Answer;

2 half lives

Explanation;

-Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay to half of the original amount.

-For example; if the original mass is 100% the time it takes to decay to 50% is the half life.

-Therefore, in our case; for the element to decay from 1 whole to a half of the element, is one half life, then decaying from a half to one-fourth of the element will be another half life, which means there are two half lives for an element to decay to one-fourth of the element.

Hydrocarbons do not dissolve in concentrated sulfuric acid, but methyl benzoate does. Explain this difference and write an equat
finlep [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

For a substance to dissolve in another, there must be some sort of interaction between the substances.

Recall that like dissolves like. That is, polar substances dissolve polar substances and non polar substances dissolve nonpolar substances.

Hydrocarbons are nonpolar hence they do not dissolve in polar sulphuric acid. Methyl benzoate is polar hence it dissolve in polar sulphuric acid.

The equation showing the ions is depicted in the image attached to this answer.

Why aren't descriptive investigations repeatable?
Bad White [126]
In descriptive investigations, we still haven't formed any hypothesis yet so we seek information by asking question.

It's not repeatable because repeating the questions over and over again without any clue about what we want to seek is completely waste of time.

Hope this helps xox :)
