Chromium-51 is a radioactive isotope used to label red blood cells to identify if they remain intact in the body. It has a half-

life of 27.7 days. If 0.25 mg is an approximate dose amount, how much remains after 83.1 days?

Since the half life is the the time taken for half of the Chromium-51 to decay, for n half lives, the mass of Chromium-51 will fall to 1/(2^n) of its original value. 83.1/27.7 = 3 so the mass of Chromium-51 will fall by a factor of 1/(2^3) = 1/8.
0.25 mg / 8 = 0.031 mg (2 significant figures).

What is the net ionic equation for 2Sb(OH)3 (s) + 3Na2S (aq) = Sb2S3 + 6NaOH
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

2Sb^(+3) (aq) + 3S^(-2) (aq) = Sb_2•S_3

Explanation:

First of all, let us balance the equation to give;

2Sb(OH)3 (s) + 3Na2S (aq) = Sb2S3 + 3NaOH

Now, we can observe the presence of positive Sodium ions (Na+) and negative hydroxyl ions (OH-) on both left and right sides of the equation.

Now, the two ions will cancel out. These ions are not really involved in the overall reaction and thus do not require being written in the overall equation. Hence, the overall net ionic reaction can now be written as:

2Sb^(+3) (aq) + 3S^(-2) (aq) = Sb_2•S_3

A solid sample of a compound and a liquid sample of the same compound are each tested for electrical conductivity. which test co
marshall27 [118]
If these are you choices: 
(1)  Both the solid and the liquid are good conductors.

(2)  Both the solid and the liquid are poor conductors.

(3)  The solid is a good conductor, and the liquid is a poor conductor.

(4)  The solid is a poor conductor, and the liquid is a good conductor. 

 Then the answer is number 4. This is because ionic compound conducts electricity when it is dissolved in water.

Nitrogen dioxide decomposes to nitric oxide and oxygen via the reaction: 2NO2 → 2NO + O2 In a particular experiment at 300 °C, [
serious [3.7K]

Answer: The rate of disappearance of NO_2 is 3.5\times 10^{-5}M/s

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction is:

2NO_2\rightarrow 2NO+O_2

The rate of the reaction for disappearance of NO_2 is given as:

\text{Rate of disappearance of }NO_2=-\frac{\Delta [NO_2]}{\Delta t}

Or,

\text{Rate of disappearance of }NO_2=-\frac{C_2-C_1}{t_2-t_1}

where,

C_2 = final concentration of NO_2 = 0.00650 M

C_1 = initial concentration of NO_2 = 0.0100 M

t_2 = final time = 100 minutes

t_1 = initial time = 0 minutes

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Rate of disappearance of }NO_2=-\frac{0.00650-0.0100}{100-0}\\\\\text{Rate of disappearance of }NO_2=3.5\times 10^{-5}M/s

Hence, the rate of disappearance of NO_2 is 3.5\times 10^{-5}M/s

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

    The mass was there all along, it was just in the air. The weight of the oxygen from the air is not weighed in the beginning, only at the end as part of the product, making it seem like there is a total mass change.
