If 57 mg of radium 221 has a half life of 30 seconds. How long will it take for 95 percent of the sample to decompose?
JulieVu
try using my formula....
ar=a(1/2)^2t
therefore, 57(.05) = 57(1/2)^2t
and 57s cancels out, .05 = 1/2^2t
log .05 = log .5^2t
divide log .5 from both sides,
4.32 = 2t
t = 2.16, therefore 126 seconds or 2 minutes and 6 seconds

What is the percent of oxygen by mass in a pure sample of FeCr2O4?
To determine the percentage of oxygen in FeCr2O4, you would first calculate the molar mass of the compound (iron(II) chromite) using the atomic masses of each element (Fe = 55.85 g/mol, Cr = 51.996 g/mol, O = 16 g/mol). Then, calculate the molar mass percentages of each element within the compound, and finally, determine the percentage of oxygen by mass in the compound.
