After decaying for 48 hours, one-sixteenth (1/16) of the original mass of a radioisotope sample remains unchanged. What is the h

alf-life of this radioisotope?

The half-life of this radioisotope : 12 hr

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.  

Usually radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.  

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  

t=48 hr

\tt \dfrac{Nt}{No}=\dfrac{1}{16}

The half-life :

\tt \dfrac{1}{16}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{(48/t\frac{1}{2} )}\\\\(\dfrac{1}{2})^4=(\dfrac{1}{2})^{48/t\frac{1}{2}}\\\\4=48/t\frac{1}{2}\\\\t\frac{1}{2}=12~hr

Answer:

The answer to your question is 25.2 g of acetic acid.

Explanation:

Data

[Acetic acid] = 0.839 M

Volume = 0.5 L

Molecular weight = 60.05 g/mol

Process

1.- Calculate the number of moles of acetic acid

    Molarity = moles / volume

-Solve for moles

    moles = Molarity x volume

-Substitution

    moles = (0.839)(0.5)

-Result

    moles = 0.4195

2.- Calculate the mass of acetic acid using proportions and cross multiplications

                   60.05 g ----------------------- 1 mol

                        x        ----------------------- 0.4195 moles

                        x = (0.4195 x 60.05) / 1

                        x = 25.19 g

3.- Conclusion

25.2 g are needed to prepare 0.500 L of Acetic acid 0.839M

Why are the fruit and vegetable sections called the produce aisle?
QveST [7]
Fruits and vegetables are in the produce aisle because they are plants, and plants are producers.
Producers are organisms that create energy on their own through various processes depending on the organism.

Q. How many molecules of H2O can be produced from reactants in container below?

A. 3 molecule of molecules H2O will be produced from reactants in container.

<em><u>Explanation</u><u>:</u></em>

There are seven molecules of H2 and three molecule of O2 are there in the container Q, 6 molecules of H2 will react with 3 molecules of O2 to produce 3 molecules of H2O. One molecule of Hydrogen will not take part in reaction and will be present in container Q after then reaction, and the mass in overall reaction is conserved!

I need help with number 8 please help ASAP.

Answer:

33.33% = 33%

Explanation:

MgCO3(s) + 2HCl (aq) --> MgCl2(aq) + H20(l) + CO2(g)

1 mole of MCO3 will produce → 1 mole of CO2

We need to get the number of mole of CO2:

and when we have 0.22 g of CO2, so number of mole = mass / molar mass

Moles = 0.22 g / 44 g/mol = 0.005 mole

Moles of Mg = moles of CO2 = 0.005 mole

Mass of Mg = moles * molar mass

= 0.005 * 84 /mol = 0.42 g

Percent of MgCO3 by mass of Mg = 0.42 g / 1.26 * 100

=33.33 %
