Basalt has a fine texture because it's found Underwater and the water helps it from becoming rough

a radioisotope has a half life of three hours how much of a 120g sample remains after 9 hours. what will the g amount be after 3

aksik [14]

$\huge\boxed{♔︎Answer♔︎}$

60g after 3 hours, 30g after 6 hours and 15g after 9 hours

Explanation:

Weight of the radioactive sample = 120g

half life time period = 3 hours

(a) The weight of sample after 3 hours

$\textsf{ No. of half lives} = \sf \cancel\frac{3}{3} = 1$

The fraction of sample left

$\sf { \frac{1}{2} }^{1} = \frac{1}{2}$

Mass of the sample left

$\sf \frac{1}{2} \times 120 = \cancel\frac{120}{2} = 60g$

60g of sample is left after 3 hours

(b) The weight of sample after 6 hours

$\textsf{ No. of half lives} = \sf \cancel\frac{6}{3} = 2$

The fraction of the sample left

$\sf { \frac{1}{2} }^{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}$

Mass of the sample left

$\sf \frac{1}{4} \times 120 = \cancel\frac{120}{4} = 30g$

30g of sample is left after 6 hours

$\textsf {No. of half lives} = \sf \cancel\frac{9}{3} = 3$

The fraction of sample left

$\sf { \frac{1}{2} }^{3} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8}$

Mass of sample left

$\sf \frac{1}{8} \times 120 = \cancel \frac{120}{8} = 15g$

15g of sample is left after 9 hours.

How many electrons are in the π system of the ozone molecule, o3?

algol13

Ozone 03 have 2 sigma bond and 1 pie bond.
just remember this and you can do any problem for pie and sigma with this.
single bond = 1 sigma
double bond = 1 sigma and 1 pie
triple bond = 1 signa and 2 pie

9. How long will it take 120 grams of Strontium-90 to decay to 7.5 grams? with steps pls

ryzh [129]

Answer:

116 years

Explanation:

To solve this, we will use the half life equation;

A(t) = A_o(½)^(t/t_½)

Where;

A(t) is the amount of strontium left after t years;

A_o is the initial quantity of strontium that will undergo decay;

t_½ is the half-life of strontium

t is the time it will take to decay

We are given;

A(t) = 7.5 g

A_o = 120 g

From online values, half life of strontium-90 is 29 years. Thus, t_½ = 29

Thus;

7.5 = 120 × ½^(t/29)

Divide both sides by 120 to get;

7.5/120 = ½^(t/29)

0.0625 = ½^(t/29)

In 0.0625 = (t/29) In ½

-2.772589 = (t/29) × (-0.693147)

(t/29) = -2.772589/(-0.693147)

t/29 = 4

t = 29 × 4

t = 116 years
