All radioactive sources have a half-life.
Which statement about the half-life of a source is correct?

A. It is half the time it takes for an atom to decay

B. It is half the time for the radioactive source to become safe

C. It is the time it takes the actity of the source to decrease by half

D. It is half the time it takes the activity of the source to decrease to zero

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is C

Explanation:

Duh its the name HALF LIFE!!

just a way to remember

Answer 2

The statement which is true about the half-life of a source is (D) It is half the time it takes the activity of the source to decrease to zero. Hence the correct option is (D)

What is Half Life Period of a source ?

Half-life is the length of time it takes for a radioactive element to decay to half of its initial value.

This suggests that a source's activity has a half-life when it takes time for it to decrease to half its initial value.

It is the amount of time needed for half of the atomic nuclei in a radioactive sample to spontaneously decay, which releases energy and particles into other nuclear species. Alternatively, it is the amount of time needed for the radioactive sample to disintegrate at a rate of one per second.

Therefore, The statement which is true about the half-life of a source is (D) It is half the time it takes the activity of the source to decrease to zero. Hence the correct option is (D)

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the population density will be:

= N/A

where,

N = total population = 452

A = land area = 68km²

O A. Alkyne
O B. Alkane
C. Alkene
O D. Aromatic

Answers

C. Alkene..............

The type of molecule shown in the image has been an alkyne. Thus option A is correct.

The molecules formed by hydrogen and carbon are hydrocarbons, These are the organic compounds with the sharing of electrons in between the atoms.

The number of electrons shared results in the bond formed. The compound with only a single bond has been alkane. The presence of sharing of 2 atoms results in a double bond, and the compounds are alkene. The triple bond compounds are alkynes.

The given structure has the presence of a triple bond in the structure, thus the image has been of an alkyne. Thus, option A is correct.

The answer is 1. acid-base

Explanation:

This is pretty self-explanatory, when an acid and base react, it is called an acid-base reaction. Redox reactions are where two reactants exchange electrons, precipitation reaction is where a solid is formed, and combustion reaction is where a compound is reacted with oxygen so none of those can be the answer.

If you started with 23g of Mg and 412 ml of 2.6M HCl, find the limiting reactant. If you collected the hydrogen gas over water at a temperature of 81OC, what is the volume of just the water if the total pressure is 2.23 atm? How many grams of water vapor are in the container?

Answers

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the description of the chemical reaction, it is possible to write the corresponding equation as follows:

[tex]Mg+2HCl\rightarrow MgCl_2+H_2[/tex]

Whereas we are given the mass of magnesium and the concentration and volume of HCl; it means that we can calculate the moles of hydrogen yielded by each of these reactants in order to identify the limiting reactant:

[tex]m_{H_2}^{by\ Mg}=23gMg*\frac{1molMg}{24.305gMg}*\frac{1molH_2}{1molMg}=0.95gH_2 \\\\m_{H_2}^{by\ HCl}=0.412L*2.6\frac{molHCl}{1L}*\frac{1molH_2}{2molHCl}*=0.54gH_2[/tex]

Therefore, we infer that the limiting reactant is HCl as it yields the fewest moles of hydrogen. Next since the vapor pressure of water at 81 °C is about 0.4675 atm we infer that the pressure of hydrogen is 2.23 atm - 0.4675 atm = 1.7625 atm. In such a way, we use the ideal gas equation to obtain the volume of hydrogen:

[tex]V_{H_2}=\frac{0.54molH_2*0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*(81+273.15)K}{1.7625atm} \\\\V_{H_2}=8.9L[/tex]

Finally, since the pressure of water is 0.4675 atm and the volume is the same for both, we obtain the moles of water and subsequently the required grams as shown below:

[tex]n_w=\frac{0.4675atm*8.9L}{0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*(81+273.15)K} \\\\n_w=0.143molH_2O\\\\m_w=0.143molH_2O*\frac{18.02gH_2O}{1molH_2O} =2.6gH_2O[/tex]

How many grams would 8.88 x 1029 atoms of NaCl be equivalent to?

Answers

Answer:

8.65x10 7 grams of nacl

Explanation:

There are 6.02x10 23 atoms per one mol

so

8.88x 10 29 x (1/6.02 x 10 23)

Will give us mols of NaCl

to go from mols to grams we multiple mols by molar mass

so

1.48x10 6 mols of Nacl x 58.44 g/mol = 8.65x10 7 grams of nacl which can be converted to

how many grams of hexane(C6H14) would be need to make 562 of carbon dioxide

Answers

The mass of hexane, C₆H₁₄ that would be needed to produce 562 grams of carbon dioxide, CO2 is 183 g

How do I determine the mass of hexane, C₆H₁₄ needed?

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction.

2C₆H₁₄ + 19O₂ → 12CO₂ + 14H₂O

The following are obtained from the equation:Molar mass of C₆H₁₄ = 86 g/molMass of C₆H₁₄ from the balanced equation = 2 × 86 = 172 g Molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/molMass of CO₂ from the balanced equation = 12 × 44 = 528 g

From the balanced equation above,

528 g CO₂ were produced from 172 g of C₆H₁₄

With the above information, we shall determine the mass of hexane, C₆H₁₄ needed to produce 562 g CO₂. Details below:

From the balanced equation above,

528 g CO₂ were produced from 172 g of C₆H₁₄

Therefore,

562 g of CO₂ will react to produce = (562 × 172) / 528 = 183 g of C₆H₁₄

Thus, the mass of hexane, C₆H₁₄ needed is 183 g

Answers

Answer:

3.1x10²³

Explanation:

I'm going to answer the question assuming the number of molecules of FeCl₃ is asked, rather than the number of atoms.

Fe₂O₃ + 6HCl → 2FeCl₃ + 6H₂O

First we convert 9.3x10²³ atoms of HCl into moles of HCl, using Avogadro's number:

9.3x10²³ atoms ÷ 6.023x10²³ atoms/mol = 1.54 mol HCl

Then we convert 1.54 moles of HCl into moles of FeCl₃, using the stoichiometric coefficients of the reaction:

1.54 mol HCl * [tex]\frac{2molFeCl_3}{6molHCl}[/tex] = 0.51 mol FeCl₃

Finally we calculate how many FeCl₃ molecules are there in 0.51 moles:

0.51 mol * 6.023x10²³ molecules/mol = 3.4x10²³ molecules

The closest option is 3.1x10²³.

The number of atoms produced is four times the number of FeCl₃ molecules produced.
