An isotope of Cesium -137 has a half-life of 30 years. If 1.0 g of Cesium – 137 disintegrates over a period of 60 years, how many grams of Cesium- 137 would remain?

The image shows a process that releases nuclear energy which statement best identifies the process shown the process must be fusion because energy is released the process must be fusion because of have your nucleus formed a smaller nuclei the process must be fission because a large nucleus breaks into smaller nuclei the process must be fission because neutrons are formed

Straightforward questions answered in the powerpoint slidesreaction: heating the starting materials under refluxwhat does it mean to heat under reflux? why do we choose water as the reflux solvent? what are boiling chips used for? why do we put a condenser on top of the reaction? why do we add heat and let the reaction stir for 30 minutes? why do we add sulfuric acid to the reaction after it cools as opposed to when it’s still hot? separation: filtration of precipitatewhy don’t we do an aqueous and organic extraction in the separatory funnel? why do you rinse the salicylic acid on the filter with ice cold water? purification: recrystallization of salicylic acid (no hot filtration needed)what is the difference in the amount of room temperature water vs. boiling water needed to dissolve the salicylic acid (assume a 1.2 gram yield of salicylic acid)? remember, in the lab if you need x ml of boiling water to dissolve a solid, then you should add a little more (definitely no more than 1.5 times the theoretical amount) to ensure it doesn’t recrystallize prematurely.analysis: melting point of salicylic acidwhat can you conclude if the melting point of the salicylic acid you just synthesized is 152-155oc and the 1: 1 mix of your product and “synthetic” salicylic acid is 151-154oc?

To find the enthalpy of a reaction in the lab, you measured the of the reactants and the change during the reaction.
