Sodium-22 remain : 1.13 g

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.  

Usually, radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.  

General formulas used in decay:  

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

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  

half-life = t 1/2=2.6 years

T=15.6 years

No=72.5 g

\tt Nt=72.5.\dfrac{1}{2}^{15.6/2.6}\\\\Nt=72.5.\dfrac{1}{2}^6\\\\Nt=1.13~g

How many grams of antifreeze C2H4(OH)2 would be required per 500 g of water to prevent the water from freezing at a temperature
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

333.7 g.

Explanation:

  • The depression in freezing point of water (ΔTf) due to adding a solute to it is given by: <em>ΔTf = Kf.m.</em>

Where, ΔTf is the depression in water freezing point (ΔTf = 20.0°C).

Kf is the molal freezing point depression constant of the solvent (Kf = 1.86 °C/m).

m is the molality of the solution.

<em>∴ m = ΔTf/Kf</em> = (20.0°C)/(1.86 °C/m) = <em>10.75 m.</em>

molaity (m) is the no. of moles of solute per kg of the solvent.

∵ m = (no. of moles of antifreeze C₂H₄(OH)₂)/(mass of water (kg))

∴ no. of moles of antifreeze C₂H₄(OH)₂ = (m)(mass of water (kg)) = (10.75 m)(0.5 kg) = 5.376 mol.

∵ no. of moles = mass/molar mass.

<em>∴ mass of antifreeze C₂H₄(OH)₂ = no. of moles x molar mass </em>= (5.376 mol)(62.07 g/mol) =<em> 333.7 g.</em>

How do moss leaves and fish differ? How are they the same?
Lapatulllka [165]
Moss leaves and fish are different in that, the moss leave is a producer, that is, it produces its own food through photosynthesis while the fish is a consumer, it feeds on foods that are not produced by it.  
Both moss and fish are the same in the sense that both have cell as their basic unit of life, that is, they both possess cells.

A volumetric pipette has an uncertainty of 0.01cm3. What are the lowest and highest possible volumes for a measurement of 0.20cm
Anarel [89]

Answer:

Possible lowest volume = 0.19 cm

Possible highest volume = 0.21 cm

Explanation:

given data

volumetric pipette uncertainty  =  0.01 cm³

total volume = 0.20 cm³

solution

we will get here Possible lowest and highest volume that is express as

Possible lowest volume = total volume - uncertainty   .....................1

Possible highest volume = total volume + uncertainty    ....................2

put here value in both equation and we get

Possible lowest volume = 0.20 cm - 0.01 cm

Possible lowest volume = 0.19 cm

and

Possible highest volume = 0.20 cm + 0.01 cm

Possible highest volume = 0.21 cm

A 100-W lightbulb is placed in a cylinder equipped with a moveable piston. The lightbulb is turned on for 0.020 h, and the assem
nasty-shy [4]

Answer: The workdone W = 505J

Explanation:

Applying the pressure-volume relationship

W= - PΔV

Where negative sign indicates the power is being delivered to the surrounding

W = - 1.0atm * ( 5.88 - 0.9)L

= - 1.0atm * (4.98)

W = -4.98 atmL

Converting to Joules

1atmL = 101.325J

-4.98atmL = x joules.

Work done in J = -4.98 * 101.325

W= -505J

Therefore the workdone is -505J
