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.

After some wood has completely burned in a fire, some of the matter that made up the wood has been destroyed.
nekit [7.7K]
The correct answer is D - When burning a log, the wood combined its components with oxygen. if you could capture the products (CO2, H2O, C, CO, etc), you would have a greater mass than what you started with, burning the log combined the log's components with oxygen in order to burn it.

The standard enthalpy of formation (ΔHf°) of calcium carbonate is –1207 kJ/mol. Which ONE of the equations below has ΔH° = –1207
Art [367]

Answer:

A) Ca(s) + C(s) + 3/2 O₂(g) → CaCO₃(s)

Explanation:

Standard enthalpy of formation of a chemical is defined as the change in enthalpy durin the formation of 1 mole of the substance from its constituent elements in their standard states.

The consituent elements of calcium carbonate, CaCO₃, in their standard states (States you will find this pure elements in nature), are:

Ca(s), C(s) and O₂(g)

That means, the equation that represents standard enthalpy of CaCO₃ is:

<h3>A) Ca(s) + C(s) + 3/2 O₂(g) → CaCO₃(s)</h3><h3 />

<em>Is the equation that has ΔH° = -1207kJ/mol</em>

What characteristics of a metallic bond explains some of the properties of metals
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Metallic bonds involve attraction between electrons and positively charged metal ions. The metals are ionized and electrons form a sea of valence electrons. These loosely bound electrons surround the nuclei of the metals.

The presence of this sea of electrons explains the fact that metals conduct electricity and heat due to the free valence electrons.

Due to the nature of the bonding between metal atoms,metals are malleable and ductile.

Due to the strong electrostatic interaction between metal ions and electrons, the metallic bond is very strong and is very difficult to break thereby accounting for the greater strength of metals as the size of the metallic ion decreases.
