Answer:
True
Explanation:
It's true because the pH is a measure of how basic or acid a solution is. In an acidic medium, the pH scales goes from 0 to 7. While in a basic medium goes from 7 to 14. The lower the pH value of the most acid the solution is.
1. The expression pH = -log(molar concentration of hydronium) allow to calculate the pH of a solution.
2. On the other hand, the expression pOH = -log(molar concentration of hydroxide) allow to determine the pOH of a solution.
The values of pH and pOH always obey the following expression:
pH + pOH = 14
Thus if for instance the pH becomes smaller the pOH must become bigger in order to fulfill the equation. Which means that the concentration of hydronium ions is greater than the hydroxide concentration.
For example, in an acidic medium:
if pH= 3, pOH= 11
In this case the molar concentration of hydronium is 0,001M. And the molar concentration of hydroxide ions is just 0,00000000001M.
464 g radioisotope was present when the sample was put in storage
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Sample waste of Co-60 = 14.5 g
26.5 years in storage
Required
Initial sample
Solution
General formulas used in decay:
t = duration of decay
t 1/2 = half-life
N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms
Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time
Half-life of Co-60 = 5.3 years
Input the value :
Answer:
Decomposition
Explanation:
A decomposition reaction is a type of reaction in which a compound is broken down into its constituent elements sometimes under the influence of heat.
When iron (III) hydroxide is heated,new products are formed according to the equation; 2Fe(OH)3 -----------> Fe2O3 + 3H2O.
This is a thermal decomposition reaction.
Answer:
OCO
Another way of writing CO₂
Explanation:
A reaction equation has <u>reactants on the left</u> and <u>products on the right</u>.
The reactants are carbon and oxygen. The product is carbon dioxide.
C + O₂ → CO₂
You might see the equation both ways.
C + O₂ → OCO
C + O₂ in the products would mean no reaction has occurred. The problem can <u>solid carbon can burn in oxygen</u>, so a reaction will occur. For no reaction, you would put "NR" in the products.
<u>OCO is the structural way of writing CO₂.</u> Both have one carbon atom (C) and two oxygen atoms (O).
C + 2O is not possible. Oxygen, if alone, has to be at least O₂ because it's a <u>diatomic molecule</u>.
Silicon must have 4 single covalent bond, every single bond has 2 electrons (one pair), so 4·2=8 electrons (octet).
