The chemical formula CH2O can be classified as Empirical formula and possibly a molecular formula. The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest formula that indicates the simplest ratio of atoms in the compound, while the molecular formula is the representation of the actual whole number ratio between the elements of the compound.
Answer:
54 days
Explanation:
We have to use the formula;
0.693/t1/2 =2.303/t log Ao/A
Where;
t1/2= half-life of phosphorus-32= 14.3 days
t= time taken for the activity to fall to 7.34% of its original value
Ao=initial activity of phosphorus-32
A= activity of phosphorus-32 after a time t
Note that;
A=0.0734Ao (the activity of the sample decreased to 7.34% of the activity of the original sample)
Substituting values;
0.693/14.3 = 2.303/t log Ao/0.0734Ao
0.693/14.3 = 2.303/t log 1/0.0734
0.693/14.3 = 2.6/t
0.048=2.6/t
t= 2.6/0.048
t= 54 days
Answer: It is important to wet the filter paper in the Buchner funnel first with cold re crystallization solvent before the re crystallization mixture being filtered to minimize gaps around the edges of the filter paper which can prevent mechanical impurities from passing through. This gives better filtration where most impurities can be filtered. Furthermore, it provides good vacuum.
As we move down the group, the metallic bond becomes more stable and the formation of forming covalent bond decreases down the group due to the large size of elements.
Covalent and metallic bonding leads to higher melting points. Due to a decrease in attractive forces from carbon to lead there is a drop in melting point.
Carbon forms large covalent molecules than silicon and hence has a higher melting point than silicon.
Similarly, Ge also forms a large number of covalent bonds and has a smaller size as compared to that of Sn. Hence melting point decreases from Ge to Sn.
The order will be C>Si>Ge>Pb>Sn.
