Answer:

<u>2 years</u> to decay to a mass of 50g.

Explanation:

given:

100g of substance with a half life of 2 years

to a mass of 50g

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

                          ln 2             0.693

Half life T1/2 = ----------  =  -----------

                              λ                  λ

where  λ = rate constant

The initial amount of 100 grams is decaying to a mass of 50 grams is half of its initial value.

Therefore, it will take 2 years for the decay.

When I googled how to balance this chemical equation K2CrO4+NaHSO3+H2O=NaHSO4+KOH+Cr(OH)3 they gave me the balanced form of 2K2C
galina1969 [7]
Whatever is on one side of the equation needs to be the same as the other. So K2CrO4+NaHSO3+H2O=NaHSO4+KOH+Cr(OH)3 you need to balance the equation between the = to make a balanced equation.

If 1.20 moles of an ideal gas occupy a volume of 18.2 l at a pressure of 1.80 atm, what is the temperature of the gas, in degree
scoundrel [369]

We can calculate for temperature by assuming the equation for ideal gas law:

P V = n R T

Where,

P = pressure = 1.80 atm

V = volume = 18.2 L

n = number of moles = 1.20 moles

R = gas constant = 0.08205746 L atm / mol K

Substituting to the given equation:

T = P V / n R

T = (1.8 atm * 18.2 L) / (1.2 moles * 0.08205746 L atm / mol K)

T = 332.70 K

We can convert K unit to ˚C unit by subtracting 273.15 to Kelvin, therefore

T = 59.55 ˚<span>C</span>

Clo3− draw the molecule by placing atoms on the grid and connecting them with bonds. Include all lone pairs of electrons. Show t
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

The formal charges of all nonhydrogen atoms are -1.

Solution:-

<u>O 7-4 = 3 O Double bond on one H 5-4 = 1</u>

O-Cl-O 6-7 = -1x4 = -4 N 5-4=1 H-N-H 1-1=0

O 3-4= -1 O O 6-7 = -1(2)=-2 H 1-0=+1

<u>6-6 = 0 1-2 = -1</u>

It will percentage its last valence electron thru a single bond to the terminal oxygen atom. This is in agreement with carbon and hydrogen atoms that each need to form 4 and 1 covalent bonds respectively. because the terminal oxygen atom best has a single covalent bond, it'll have a proper rate of -1.

According to the lewis structure of SO2, The critical atom is sulfur and it is bonded with 2 oxygen atoms thru a double bond. each oxygen atom acquires 2 lone pairs of electrons and the primary sulfur atom has 1 lone pair of electrons.

A gas has a volume of 5.0 L at a pressure of 50 KPa. What happens to the volume when the pressure is increased to 125?
Alexeev081 [22]
The volume becomes two. You have to use the equation P1 x V1 = P2 x V2 
P is pressure and V is volume.
P1 = 50     P2 = 125
V1 = 5       V2 = v (we don't know what it is)
Then set up the equation:
50 times 5 = 125 times v
250 = 125v
the divide both sides by 125 and isolate v
2 = v
Therefore the volume is decreased to 2.
Also, Boyle's Law explains this too: Volume and pressure are inversely related, This means that when one goes up the other goes down (ie when pressure increases volume decreases and vice versa). Becuase the pressure went up from 50 KPa tp 125 KPa the volume had to decrease.
