What you need to do is find 1/8 of 50
you can just divide 50 by 8 to get 6.25
so now you have to find how many days it will take till there are 6.25 grams of iodine left
every 8.1 days its mass is split in half 
so start splitting it in half and every time you do, you add 8.1 days
50/2 =25                                               8.1
25/2 =12.5                                        +  8.1
12.5/2= 6.25                                      +8.1
now you have reached 1/8 of the original amount of Iodine-131
so to find how long it took just add 8.1+8.1+8.1
(this is the same as 8.1x3)
which equals 24.3
it will take 24.3 days for Iodine 131 to decay to 1/8  of its original mass.

(good luck on the regent if thats what your studying for :)

It doesn't matter what the original mass is. 1/8 is (1/2)-cubed, and 3 half-lives is 8.3 days.

When the pressure that a gas exerts
Savatey [412]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

When the pressure that a gas exerts  on a sealed container changes from

22.5 psi to 19.86 psi, the  temperature changes from 110°C to

65.9°C.

<h2>Why?</h2>

To calculate which is the last pressure, we need to use Gay-Lussac's law.

The Gay-Lussac's Law states that when the volume is kept constant, the temperature (absolute temperature) and the pressure are proportional.

The Gay-Lussac's equation states that:

\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

We are given the following information:

We need to remember that since the temperatures are given in Celsius degrees, we need to convert it to Kelvin (absolute temperature) before use the equation, so:

P_1=22.5Psi\\T_1=110\°C=110\°C+273.15=383.15K\\T_1=65.9\°C=65\°C+273.15=338.15K

Now, calculating we have:

\frac{P_1}{T_1}*(T_2)=P_2\\\\P_2=\frac{P_1}{T_1}*(T_2)=\frac{22.5Psi}{383.15}*338.15=19.86Psi

Hence, the final pressure is equal to 19.86 Psi.

Have a nice day!

An archeologist finds a 1.62 kg goblet that she believes to be made of pure gold. She determines that the volume of the goblet i
katovenus [111]
The  answer is

<span>The density (D) is quotient of mass (m) and volume (V):
</span>D= \frac{m}{V}
The unit is g/cm³

It is given:
m = 1.62 kg = 1620 g
V = 205 mL = 205 cm³
D = ?

Thus:
D= \frac{m}{V} = \frac{1620g}{205cm ^{3} } = 7.90 g/cm ^{3}

The density of the goblet is 7.90 g/cm³.

Identify the conjugate acid base pair <br> H3PO4(ag)+CO32=HCO3-(ag)+HPO42-(ag)
viktelen [127]

Answer:

H₃PO₄/H₂PO₄⁻ and HCO₃⁻/CO₃²⁻

Explanation:

An acid is a proton donor; a base is a proton acceptor.

Thus, H₃PO₄ is the acid, because it donates a proton to the carbonate ion.

CO₃²⁻ is the base, because it accepts a proton from the phosphoric acid.

The conjugate base is what's left after the acid has given up its proton.

The conjugate acid is what's formed when the base has accepted a proton.

H₃PO₄/H₂PO₄⁻ make one conjugate acid/base pair, and HCO₃⁻/CO₃²⁻ are the other conjugate acid/base pair.

H₃PO₄ + CO₃²⁻ ⇌ H₂PO₄⁻ + HCO₃⁻
