Answer:

15.32 days

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Half-life (t½) = 3.83 days

Original amount (N₀) = 225 g

Amount remaining (N) = 14.06 g

Time (t) =.?

Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapsed. This can be obtained as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 225 g

Amount remaining (N) = 14.06 g

Number of half-lives (n) =?

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

14.06 = 225 / 2ⁿ

Cross multiply

14.06 × 2ⁿ = 225

Divide both side by 14.06

2ⁿ = 225 / 14.06

2ⁿ = 16

Express 16 in index form with 2 as the base

2ⁿ = 2⁴

n = 4

Thus, 4 half-lives has elapsed.

Finally, we shall determine the time. This can be obtained as follow:

Half-life (t½) = 3.83 days

Number of half-lives (n) = 4

Time (t) =.?

n = t / t½

4 = t / 3.83

Cross multiply

t = 4 × 3.83

t = 15.32 days

Therefore the time for 225 g sample of Radon to decay to 14.06 g is 15.32 days

A solution contains 90 milliequivalents of HC1 in 450ml. What is its normality?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Normality N = 0.2 N

Explanation:

Normality is the number of gram of equivalent of solute divided of volume of solution, where the number of gram of equivalent of solute is weight of the solute divided by the equivalent weight.

Normality is represented by N.

Mathematically, we have :

\mathbf{Normality \ N = \dfrac{Number \ of \ gram \of \ equivalent\  of\  solute }{volume \ of \ solution}}

Given that:

number of gram of equivalent of solute = 90 milliequivalents 90 × 10⁻³ equivalent

volume of solution (HCl) = 450 mL 450 × 10⁻³ L

\mathbf{Normality \ N = \dfrac{90 \times 10^{-3}}{450 \times 10^{-3}}}

Normality N = 0.2 N

I need help please, thanks!
oee [108]

Answer:

This question is somehow not clear, because a typical human eye can notice objects which have wavelengths from about 380 to 740 nanometers. This is called visible spectrum (the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye). Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light.

Someone even can see extra colors - they able to see beyond the visible spectrum. The reason that the human eye can see the spectrum is because those specific wavelengths stimulate the retina in the human eye. The human retina can only detect incident light that falls in waves from about 380 to 740 nanometers long, so we can’t see microwave or ultraviolet wavelengths. This also applies to infrared lights which has wavelengths longer than visible and shorter than microwaves, thus being invisible to the human eye.

In conclusion, the human eye can not notice that objects with wavelength not in the range of 380 to 740 nanometers.
