If the oxygen isotope 20O has a half-life of 15 seconds, what fraction of a sample of pure 20O remains after 1.0 minute?

Chemistry

Answer:

1/16

Explanation:

We have the half life of ²⁰O = 15 seconds

This half life means that the reactant 8s going to be half at this time

Now we have 60 seconds = 1 minute

Then in 60 seconds we are going to have 4 half life.

Then ²⁰O will be 1/2⁴

1/2⁴ = 1/16

This is the answer to this question.

Thank you!

Answer:

b . Irradiated food is shown to not be radioactive.

Explanation:

If it can be proven that irradiated food is not radioactive, then it will effective dispute the idea that irradiated food are less safe to eat.

  • An irradiated food is one in which ionizing radiations have been employed to improve food quality.
  • Thus, bacteria and other food spoilers can be exterminated from the food.
  • Most irradiated food do not contain radiation and are fit for consumption.

If it can be proven, that this is true, then it will challenge the idea that irradiated foods are not safe.

An unknown solid is entirely soluble in water. On addition of dilute HCl, a precipitate forms. After the precipitate is filtered
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Pb(NO3)2

Cd(NO3)2

Na2SO4

Explanation:

In the first part, addition of HCl leads to the formation of PbCl2 which is poorly soluble in water. This is the first precipitate that is filtered off.

When the pH is adjusted to 1 and H2S is bubbled in, CdS is formed. This is the second precipitate that is filtered off.

After this precipitate has been filtered off and the pH is adjusted to 8, addition of H2S and (NH4)2HPO4 does not lead to the formation of any other precipitate.

The yellow flame colour indicates the presence of Na^+ which must come from the presence of Na2SO4.

Express the quantity 556.2 x 10^-12 in each units<br> A.) ms<br> B.) ns<br> C.) ps<br> D.) fs
zavuch27 [327]
The answer:
we should know the meaning of each abbreviation:
ms means  millisecond, its value is 10^-3 s 
ns means  means  nanosecond,   its value is 10^-9 s
ps means  picosecond, its value is 10^-12 s
fs means  femtosecond, its value is 1x 10^15 s

<span>Expressions of the quantity 556.2 x 10^-12 are</span>
556.2 x 10^-12 =556.2 ps
556.2 x 10^-12 =556.2 x 10^-9 x 10^-3= 556.2 x 10^-9 ms
556.2 x 10^-12 = 556.2 x 10^-3 x 10^-9 = 556.2 x 10^-3 ns
556.2 x 10^-12 = 556.2 x 10^- 27 x 10^15 = 556.2 x 10^- 27 fs

Application of boyle's law a 12-liter tank contains helium gas pressurized to 160 atm. part b what size tank would be needed to
son4ous [18]
<span>According to Mendeleyev-Klapeyron’s equation pV = nRT, where p = 160 atm V = 12 R -constant 0.0821 & T = 298 in Kelvin Using given data, we can determine the amount of Helium gas: n = pV/RT = (160â™12)/(0,0821â™298) = 78,48 (mol) For atmospheric pressure (1 atm) and the same amount we can calculate the volume of tank, using previous equation: V = nRT/p = (78,48â™0,0821â™298)/1 = 1920 (liters) V = 1920 liters Thus Answer is 1920 liters</span>
