Answer:

c. Efflorescent

Explanation:

Some hydrated salts, when exposed to the atmosphere, give off part of all of their water of crystallization spontaneously to form a lower dehydrated or anhydrous salt. Such salts are known as efflorescent and the phenomenon is called Efflorescence.

Efflorescence occurs when the hydrate's aqueous vapor pressure is greater than the water vapor's partial pressure in the air. For example, because the vapor pressures of washing soda (Na2CO3·10H2O) and Glauber's salt (Na2SO4·10H2O) normally exceed that of the water vapor in the atmosphere, these salts effloresce (i.e., lose all or part of their water of hydration), and their surfaces assume a powdery appearance.

Why do non-metals bond with each other to form covalent compound?
larisa [96]

Answer:

Explanation:

Because unlike ionic bonds (metal and a non-metal) where electrons are "stolen", covalent bonds are defined by the sharing of electrons between non-metals.

What is atomic mass, atomic number, isotopes and how are all these terms related to each other?
Airida [17]
Atomic mass deals with the number of protons and neutrons added together, atomic number deals with protons only, though isotopes can be explained like this, say you had a hydrogen atom it's one proton and one electron if you add a neutron to it, the hydrogen becomes Deuterium which is a isotope of hydrogen it's the same atom just a neutron added to it for a different atomic mass if only slightly changed

How long will it take for a 750 mg sample of radium with a half life of 15 days to decay to exactly 68mg?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

52 da  

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever a question asks you, "How long to reach a certain concentration?" or something similar, you must use the appropriate integrated rate law expression.

The i<em>ntegrated rate law for a first-order reaction </em>is  

ln([A₀]/[A] ) = kt

Data:

[A]₀ = 750 mg

 [A] =    68 mg

t_ ½ =   15 da

Step 1. Calculate the value of the rate constant.

 t_½ = ln2/k     Multiply each side by k

kt_½ = ln2         Divide each side by t_½

      k = ln2/t_½

         = ln2/15

         = 0.0462 da⁻¹

Step 2. Calculate the time

ln(750/68) = 0.0462t

         ln11.0 = 0.0462t

            2.40 = 0.0462t     Divide each side by 0.0462

                   t = 52 da
