kumpel [21]2 years ago
6 0

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

How many grams are in 5.2 moles of Li2SO4
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

572 g

Explanation:

Molar mass is the mass of 1 mol of an element or compound

molar mass of Li₂SO₄ is the sum of the products of the molar masses of the elements by the number of atoms in the compound

molar masses of each element making up lithium sulphate

Li - 7 g/mol

S - 32 g/mol

O - 16 g/mol

molar mass of Li₂SO₄ - (7 g/mol x 2) + ( 32 g/mol x 1) + ( 16 g/mol x 4 )

molar mass = 110 g/mol

mass of 1 mol of Li₂SO₄ is 110 g

therefore mass of 5.2 mol of Li₂SO₄ is - 110 g/mol x 5.2 mol = 572 g

mass is 572 g

If a body with a mass of 4 kg is moved by a force of 20 N, what’s is the rate of acceleration ?
kaheart [24]

Answer:

The rate of acceleration is 5.

Explanation:

In order to calculate acceleration we need to divide the force by the mass.

Acceleration = net force/mass

In this case, it would be 20/4. Simplify that and we get 5.

n a semiconductor, the bonding molecular orbitals that contain electrons are referred to as the ________, while the antibonding
Kruka [31]

Answer:

In a semiconductor, the bonding molecular orbitals that contain electrons are referred to as the valence band, while the antibonding orbitals that are completely empty are referred to as the conduction band.

The conduction band occupies a higher energy level than the valence band. The band gap is what separates the two orbitals.
