ii) In this method, the metaalic ore particles which are perferentially wetted by oil can be separated from gangue. (iii) In this method, the crushed ore is suspended in water and mixed with frothing agent such as pine oil, eucalyptus oil etc. (iv) A small quantity of sodium ethyl xanthate which act as a collector is also added. (v) A froth is generated by blowing air through this mixture. (vi) The collector molecules attach to the ore particles and make them water repellent. (vii) As a result, ore parrticles, wetted by the oil, rise to the surface along with the froth. (viii) The froth is skimmed off and dried to recover the concentration ore. (ix) The gangue particles that are preferentially wetted by water settle at the bottom.

the peak intensity of radiation for a particular star occurs at a wavelength of 2.0 nanometers and what spectral band is this
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
For a given peak intensity of radiation of a star that occurs at a wavelength of 2 nanometers, this is located at the spectral band of an X-ray. An X-ray's wavelength typically goes from 0.1 nano meters to 10 nano meters. Given that, the wavelength of the star fits perfectly into the range of an X-ray
