The half life equation is -->P(t) = Pi (0.5) ^ (t/c)
c is equal to the element to reach its half-life (5 seconds)t is equal to the duration of time the element is expose to (20 seconds)Pi is the initial amount (340)0.5 is the base of this exponential function to represent half-life.P(t) is the expression for the function of time

P(20) = 340 (0.5)^20/5P(20) = 340 (0.5) ^4P(20)= 21.25 grams
Fraction = P(t)/Pi              = P(20)/Pi              =21.25/340              =1/16
Therefore, when given 20 seconds, 340 grams of Fluorine-21 will degrade to 21.25 grams OR 1/16 of its original mass.
Hope this method helps! (This is my answer btw, I think you may have accidentally posted twice?)

Decreasing order of C-C bond length is 1) ethene 2)ethyne 3) benzene 4) ethane
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

4>3>1>2.

That is, the C-C bond length in ethane > benzene > ethene > ethyne.

Explanation:

The C-C bond in ethane is single, the C-C bond in ethene is double and the C-C bond in ethyne is triple. As the number of bonds between a C-C increases, the length of the bond decreases with an increase in strength. This explains why the C-C bond length in ethane > ethene > ethyne. For benzene, all the C-C bonds in the aromatic compound has been found to have an identical length of 1.40 Å, compared to ethane (1.54Å), ethene (1.34Å) and ethyne (1.20Å). Hence the trend in bond lengths: ethane > benzene > ethene > ethyne.

Which of the following is the test for oxygen has?
dem82 [27]
A or B depends on what you mean by lit or glowing but when you place a wooden split in the sample the gas must reignite but there can be some confusion between hydrogen and oxygen mainly because a splint can cause a slight popping sound while it reignites but hydrogen pops are more violent and can most time extinguish the splint.

What would happen to the results if the plastic wrap was dirty in a water filtration experiment?​
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The plastic wrap of the covered cup acts like the atmosphere, and traps the water vapor. In a real cloud, the water vapor cools back into liquid water. In the covered cup, the air can only hold so much vapor, and the vapor condenses back to liquid water forming a “rain cloud” on the plastic wrap.
