Answer:

10.8 days (3 sig.figs.)

Explanation:

All radioactive decay is 1st order decay defined by the expression A = A₀e^-kt

which is solved for time of decay (t) => t = ln(A/A₀) / -k

A = final weight = 1.0 gram

A₀ = initial weight = 16.0 grams

k = rate constant = 0.693/t(1/2) = 0.693/2.69 days = 0.258 days⁻¹

t = ln(1/16) / -0.258da⁻¹ = (-2.77/-0.258) days = 10.74646792 days (calculator)

≅ 10 days (1 sig. fig. based on given 1 gram mass)

What do genotype will appear in boxes 2 and 3?
VMariaS [17]
Tt is the genotype that will appear in boxes two and three.

If you look at the column and row that intersect to form boxes two and three, you will see that they are T and t. That is the best way I can describe it, sorry if it’s confusing.

When 40 grams of ammonium nitrate explode 14 grams of nitrogen and 8 grams of oxygen form. How many grams of water form
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

18 grams of water

Explanation:

The Balance Chemical Reaction is as follow,

                     2 NH₄NO₃    →    2 N₂  +  O₂  +  4 H₂O

According to Equation,

                     160 g (2 moles) NH₄NO₃ produces  =  72 g (4 moles) of H₂O

So,

                     40 g of NH₄NO₃ will produce  =  X g of H₂O

Solving for X,

                     X =  (40 g × 72 g) ÷ 160 g

                     X  =  18 g of H₂O
