Sodium-25 was to be used in an experiment, but it took 3.0 minutes to get the sodium from the reactor to the laboratory. If 8.0

mg of sodium-25 was removed from the reactor, how many mg of sodium-25 were placed in the reaction vessel 3.0 minutes later if the half life of sodium-25 is 60 seconds.

Sodium-25 after 3 minutes : 1.0625 mg

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{t/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

T = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

<h3 />

No=8 mg

t1/2=60 s

T=3 min=180 s

\tt Nt=No\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/t1/2}\\\\Nt=8.5\dfrac{1}{2}^{180/60}\\\\Nt=8.5(\dfrac{1}{2})^3\\\\Nt=1.0625~mg

The molecular mass of propane-1,2-diol is 76.1 amuamu . Calculate the molecular mass of propane-1,3-diol, an isomer of propane-1
sashaice [31]

Answer:

76.1 amu

Explanation:

Let us recall that isomers refer to two different compounds with the same molecular formula but different atom to atom connectivity and different chemical properties. When two compounds are isomers, we can essentially represent them with exactly the same molecular formula.

Now propane-1,2-diol and propane-1,3-diol are both represented by the molecular formula C3H8O2 since they are isomers of each other. When two compounds have the same molecular formula, they must essentially have the same molecular mass. Hence the molecular mass of propane-1,3-diol is also 76.1 amu.

Examine the nuclear reaction: 1 1 H+ 1 0 n -&gt; 2 1 H.
Lera25 [3.4K]
1) Conversion of an isotope one chemical element or an isotope into another chemical element is called as nuclear transmutation.
<span>
2) In a nuclear transmutation reactions</span> can be achieved either due to radioactive decay or  due to nuclear reactions. 

3) In this technique, it is possible to convert a stable element into radioactive atom by bombarding in with high speed particles. The initial stable nuclei is referred as parent nuclei, the fast moving particle is referred as projectile while new element which is formed is called as daughter element.

4) In the present reaction:
                                        <span>1 1 H+ 1 0 n -> 2 1 H
1 1H is a parent nuclei which is bombarded with the fast moving projectile
(1 0 n) to generate a new daughter nuclei (2 1H). </span>

The balanced equation for photosynthesis is shown below.
klio [65]
The true answer is: It's conserved because the total number of H atoms on each side is 12.
the first two answer is wrong because it's conserved not as mentioned, It's not conserved.

and the last one also wrong because the total number of O atoms are equal at the two sides but not equal 2.
