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

Explain why alkanes can be described as hydrocarbons.
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

<h3>The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) defines alkanes as "acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2, and therefore consisting entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms". ... The number of carbon atoms may be considered as the size of the alkane.</h3>

Two liquids, 1 and 2, are in equilibrium in a u-tube that is open at both ends. the liquids do not mix, and liquid 1 rests on to
Artyom0805 [142]
I believe the density p1 is greater than the density p2 .
Since the liquid are at equilibrium in the the open U-tube, the pressure at which the liquids meet should be the same. That is at the position where they are in contact, the pressure that liquid 1 exerts at that point is the same as the pressure exerted by liquid 2 at the point.

Given the reaction for the nickel-cadmium battery: 2NiOOH + Cd +2H2O -&gt; 2Ni(OH)2 + Cd(OH)2 What species is oxidized during th
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Cd is oxidized during the discharge of the battery

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

2 NiOOH + Cd + 2H₂O → 2Ni(OH)₂ + Cd(OH)₂

And knowing Oxygen and hydrogen never change its charge, we must to find oxidation state of Ni and Cd before and after the reaction:

<em>Ni:</em>

In NiOOH: 2 O = -2*2 = -4 + 1H = +1, = -4 + 1 = -3. And as the molecule is neutral, Ni is 3+

In Ni(OH)₂: OH = -1. As there are 2 OH = -2. That means Ni is +2

The Ni is gaining one electron, that means is been reduced

<em>Cd:</em>

Cd before reaction is as pure solid with oxidation state = 0

Cd after the reaction is as Cd(OH)₂: 2 OH = -2. That means Cd is +2

The Cd is loosing 2 electrons, that means is the species that is oxidized.

Which temperature equation do you use when trying to find Celsius?
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer: First subtract 32 degrees, then multiply the result by 5/9 (0.556 on a calculator). For example, suppose a thermometer reads 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Subtract 32 from 68, leaving 36. Multiply 36 by 5/9, which equals 20 degrees Celsius.
