Answer:

36 years

Explanation:

2 =  16   *   (1/2)^n          where n is the number of half lives

2/16 = (1/2)^n

1/8 =  (1/2)^n

log (1/8)  = log (1/2^n)

log(1/8) =  n log (1/2)

log ( 1/8 ) / log(1/2) = n = 3  half lives

each half life is 12 years    so  3 * 12 = 36 years

I'd say that his comb has a static electricity charge. It can either be negative, or positive. Let's just say it's positive, and the water is negatively charged. This means that it will affect the water flow when the two charges meet. I hope this helps! ~Mia

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Describe what is happening within the system when it is at equilibrium in terms of concentrations, reactions that occur, and reaction rates.

Explanation:

The chemical equilibrium state is the state where the rate of forward reaction becomes equal to the rate of backward reaction.

At this stage the change in concentration of reactants becomes equal to the change in concentration of products.

The reaction will never cease.

That is the reason chemical equilibrium is called dynamic equilibrium.

So, forward and backward reactions will be taking place continuously at equal rates.
