The amount of substance that is present after t years given that the half-life of the substance is h is calculated through the equation,

   A(t) = A(o)(0.5^t/h)

If after a year, the rate of decay is equal to 33.3% then,

   A(t)/A(o) = (1/3) = 0.5^(1/h)

The value of h from the equation is 0.63 years. 

Answer: 0.63 years

During seafloor spreading, what kind of new earth forms?​
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

This bubbled-up magma is cooled by frigid seawater to form igneous rock. This rock (basalt) becomes a new part of Earth's crust. Seafloor spreading occurs along mid-ocean ridges—large mountain ranges rising from the ocean floor.

The equilibrium constant for the reaction 2x(g)+y(g)=2z(g) is 2.25 . what would be the concentration of y at equilibrium with 2
Troyanec [42]

[\text{Y}] \approx0.337\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3} at equilibrium.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Concentration for each of the species:

  • [\text{X}] = \dfrac{n}{V} = 2\; \text{mol}\cdot \text{dm}^{-3};
  • [\text{Y}] = \dfrac{n}{V} = 0\; \text{mol}\cdot \text{dm}^{-3};
  • [\text{Z}] = \dfrac{n}{V} = 3\; \text{mol}\cdot \text{dm}^{-3}.

There was no Y to start with; its concentration could only have increased. Let the change in [\text{Y}] be +x \; \text{mol}\cdot \text{dm}^{-3}.

Make a \textbf{RICE} table.

Two moles of X will be produced and two moles of Z consumed for every one mole of Y produced. As a result, the <em>change</em> in [\text{X}] will be +2\;x \; \text{mol}\cdot \text{dm}^{-3} and the <em>change</em> in [\text{Z}] will be -2\;x \; \text{mol}\cdot \text{dm}^{-3}.

\begin{array}{l|ccccc}\textbf{R}\text{eaction}&2\; \text{X}\; (g) & + &\text{Y}\; (g) & \rightleftharpoons &2 \; \text{Z}\; (g)\\\textbf{I}\text{nitial Condition}\; (\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3})& 2 & &0 & & 3 \\\textbf{C}\text{hange in Concentration}\; (\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3})\;& +2\;x & &+x &&-2\;x\\\textbf{E}\text{quilibrium Condition}\; (\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3})& & &&&\end{array}.

Add the value in the C row to the I row:

\begin{array}{l|ccccc}\textbf{R}\text{eaction}&2\; \text{X}\; (g) & + &\text{Y}\; (g) & \rightleftharpoons &2 \; \text{Z}\; (g)\\\textbf{I}\text{nitial Condition}\; (\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3})& 2 & &0 & & 3 \\\textbf{C}\text{hange in Concentration}\; (\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3})\;& +2\;x & &+x &&-2\;x\\\textbf{E}\text{quilibrium Condition}\; (\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3})& 2 + 2\;x & &x&&3-2\;x\end{array}.

What's the equation of K_c for this reaction? Raise the concentration of each species to its coefficient. Products go to the numerator and reactants are on the denominator.

K_c = \dfrac{[\text{Z}]^{2}}{[\text{X}]^{2} \cdot[\text{Y}]}.

K_c = 2.25. As a result,

\dfrac{[\text{Z}]^{2}}{[\text{X}]^{2} \cdot[\text{Y}]} = \dfrac{(3-2x)^{2}}{(2+2x)^{2} \cdot x} = K_c = 2.25.

(3-2\;x)^{2}= 2.25 \cdot(2+2\;x)^{2} \cdot x\\4\;x^{2} - 12 \;x + 9 = 2.25 \;(4\;x^{3} + 8 \;x^{2} + 4 \;x)\\4\;x^{2} - 12\;x + 9 = 9 \;x^{3} + 18\;x^{2} + 9\;x\\9\;x^{3} + 14\;x^{2} + 21\;x - 9 = 0.

The degree of this polynomial is three. Plot the equation y = 9\;x^{3} + 14\;x^{2} + 21\;x - 9 on a graph and look for any zeros. There's only one zero at x \approx 0.337. All three concentrations end up greater than zero.

Hence the equilibrium concentration of Y: 0.337\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}.

 Water can dissolve other substances. Which factor best contributes to this property of water?
Sav [38]
<span>Water is known to be the universal solvent because it can mostly dissolve most of the substances. The reason behind its solvability is the bonding of intermolecular forces of attraction. The answer is letter B. Out of the many bondings between molecules, the bond that governs water is H bonding or hydrogen bonding. Water is composed mostly of two atoms of hydrogen one atom of oxygen. Both the hydrogen and oxygen are polar elements and hydrogen is bounded with a high electronegativity oxygen atom.</span>
