175.24g of strontium equals how many moles
OverLord2011 [107]
Using dimensional analysis, we can find the moles of strontium by comparing the mass of strontium to it's atomic mass.
You can find the atomic mass of Sr on the periodic table:
Atomic Mass Sr = 87.62g/mol

In case you are not familiar, dimensional analysis works like this:
(what we know) x (conversion factor) = what we are looking for

The conversion factor compares the units of what we know to the units of what we are looking for. In this case, the conversion factor is:
1 mol/87.62g

The important thing to note about the conversion factor is that you want to be able to cancel out the units of your given measurement (in this case, it is the mass)

So, our full solution will be:
moles Sr = (175.24 g)x(1 mol/87.62 g)
(cancel out the mass units)
moles Sr = 175.24 x 1 mol/87.62
= 2.00 mol Sr

Hope this helped you!

How are half life and radioactive decay related
hoa [83]

Answer : Half life and radioactive decay are inversely proportional to each other.

Explanation :

The mathematic relationship between the half-life and radioactive decay :

N=N_oe^{-\lambda t}              ................(1)

where,

N = number of radioactive atoms at time, t

N_o = number of radioactive atoms at the beginning when time is zero

e = Euler's constant = 2.17828

t = time

\lambda = decay rate

when t=t_{1/2} then the number of radioactive decay become half of the initial decay atom i.e N=\frac{N_o}{2}.

Now substituting these conditions in above equation (1), we get

\frac{N_o}{2}=N_oe^{-\lambda t_{1/2}}

By rearranging the terms, we get

\frac{1}{2}=e^{-\lambda t_{1/2}}

Now taking natural log on both side,

ln(\frac{1}{2})=-\lambda \times t_{1/2}

By rearranging the terms, we get

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{\lambda}

This is the relationship between the half-life and radioactive decay.

Hence, from this we conclude that the Half life and radioactive decay are inversely proportional to each other. That means faster the decay, shorter the half-life.

A scientist is studying a radioactive element that has a half-life of 63 years. Choose the correct answers from the drop-down me
attashe74 [19]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

63 years

Eighth

The number of half lives

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

It will take 63 years for half of the sample to decay

In 189 years, eighth of the sample will be left

Scientists can figure out how old a sample is by multiplying the number of half lives by the length of the half life.

Half life is the time taken by a radioactive sample to decay to half of the original amount.

Therefore, for a radioactive element with a half-life of 63 years, it will take 63 years for the sample to decay to half of the original amount.

After 189 years, only an eighth of the sample will be left.

That is, 189 years is equivalent to 3 half-lives

Therefore, if the original amount is 1, then;

1 → 0.5 → 0.25 → 0.125

Thus, scientists can figure out how old a sample is by multiplying the number of half lives by the length of the half life.

When two substances combine to form a mixture, the properties of the substances change. True False
jonny [76]

Answer:

Tell students that sometimes when two (or more) substances are mixed together, a change occurs and another substance (or substances) is created. This is called a chemical reaction. Gas may form, heat may be produced, and color may change. These types of changes indicate that a chemical reaction has occurred.
