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)

If 3.6 g of aluminum completely reacts, how much Al2O3 (in grams) can be produced
marissa [1.9K]

The amount in grams of  Al₂O₃ produced is approximately 6.80 g.

Aluminium reacts completely with oxygen(air) to produce Al₂O₃. The reaction can be represented with a chemical equation as follows:

AL + O₂ → Al₂O₃

Let's balance it

4AL + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃

4 moles of Aluminium reacts with 3 moles of Oxygen molecules to produce 2 moles of Aluminium oxide. Therefore,

Since, aluminium reacts completely, it is the limiting reagent in the reaction. Therefore,

Atomic mass of AL = 27 g

Molar mass of  Al₂O₃ = 101.96 g/mol

4(27 g) of AL gives 2(101.96 g) of  Al₂O₃

3.6 g of AL will give ?

cross multiply

mass of  Al₂O₃ produced = 3.6 × 203.92 / 108   = 734.112 / 108 = 6.797

mass of  Al₂O₃ produced = 6.80 g.

Determine the molecular geometry for ClF3ClF3.
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

The correct option is b

Explanation:

Firstly, the compound is ClF₃ and not ClF₃ClF₃. The name of the compound ClF₃ is chlorine trifluoride. It's electron geometry is trigonal bipyramidal (with the chlorine at the center and the atoms of the fluorine forming a triangular bipyramid around it) with a bond angle of 175° with an hybridization of sp³d.

Matter and energy are
Wewaii [24]
When energy transforms into mass, the amount of energy does not remain the same. When mass transforms into energy, the amount of energy also does not remain the same. However, the amount of matter and energy remains the same. ... You would weigh much less on the Moon because it is only about one-sixth the mass of Earth. So the answer is D
