4. Imagine you have a radioactive sample containing both Virtualium and decayed atoms of Virtualium. After analysis, you find it

contains 10 atoms of Virtualium and 40 decayed atoms. How old is your sample?

My sample would be 4000 years old because on my graph, I had about 9 Virtualium left at trial 4 so I am guessing that it would be 4000 years old.

SashulF [63]

Balanced chemical reaction: 2CH₄(g) ⇄ C₂H₂(g) + 3H₂(g).

1) In a chemical reaction, chemical equilibrium is the state in which both reactants (methane CH₄) and products (ethyne C₂H₂ and hydrogen H₂) are present in concentrations which have no further tendency to change with time.  

2) At equilibrium, both the forward and reverse reactions are still occurring.

3) Reaction rates of the forward and backward reactions are equal and  there are no changes in the concentrations of the reactants and products.

Answer:

Explanation:

All three lighter boron trihalides, BX3 (X = F, Cl, Br), form stable adducts with common Lewis bases. Their relative Lewis acidities can be evaluated in terms of the relative exothermicities of the adduct-forming reaction. Such measurements have revealed the following sequence for the Lewis acidity: BF3 < BCl3 < BBr3 (in other words, BBr3 is the strongest Lewis acid).

This trend is commonly attributed to the degree of π-bonding in the planar boron trihalide that would be lost upon pyramidalization (the conversion of the trigonal planar geometry to a tetrahedral one) of the BX3 molecule, which follows this trend: BF3 > BCl3 > BBr3 (that is, BBr3 is the most easily pyramidalized). The criteria for evaluating the relative strength of π-bonding are not clear, however. One suggestion is that the F atom is small compared to the larger Cl and Br atoms, and the lone pair electron in the 2pzorbital of F is readily and easily donated, and overlaps with the empty 2pz orbital of boron. As a result, the [latex]\pi[/latex] donation of F is greater than that of Cl or Br. In an alternative explanation, the low Lewis acidity for BF3 is attributed to the relative weakness of the bond in the adducts F3B-L.

Which of the following halogens has the weakest attraction for electrons?
Leokris [45]

Answer:

I

Explanation:

Among the halogens given in this problem, iodine has the lowest attraction for electrons.

This property is known as electronegativity.

Electronegativity is expressed as the relative tendency with which the atoms of the element attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond.

  • As you go down the periodic group the electronegativity decreases.
  • The most electronegative element on the periodic table is fluorine.
  • Down the group, iodine is the least electronegative
  • This is due to the large size of its atom.

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

five half lives

Explanation:

Half-life is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value.

How many half lives it would take to reach 3.13% form 100% of it's initial concentration:

100% - 50% : First Half life

50% - 25%: Second Half life

25% - 12.5%: Third Half life

12.5% - 6.25%: Fourth Half life

6.25% - 3.125%: Fifth Half life

This means it would take five half lives to get to 3.125% (≈ 3.13%) of it's original concentration.
