Answer:<span>d. 145 minutes
</span>
Half-life is the time needed for a radioactive to decay half of its weight. The formula to find the half-life would be:

Nt= N0 (1/2)^ t/h

Nt= the final mass
N0= the initial mass
t= time passed
h= half-life

If 25.0% of the compound decomposes that means the final mass would be 75% of initial mass. Then the half-live for the compound would be:
Nt= N0 (1/2)^ t/h
75%= 100% * (1/2)^ (60min/h)
3/4= 1/2^(60min/h)
log2 3/4 = log2 1/2^(60min/h)
0.41503749928 = -60min/h
h= -60 min / 0.41503749928= 144.6min

Hi can someone help me quickly please its for chemistry
lara [203]

Answer:

Explanation:

The atom X has 1 1 protons (atomic number) and thus would have 11 electrons. This means the atom X would have 1 valence electron in it's outermost shell. While the atom Y has 17 protons (atomic number) and thus would have 17 electrons. This means the atom Y would have 7 electrons in it's outermost shell.

The type of bond this atoms (X and Y) would form is an Ionic (or electrovalent) bond. <u>This bond/combination involves the transfer of electron(s) and a molecule is not formed</u> as seen in the image below.

marissa [1.9K]

The process described at locations U and X are Water changes from gas to liquid.

Answer: Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Water cycle is a cyclical process when the water evaporates from the ground and then falls back on the ground in the form of rain or snow. The various stages of this process are water evaporating from lakes, ground, rivers and so on.

Then it goes up in the air, condenses. And from the condensation process, the clouds are formed. When they cool down up in the air, then the water falls back on the ground and precipitates from the cloud in the form of rain or in the form of snow.
