Answer:about 10,000 years b maybe

Explanation:Strontium-90 and cesium-137 have half-lives of about 30 years (half the radioactivity will decay in 30 years). Plutonium-239 has a half-life of 24,000 years. High-level wastes are hazardous because they produce fatal radiation doses during short periods of direct exposure.

It can stay radioactive from 1,000 to 10,000 years. I honestly don’t know which answer to choose but it’s going to be between those two.

When 7.085 grams of a hydrocarbon, CxHy, were burned in a combustion analysis apparatus, 21.71 grams of CO2 and 10.37 grams of H
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

- Empirical:

C_3H_7

- Molecular:

C_6H_{14}

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, based on the information regarding the combustion, the moles of carbon turn out:

n_C=21.71gCO_2*\frac{1molCO_2}{44gCO_2}*\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2}=0.493molC

Moreover, the moles of hydrogen:

n_H=10.37gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18gH_2O}*\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O}=1.152molH

Thus, the subscripts of carbon and hydrogen in the hydrocarbon turn out:

C=\frac{0.4934}{0.4934}=1\\H=\frac{1.15222}{0.4934}=2.335\\CH_{2.335}

Now, looking for a suitable whole number we obtain the following empirical formula as 2.335 times 3 is 7 for hydrogen:

C_3H_7

In such a way, that compound has a molar mass of 43 g/mol, thus, the whole compound's molar mass is 86.18 g/mol for which the molecular formula is twice the empirical one, therefore:

C_6H_{14}

Which is hexane.

Best regards.

C, because a homogeneous mixture is evenly mixed.

All those others would be heterogeneous (not evenly mixed).

Acetic acid (HC2H3O2) is the active ingredient in vinegar. Calculate the mass percent composition of O in acetic acid.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

53.29% of acetic acid is Oxygen

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Acetic acid it's molecular formula is HC2H3O2. This means it consists of 3 elements Carbon, Hydrogen and oxygen.

Step 2: the molar masses

The molecular mass of acetic acid is:

4* H = 4* 1.01 g/mole

2* C = 2*12 g/mole

2*O = 2* 16 g/mole

Total molar mass = 4+ 24+32 = 60.052 g/mole

Step 3: Calculate the mass percent

32 g of the 60.052 g is Oxygen

(32/60.052) *100% = 53.29%

53.29% of acetic acid is Oxygen.
