Phosphorus-32 has a half life of 14.3 days. How many days will it take for a
radioactive sample to decay to one-eighth its original size?

Answers

Answer 1

It will take 42.9 days

Further explanation

General formulas used in decay:  

[tex]\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{T/t\frac{1}{2} }}}[/tex]

T = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

t1/2=14.3 days

Nt/No=1/8

[tex]\tt Nt=No(\dfrac{1}{2})^{T/t1/2}\\\\\dfrac{Nt}{No}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/t1/2}\\\\\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/t1/2}\\\\(\dfrac{1}{2})^3=\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/t1/2}\\\\3=T/14.3\rightarrow T=42.9~days[/tex]

Answer:

sgsgueiehéyegeysuegeteue2

Answer:

Explanation:

The answers you put are correct...

crest- A crest point on a wave is the maximum value of upward displacement within a cycle. A crest is a point on a surface wave where the displacement of the medium is at a maximum.

wavelength- In physics, the wavelength is the spatial period of a periodic wave the distance over which the wave's shape repeats. (how long the wave is)

trough- A trough is the opposite of a crest, so the minimum or lowest point in a cycle.

amplitude-  Amplitude, in physics, the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. It is equal to one-half the length of the vibration path. ... Waves are generated by vibrating sources, their amplitude being proportional to the amplitude of the source.

How many atoms are in 39.2 g of calcium?

b) 235.2 x 10^23 atoms
c) 5.89 x 10^23 atoms
d) 40.08 x 10^23 atoms

Answers

Answer:

5.89× 10²³ atoms of Ca

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Ca = 39.2 g

Number of atoms = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of Ca:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 39.2 g/40.078 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.978 mol

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

0.978 mol ×  6.022 × 10²³ atoms / 1 mol

5.89× 10²³ atoms of Ca

Answers

The new temperature : 11.56 °C

Further explanation

Boyle's law and Gay Lussac's law  

[tex]\tt \dfrac{P_1.V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2.V_2}{T_2}[/tex]

P1 = initial gas pressure (N/m² or Pa)  

V1 = initial gas volume (m³)  

P2 = final gas pressure  

V2 = final gas volume

T1 = initial gas temperature (K)  

T2 = final gas temperature  

V₁=4.39 L

T₁=44+273=317 K

P₁ = 729 torr = 0,959211 atm

V₂=3.78 L

P₂= 1 atm

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5715 years. It is used to determine the age of
ancient objects. If a sample today contains 0.060 mg of carbon-14, how much
carbon-14 will be present after 28,575?

Answers

The sample of Carbon-14 after 28,575 years=0.001875 mg

Further explanation

General formulas used in decay:  

[tex]\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{T/t\frac{1}{2} }}}[/tex]

T = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5715 years, so t1/2=5715 years

A sample today contains 0.060 mg of carbon-14, so No=0.06 mg, then :

[tex]\tt Nt=0.06(\dfrac{1}{2})^{28575/5715}\\\\Nt=0.06(\dfrac{1}{2})^5\\\\Nt=0.001875~mg[/tex]

What is the element Ar classified as in the periodic table?
a noble gas
a halogen
a metalloid
a metal

Answers

it is classified as a noble gas

The element Ar classified as noble gas in the periodic table. Therefore, the correct option is option A.

What is noble gas?

The noble gases are a group of chemical elements that share several characteristics. They are all monatomic, odourless, and colourless gases with relatively little chemical reactivity under normal conditions. Oganesson (Og) is a highly radioactive element created synthetically.

Although the IUPAC has included oganesson since "group 18" and "noble gas" have been used interchangeably, oganesson may not be appreciably chemically noble and therefore is projected to deviate from the norm and just be reactive owing to relativistic effects. Its chemistry is still being studied due to the exceptionally short 0.7 ms ½ of its sole known isotope. The element Ar classified as noble gas in the periodic table.

Therefore, the correct option is option A.

How many moles of nitrogen gas would be produced if 3.27 moles of copper(II) oxide were reacted with excess ammonia in the following chemical reaction? 2 NH3(g) + 3 CuO (s) – 3 Cu(s) + N2(g) + 3 H2O(g)​

Answers

Moles of Nitrogen(N₂) gas would be produced : 1.09

Further explanation

The reaction coefficient in a chemical equation shows the mole ratio of the components of the reactants and products

If one mole of the reactant or product is known, then we can determine the moles of the other compounds involved in the reaction

Reaction

2NH₃(g) + 3CuO (s) ⇒ 3Cu(s) + N₂(g) + 3 H₂O(g)​

Copper(II) oxide was reacted with excess Ammonia, so CuO as a limiting reactant and moles of the product is based on moles of CuO

moles of CuO = 3.27

From the equation, the mol ratio of CuO : mol N₂ = 3 : 1, so mol  N₂ :

[tex]\tt \dfrac{1}{3}\times 3.27=1.09[/tex]
