Answer:

In 70s we were not much familiar with coca cola. Pepsi were sold in liter and milk is traditionally sold locally sold in gallon.

Explanation:

Sarah Brew said that unlike to the global brand like coca cola, Pepsi are sold at global level but milk is sold at local level follow the local custom measurement. If we look back in history, the milkman sold milk door to door in the form of quartz and the gallons. Same things consumers expected from seller.

These are two ways that play a role in grocery shopping. That's why the congress make a product list in form of liter and metric and traditional inches , gallons, pounds, milk etc.

Express the following numbers as decimals: (a) 1.52 x 10^-2, (b) 7.78 x 10^-8, (c) 1 x 10^-6, (d) 1.6001 x 10^3.

Alchen [17]

Answer :

(a) 0.0152

(b) 0.0000000778

(c) 0.000001

(d) 1600.1

Explanation :

Scientific notation : It is the representation of expressing the numbers that are too big or too small and are represented in the decimal form with one digit before the decimal point times 10 raise to the power.

For example :

5000 is written as $5.0\times 10^3$

889.9 is written as $8.899\times 10^{-2}$

In this examples, 5000 and 889.9 are written in the standard notation and $5.0\times 10^3$ and $8.899\times 10^{-2}$ are written in the scientific notation.

(a) $1.52\times 10^{-2}$

The standard notation is, 0.0152

(b) $7.78\times 10^{-8}$

The standard notation is, 0.0000000778

(c) $1\times 10^{-6}$

The standard notation is, 0.000001

(d) $1.6001\times 10^{3}$

The standard notation is, 1600.1

Thallium has two stable isotopes, 203tl and 205tl. knowing that the atomic weight of thallium is 204.4, which isotope is the mor

Elza [17]

You have to figure out a way to write the two unknown abundances in terms of one variable.

The total abundance is 1 (or 100%). So if you say the abundance for the first one is X then the abundance for the second one has to be 1-X (where X is the decimal of the percentage so say 0.8 for 80%).

203(X) + 205(1-X) = 204.4

Then you just solve for X to get the percentage for TI-203.
And then solve for 1-X to get the percentage for TI-205.

After that the higher percentage would be the most abundant.

203x + 205 - 205x = 204.4
-2x + 205 = 204.4
-2x = -0.6

x = 0.3
1-x = 0.7

Then the TI-205 would have the highest percentage and would be the most abundant.

How many grams do 6.534e+24 molecules of phosphoric acid weigh?

fredd [130]

Answer:

1,063 grams H₃PO₄

Explanation:

To find the mass of phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄), you should (1) convert molecules to moles (via Avogadro's number) and then (2) convert moles to grams (via molar mass from periodic table).

Molar Mass (H₃PO₄): 3(1.008 g/mol) + 30.974 g/mol + 4(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mas (H₃PO₄): 97.99 g/mol

6.534 x 10²⁴ molecules H₃PO₄ 1 mole 97.99 g
--------------------------------------------- x ------------------------------------- x --------------
6.022 x 10²³ molecules 1 mole

= 1,063 grams H₃PO₄

Uranium-238 decays to lead-206 with a half-life of 4.5 x 109 yr. Determine how much uranium-238 decays in milligrams (to three s

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

2.15 mg of uranium-238 decays

Explanation:

For decay of radioactive nuclide-

$N=N_{0}.(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}$

where N is amount of radioactive nuclide after t time, $N_{0}$ is initial amount of radioactive nuclide and $t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ is half life of radioactive nuclide

Here $N_{0}=4.60 mg$ , $t=4.1\times 10^{9}yr$ and $t_{\frac{1}{2}}=4.5\times 10^{9}yr$

So, $N=(4.60mg)\times (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{4.1\times 10^{9}}{4.5\times 10^{9}}}$

so, N = 2.446 mg

mass of uranium-238 decays = (4.60-2.446) mg = 2.15 mg
