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.

If 36.0 g of NaOH (MM = 40.00 g/mol) are added to a 500.0 mL volumetric flask, and water is added to fill the flask, what is the
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Molarity of NaOH = 1.8 M.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of NaOH = 36 g

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Volume = 500 mL

Molarity of NaOH =?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole in 36 g of NaOH. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of NaOH = 36 g

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Mole of NaOH =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of NaOH = 36 / 40

Mole of NaOH = 0.9 mole

Next, we shall convert 500 mL to L. This can be obtained as follow:

1000 mL = 1 L

Therefore,

500 mL = 500 mL × 1 L / 1000 mL

500 mL = 0.5 L

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of NaOH. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of NaOH = 0.9 mole

Volume = 0.5 L

Molarity of NaOH =?

Molarity = mole / Volume

Molarity of NaOH = 0.9 / 0.5

Molarity of NaOH = 1.8 M

evablogger [386]

Answer:

sublime, melt, condense, deposit

Explanation:

1. When ice is warmed at a steady pressure 0.00512 atm, it will be sublime.  

2. It will be melt when ice is warmed at a consistent pressure of 1 atm.

3. If water vapour pressure is continued to increase at a temperature of 100  C, it will be condense.  

4. If water vapour pressure is continued to increase at a temperature of -50 C, it will be deposited.

The ksp of agcl is 1.6 x 10-10. what is the solubility of agcl in 0.010 m fecl3? give your answer using scientific notation (1.2
bija089 [108]

Ksp of AgCl= 1.6×10⁻¹⁰

AgCl=Ag⁺ +Cl⁻

Ksp=[Ag⁺][Cl⁻]

Assume [Ag⁺]=[Cl⁻]=x

Ksp=x²

1.6×10⁻¹⁰=x²

x=0.000012

In FeCl₃:

FeCl₃------>Fe⁺³+ 3Cl⁻

as there is 0.010 M FeCl₃

So there will be ,

[Cl⁻]= 0.030

So

[Ag⁺]=Ksp/[Cl⁻]

=1.6×10⁻¹⁰/0.030

=5.3×10⁻⁹

so solubility of AgCl in FeCl₃ will be 5.3×10⁻⁹.
