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

What is the pH of 0.0001 M NaOH
kow [346]
Well. NaOH is a base. That's the first thing you need to watch for.
So to find the pOH, you take -log(.0001)
that would be 4. So now you have the pOH and <u>you still need to find the pH
</u>To find pH from pOH, you take 14(the maximum pH,sorta)-pOH(in this case 4)
14-4=10 The pH of NaOH is 10

Plz i wanna those answers click on the photo to see all the question they are 2 queastions part A and B
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

a.

Turn paper Blue - these are alkaline/ base substances.

  • Toothpaste
  • Soap
  • Bleach

Turn paper Red - these substances are acidic in nature.

  • Lemon Juice
  • Vinegar
  • Cola drink

b. i. A wasp sting - Lemon juice

ii. A bee sting - Toothpaste

iii. A wasp sting is alkaline which means that running an acidic substance like lemon or lemon juice on it should neutralize it.

A bee sting is acidic so an alkaline substance such as toothpaste should neutralize it as well.

Heat and pressure deep in the earth change shale to slate. Why does this happen?
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Because of the ground above and the molten iron core.

Explanation:

As you go deeper into the earth you have more and more of the earth above you that applies pressure on you. The heat near the very top of the plate is relatively low and it decreases by a little as you go down. But once you start to go down into the earth by hundreds of meters then the temperature starts to rise and it rises pretty quickly due to the heat being transferred from the molten iron outer core of the earth.

How do models help scientists predict the polarity of molecules?
yuradex [85]

Answer:There are three main properties of chemical bonds that must be considered—namely, their strength, length, and polarity. The polarity of a bond is the distribution of electrical charge over the atoms joined by the bond. Specifically, it is found that, while bonds between identical atoms (as in H2) are electrically uniform in the sense that both hydrogen atoms are electrically neutral, bonds between atoms of different elements are electrically inequivalent. In hydrogen chloride, for example, the hydrogen atom is slightly positively charged whereas the chlorine atom is slightly negatively charged. The slight electrical charges on dissimilar atoms are called partial charges, and the presence of partial charges signifies the occurrence of a polar bond.
