T is amount after time t 
<span>Ao is initial amount </span>
<span>t is time </span>
<span>HL is half life </span>

<span>log (At) = log [ Ao x (1/2)^(t/HL) ] </span>
<span>log (At) = log Ao + log (1/2)^(t/HL) </span>
<span>log (At) = log Ao + (t/HL) x log (1/2) </span>

<span>( log At - log Ao) / log (1/2) = t / HL </span>
<span>log (At/Ao) / log (1/2) = t / HL </span>

<span>HL = t / [( log (At / Ao)) / log (1/2) ] </span>

<span>HL = 14.4 s / [ ( log (12.5 / 50) / log (1/2) ] </span>

<span>HL = 14.4 s / 2 = 7.2 seconds </span>

List the metals that form only one type of ion (that is, metals whose charge is invariant from one compound to another). What ar
NeTakaya

this question is in reference to the formation and naming of ionic compounds. Specifically, they want you to give examples of three ionic compounds with a metal to nonmetal ratio of 2 to 1. That means we need to have two metal atoms to metal ions, which are typically cat ions for every one non metal atom or an ion. In order for this to occur, we need to have the metal with half the charge of the nonmetal or the non metal with double the charge of the metal. So an example might be something like sodium sulfide. Sodium has one valence electron. It can give up sulfur needs to valence electrons in order to achieve an octet. So we need to. Sodium seems to give up one electron each to total so that sulfide can achieve an octet. Another one might be potassium oxide. Similar scenario. We've got potassium giving up one valence electron oxygen requiring too. So we need to potassium to supply the to valence electrons that oxygen needs to achieve an octet and lithium. Also in Group one A and alkali metal wants to give up just one valence electron to achieve an octet well to achieve, I guess a duet to be more like helium, and so it gives up one. If we have two of them, then we can provide the to valence electrons that sulfur needs. So this is sodium sulfide, potassium oxide and lithium sulfide. Remember when we name Ionic compounds? We named the Cat Ion with the name of the element and the anti on with the name of the Element, but with the ending oven of ID, a suffix of ID because each one of the cat ions donated their valence electrons to the anti on so the an ion could achieve an octet. Then all of the's will have an octet of valence electrons. Sulfur had six sodium had one. There were two of them, so we have a total of eight.

Explain what happens to the light ray when it travels through air and then into water
NemiM [27]

A Change of Course. Light travels faster through air than it does through a denser substance, such as water or glass.

So, when light rays travel through air and meet the surface of the denser substance, they are suddenly slowed down.

When this happens, the light rays bend.

If an atom of the following element had a neutral charge, how many electrons would it have?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

31

Explanation:

In order for an atom to have a neutral charge, it needs to have the same number of protons and electrons. You can see by the illustration that the atomic number is 31, so this element has 31 protons. Knowing that, we also know that it must have 31 electrons to be neutral.

maxonik [38]
I can't answer this question without knowing what the specific heat capacity of the calorimeter is. Luckily, I found a similar problem from another website which is shown in the attached picture. 

Q = nCpΔT
Q = (1.14 g)(1 mol/114 g)(6.97 kJ/kmol·°C)(10°C)(1000 mol/1 kmol)
<em>Q = +6970 kJ</em>
