Define the "half-life" of a radioisotope

Chemistry
1 answer:
elena55 [62]3 years ago
8 0
The amount of time it takes for 1/2 of it to decay or dissapear

this is liike compound interest because it takes the same amount of time to decay 1/2 of it, regardless of the amount

example

lets say half life of element x is 1 year
if yo has 32 grams, after  1 year, it decays to 16g
2 years decays to 8
3 years decays to 4
4 years decays to 2
5 years decays to 1
etc

hope this helps (I'm not the best at chem)

As the tempreture of a liquid increases the solubility of a liquid of that liquid
anzhelika [568]
As the temperature increases, the solubility of the solute in the liquid also increases.  This is due to the fact that the increase in energy allows the liquid to more effectively break up the solute.  The additoin of energy also shifts the equilibrium of the reation to the right since it takes energy to dissolve most things and you are adding more of it (this is explained with Le Chatlier principles).

I hope this helps and also I assumed that your question involved the solubility of an ionic substance in a solvent like water.  If that was not your question feel free to say so in the comments so that I can answer your actually question.

A) Briefly discuss hydrolysis of sicl4​
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Types of Hydrolysis

There are several types of hydrolysis, and we will look at them in brief below.

Salts: This is the most common type of hydrolysis. Hydrolysis of salts generally refers to the reaction of salt with water where it involves the interaction between cations or anions of salts and water. During hydrolysis, a salt breaks down to form ions, completely or partially depending upon the solubility factor.

Acid and Base: Acid–base-catalysed hydrolysis can be found during the hydrolysis of esters or amides. Here, the process of hydrolysis occurs when water or hydroxyl ion reacts with the carbon of the carbonyl group of the ester or amide where new compounds are formed. The products of both hydrolysis are compounds with carboxylic acid groups.

ATP: Most biochemical reactions that occur in living organisms are in the form of ATP hydrolysis which takes place with the help of enzymes acting as catalysts. The catalytic action of enzymes allows the hydrolysis or breaking down of proteins, lipids, oils, fats and carbohydrates.
