How would you classify the following events?
1 answer:
Answer: Event 1 is an example of a physical change and Event 2 is an example of a chemical change.
Explanation: Physical change is one in which there is no change in chemical composition of the substance. There is only a change in phase change.
Chemical change is a change in which there is a change in chemical composition and there might or might not be a phase change.
On Boiling, the water molecules remain bonded in the same form and only covert from liquid to gaseous form, thus is a physical change.
On Rusting of iron nail, the iron changes to iron oxide by combining with oxygen, there is a rearrangement of atoms and thus is a chemical change.

Hello!
The half-life is the time of half-disintegration, it is the time in which half of the atoms of an isotope disintegrate.
We have the following data:
mo (initial mass) = 53.3 mg
m (final mass after time T) = ? (in mg)
x (number of periods elapsed) = ?
P (Half-life) = 10.0 minutes
T (Elapsed time for sample reduction) = 25.9 minutes
Let's find the number of periods elapsed (x), let us see:
Now, let's find the final mass (m) of this isotope after the elapsed time, let's see:
I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR! =)
