The general equation for radioactive decay is;
N = N₀e^(-λt)
x - decay constant (λ) - rate of decay 
t-  time 
N - amount remaining after t days , since we are calculating the half life, amount of time it takes for the substance to to be half its original value, its N₀/2
N₀ - amount initially present 
substituting the values 
N₀/2 = N₀e^(-0.081t)
0.5 = e^(-0.081t)
ln (0.5) = -0.081t
-0.693 = -0.081t
t = 0.693 / 0.081 
  = 8.55
half life of substance is 8.55 days

Hydrogen gas can be produced by reacting aluminum with sulfuric acid. How many moles of sulfuric acid are needed to completely r
Illusion [34]

Answer:

22.5

Explanation:

all you have to do is take the number of moles of al and multiply them by sulfuric acids mole ratio as given in the equation (3), then divide by aluminums mole ratio number (2). then you will have moles of sulfuric acid.

*note: this only works if you are going moles to moles, if you are converting to anything else, this will NOT work*

if you have any questions leave them in the comments and i will try to answer them, if this helped, pls give a brainly

Help please! <br><br> If the ph of vinegar is 2.9, what is the pOH and [H+1]?<br><br> Thank you!
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Explanation In order to calculate the pH, take the negative log of the hydronium ion concentration. To find the pOH, simply subtract the pH from 14. In order to calculate the pOH, take the negative log of the hydroxide ion concentration. To find the pH, simply subtract pOH from 14.

Answer:

The third one from the left–the graduated cylinder.

Explanation:

The laboratory apparatus that gives an <em>"accurate" </em>or <em>"precise" </em>measurement of a liquid's volume is the<em> graduated cylinder</em>. All you have to do is to pour the liquid into the cylinder and read its measurement using the calibrated scale.

The graduated cylinder comes in different sizes, which means the scale divisions will depend on its size. When reading the measurement, it is important to take note to read at the <u><em>bottom of the meniscus</em></u> because it gives the most accurate volume.
