9. How long will it take 120 grams of Strontium-90 to decay to 7.5 grams?
with steps pls​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

116 years

Explanation:

To solve this, we will use the half life equation;

A(t) = A_o(½)^(t/t_½)

Where;

A(t) is the amount of strontium left after t years;

A_o is the initial quantity of strontium that will undergo decay;

t_½ is the half-life of strontium

t is the time it will take to decay

We are given;

A(t) = 7.5 g

A_o = 120 g

From online values, half life of strontium-90 is 29 years. Thus, t_½ = 29

Thus;

7.5 = 120 × ½^(t/29)

Divide both sides by 120 to get;

7.5/120 = ½^(t/29)

0.0625 = ½^(t/29)

In 0.0625 = (t/29) In ½

-2.772589 = (t/29) × (-0.693147)

(t/29) = -2.772589/(-0.693147)

t/29 = 4

t = 29 × 4

t = 116 years

Why do mammals require lungs? Provide 3 reasons.

Answers

I can only find 2, I hope this helps

-To deliver oxygen to the cells of the body's tissues and remove carbon dioxide.
- The lungs also remove carbon dioxide from the blood. If carbon dioxide built up in a body, death would result.
All life respires, or breathes. Respiration in mammals is similar to respiration in other air-breathing animals. Respiration extracts oxygen from the air, which is then used by cells. Respiration also carries waste carbon dioxide away from the cells. Although respiration depends on other systems, like the circulatory system, to take oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from cells, the respiratory system has the primary responsibility of bringing oxygen in to a mammal's body and sending carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Mammalian respiration occurs in the animal’s respiratory system. A respiratory system is made up of muscles and airways that work to bring fresh air into lungs where oxygen is exchanged in blood for carbon dioxide. The airways are often lined with hairs or other structures that help to clean the air of dust and microbes before it enters the lungs.

Mammalian respiratory systems rely on a single large muscle at the base of the lungs. This muscle is called a diaphragm. The diaphragm pulls the lungs downward to increase their volume, causing air to rush into the lungs. As it presses upward, the lungs become smaller, and air is exhaled. Muscles in the rib cage work in consort with the diaphragm to expand and contract the lungs.

Given

m =  0.15 g menthol

V = 0.0337 L

T = 150 +273 = 423 K

P = 100.2 kPa =0.99 atm

Required

molar mass

The molecular formula

Solution

Ideal gas law :

PV=nRT

n=PV/RT

n=0.99 x 0.0337/0.082 x 423

n=9.6 x 10⁻⁴

n =  mass/Molar mass

Molar mass = mass/n

Molar mass = 0.15/9.6 x 10⁻⁴

Molar mass = 156.25 g/mol

The empirical formula of Menthol : C₁₀H₂₀O

(The empirical formula)n= molecular formula

(C₁₀H₂₀O)n=156.25

(12.011.10+1,007.20+15,999)n=156.25

(156.25)n=156.25

Given the following reaction, how many liters of H2 gas are needed to form 35.5 grams of NH3?

N2 + 3H2 -> 2NH3

Answers

Answer:

170.4L

Explanation:

The reaction equation is given as:

        N₂  +   3H₂  →    2NH₃  

Mass of NH₃    =  35.5g

Problem:

How many liters of H₂ are needed to produce 35.5g of NH₃  

Solution:

To solve this problem, let us find the number of moles of NH₃;

           Number of moles  = [tex]\frac{mass}{molar mass}[/tex]

Molar mass of NH₃   = 14 + 3(1)  = 17g/mol

 So;

            Number of moles  = [tex]\frac{35.5}{17}[/tex]  = 5.07mole

From the balanced reaction equation:

               2 mole of NH₃   will be produced from 3 mole of H₂  

               5.07mole of NH₃ will produce  [tex]\frac{5.07 x 3}{2}[/tex]   = 7.61mole of H₂

At STP;

       1 mole of gas will occupy 22.4L

     7.61 mole of H₂ will occupy 7.61 x 22.4  = 170.4L

The ability for a substance to flow is fluidity.

Which substances show flowing?

Only liquid and gaseous substances have the ability to flow from one point to other as they have weak intermolecular force in it.

Fluidity is the quantity which gives idea about the ability of that substance to flow. At normal conditions at room temperature, any substance has the tendency to distort its shape in order to flow or take the shape of the container it is enclosed in.

Hence the ability for a substance to flow is fluidity.

PLEASE HELP!! THANK YOU

Answer:

A. It's the same as the original piece

Explanation:

The piece of matter is the same as that of the original piece.

When the mass of the two new pieces are combined, it the same as the single and whole one.

Mass is the amount of matter contained within a substance.

When the whole is broken into two and there is no mass loss, the mass is retained when they are brought together again. In most cases mass is always conserved even physical changes.

What number of cations is present in 1.17g of sodium chloride ?

Answers

Answer:

1.2 × 10^22 atoms.

Explanation:

Firstly, cations refers to the positively charged atom in the ionic compound, which is Na+.

Given the mass of NaCl as 1.17g, the number of moles of NaCl can be calculated this:

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5

= 58.5g/mol

Mole = mass/molar mass

Mole = 1.17/58.5

Mole = 0.02moles

Using Avagadro's number, 6.022 × 10^23 atoms of Na+ are in 1 mole of NaCl.

In 0.02 moles of NaCl, there are 0.02 × 6.022 × 10^23 of Na+

0.1204 × 10^23 atoms

1.2 × 10^22 atoms of Na+ (cation)
