The answer to this question would be: 3.125%

Half-life is the time needed for a radioactive molecule to decay half of its mass. In this case, the strontium-89 is already gone past 5 half lives. Then, the percentage of the mass left after 5 half-lives should be:
100%*(1/2^5)= 100%/32=3..125%

Luden [163]

Answer:

50 mm

4 ft

36 ft

250 cm

1 L

Explanation:

Centimeter to  millimeter:

1 cm is equal to 10 mm.

5cm× 10 mm/1 cm

50 mm

Inches to feet conversion:

1 foot is equal to 12 inches.

48 inch ×  1 feet /12 inch

4 feet

Yard to Feet conversion:

1 yard is equal to 3 feet.

12 yd × 3 ft / 1 yd

36 ft

Meter to centimeter:

One meter is equal to 100 cm.

2.5 m × 100 cm / 1m

250 cm

Milliliter to Liter:

One L is equal to 1000 mL.

1000 mL = 1 L

In attempts to lift ron's spirits, dumbledore asks him a fairly easy question: calculate the mass percent composition of carbon
Salsk061 [2.6K]
Mass percentage composition of carbon in the compound is the composition of carbon in the compound. This can be calculated by finding out the mass of carbon in the compound and the mass of the whole compound .
The compound formula is C2H5Cl
Mass of 1 mol of compound -64.5 g
Mass of carbon - 24 g
Mass percentage = 24/64.5 x100
Therefore mass composition percentage of carbon = 37.2%

How many moles of O2 should be supplied to burn 1 mol of C3H8 (propane) molecules in a camping stove
Shkiper50 [21]
The combustion of any hydrocarbon yields water and carbon dioxide. We will now construct a balanced equation:

C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

Each mole of propane requires 5 moles of oxygen.

In science class, Blaine’s teacher puts one glow stick in a cup of hot water and another glow stick in a cup of cold water. She
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

The glow stick in hot water will be brighter

Explanation:

The glow stick in hot water will be brighter than the glow stick in cold water because the heat from the hot water will cause the molecules in the glow stick to move faster. The faster the molecules move in the glow stick, the sooner and brighter the reaction will be. The cold water will cause molecules to move slowly and it will take longer for the reaction to occur, which will also make it less bright.
