Answer:

175,000

Explanation:

700,000/4=175,000

2 half-lives = approx 175,000

The number of atoms that remains after 2 half-lives given that it was originally 700,000 atoms is 175000 atoms.

<h3>What is a radioactive substance?</h3>

Radiation in the form of radiant particles or rays, is the result of a nuclear disintegration. Radioactive materials are atoms that have stored energy and may disintegrate in the future, releasing radiation.

Data obtained from the question

Original amount (N₀) = 700,000 atoms

Number of half-lives (n) = 2

Amount remaining (N) =?

How to determine the amount remaining

The amount remaining after 2 half-lives can be obtained as illustrated below:

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

N = 700,000 / 4

N = 175000 atoms

Hence, 175000 atoms remain.

34kurt

Answer is: B because it has a lower activation energy.

For all chemical reaction some energy is required and that energy is called activation energy (energy that needs to be absorbed for a chemical reaction to start), activation energy for reaction B is lower that for reaction A.

Catalysis is the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction due to the participation of an additional substance called a catalyst.

Chemical reactions occur faster with a catalyst because they require less activation energy.

The percent by mass of copper in CuBr2 is Use mc004-1.jpg. 28.45%. 44.30%. 63.55%. 71.55%.
Greeley [361]
First, we must find the total mass of CuBr₂:
Mass = 64 + 2 x 80
Mass = 224

Percentage mass of copper = mass of copper x 100 / total mass
Percentage mass of copper = (64 / 224) x 100
Percentage mass of copper = 28.45%

A student performs an experiment similar to what you will be doing in lab, except using titanium metal instead of magnesium meta
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

n = 0.0022 mol

Explanation:

Moles is denoted by given mass divided by the molar mass ,  

Hence ,  

n = w / m  

n = moles ,  

w = given mass ,  

m = molar mass .  

From the information of the question ,

w = 0.108 g

As we known ,

The molar mass of titanium = 47.867 g / mol

The mole of titanium can be caused by using the above relation , i.e. ,

n = w / m  

n = 0.108 g / 47.867 g / mol

n = 0.0022 mol

What is penetration? How is it related to shielding? Use the penetration effect to explain the difference in relative orbital en
Whitepunk [10]

Answer: penetration is the ability of an electron in a given orbital to approach the nucleus closely. Shielding refers to the fact that core electrons reduce the degree of nuclear attraction felt by the orbital electrons. Shielding is the opposite of penetration. The most penetrating orbital is the least screening orbital. The order of increasing shielding effect/decreasing penetration is s<p<d<f.

Explanation:

The order of penetrating power is 1s>2s>2p>3s>3p>4s>3d>4p>5s>4d>5p>6s>4f....

Since the 3p orbital is more penetrating than the 3d orbital, it will lie nearer to the nucleus and thus possess lower energy.
