It would take 147 hours for 320 g of the sample to decay to 2.5 grams from the information provided.

Radioactivity refers to the decay of a nucleus leading to the spontaneous emission of radiation. The half life of a radioactive nucleus refers to the time required for the nucleus to decay to half of its initial amount.

Looking at the table, we can see that the initial mass of radioactive material present is 186 grams, within 21 hours, the radioactive substance decayed to half of its initial mass (93 g). Hence, the half life is 21 hours.

Using the formula;

k = 0.693/t1/2

k = 0.693/21 hours = 0.033 hr-1

Using;

N=Noe^-kt

N = mass of radioactive sample at time t

No = mass of radioactive sample initially present

k = decay constant

t = time taken

Substituting values;

2.5/320= e^- 0.033 t

0.0078 = e^- 0.033 t

ln (0.0078) = 0.033 t

t = ln (0.0078)/-0.033

t = 147 hours

insens350 [35]

Answer:

0.147 mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the volumetric concentration (Cv)

We will use the following expression.

Cv = Cg × ρ

Cv = 98.0 g%g × 1.84 g/mL = 180 g%mL

Step 2: Calculate the molarity of sulfuric acid

We will use the following expression.

M = mass solute / molar mass solute × liters of solution

M = 180 g / 98.08 g/mol × 0.100 L = 18.4 M

Step 3: Calculate the moles of solute in 8.00 mL of solution

8.00 × 10⁻³ L × 18.4 mol/L = 0.147 mol

Is there an optimum amount of baking soda and vinegar to put in a plastic soda bottle rocket? How would you figure that out?
Snezhnost [94]
Add 1 tsp. of vinegar to the canister at a time, filling it almost to the top. You need to add as much vinegar to the canister as possible without the vinegar and the baking soda coming into contact when you later snap the lid onto the canister. Depending on the exact canister, this may be around 5 tsp.

Suppose water did not form hydrogen bonds.
Vilka [71]

-70°C

Sink

little

hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

Completing the statements:

Water's boiling point would have been close to -70°C. Ice would sink in water. Water would release little heat to warm land during the winter. Ice is less dense than water because of the hydrogen bonding that forms a hexagonal structure in water.

The unique property of water is as a result of its hydrogen bonding. Water is a polar covalent compound. Like most covalent compound, water would have naturally had a very low boiling point.

The intermolecular forces all hydrogen bonding gives water its unique nature.

Hydrogen bond is formed by an attraction between hydrogen one water water molecule and  more electronegative atom on another molecule usually oxygen, nitrogen and fluorine.

They form very strong intermolecular interaction responsible for the behavior of water.

The higher specific heat capacity of water is due to this bond. It absorbs a lot of heat and does not release them on time. This causes water release heat during winter.

Water has a hexagonal shape or structure linking each molecules.
