The answer is (4) 4. Germanium is a main group element in group 4A. Therefore, like carbon, it has 4 valence electrons in the ground state.
Explanation:
Significant figure is the measure of how accurately something can be measured. It carries meaning contributing to its measurement resolution. It is important to use proper number of significant figures to get a precise measurement. For example, if we use a meter stick then measurements like 0.874 meters, or 0.900 meters, are good because they indicate that we can measure to the nearest millimeter. Whereas a measurement like 0.8 does not tell that a meter stick can measure to the nearest millimeter.
Answer:
PbMg
Explanation:
Because they both have a charge of 2+, they can be reduced and cancel each other out because 2 and 2 can be reduced to 1
Answer:
specific heat = 0.951 j/g·°C
Explanation:
Heat flow equation => q = m·c·ΔT
q = heat flow = 4817 joules
m = mass in grams = 140 grams Aluminum
c = specific heat = ?
ΔT = Temperature Change in °C = 98.4°C - 62.2°C = 36.2°C
q = m·c·ΔT => c = q/m·ΔT = 4817j/(140g)(36.2°C) = 0.951 j/g·°C
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
2000 atoms
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
We are given the following;
Initial number of atoms of radium-226 as 8000 atoms
Time taken for the decay 3200 years
We are required to determine the number of atoms that will remain after 3200 years.
We need to know the half life of Radium
- Half life is the time taken by a radio active material to decay by half of its initial amount.
- Half life of Radium-226 is 1600 years
- Therefore, using the formula;
Remaining amount = Original amount × 0.5^n
where n is the number of half lives
n = 3200 years ÷ 1600 years
= 2
Therefore;
Remaining amount = 8000 atoms × 0.5^2
= 8000 × 0.25
= 2000 atoms
Thus, the number of radium-226 that will remain after 3200 years is 2000 atoms.
