If you have 10 grams of a substance that decays with a half-life of 14 days, then how much will you have after 70 days?

Answer:

a. 0.31 g

Explanation:

  • It is known that the decay of a radioactive isotope isotope obeys first order kinetics.
  • Also, it is clear that in first order decay the half-life time is independent of the initial concentration.
  • Half-life time is the time needed for the reactants to be in its half concentration.
  • If reactant has initial concentration [A₀], after half-life time its concentration will be ([A₀]/2).
  • The half-life time of the substance = 14 days.

<em>So, 70 days represent (70 days/ 14 days = 5.0 half-lives).</em>

<em />

  • So, the substance will decay:

10 g → (first half-life = 14 days) 5 g → (second half-life = 28 days) 1.5 g → (third half-life = 42 days) 1.25 g → (fourth half-life = 56 days) 0.625 g → (fifth half-life = 70 days) 0.3125 g.

<em>So, the right choice is: a. 0.31 g.</em>

  • The difference between single displacement reaction and double displacement reaction are:

Explanation:

in the chemical reaction an atom in a molecule is replaced by another atom forming the end product .this type of chemical reaction involved only two reactants for example zinc + copper sulphate give us copper sulphate + copper.double displacement reaction is the reaction in which two compounds react together to form two other compounds by mutual exchange of other ions is called double displacement reaction.this type of reaction is involved two or more than two reactants.for example AG and O3 + NaCl give us agcl + nano3

4. A
because PbCl2 is an ionic compound and it's solid, so it's a substance.
It cannot be mixture, because it's a pure molecule.
5. D
despite that both substances are gases, colorless they are different molecules, so they should have different either chemical and physical properties
6. C
this substance made from W atoms and others are made from molecules

Why are the molecules of hydrocarbons nonpolar?
laiz [17]
<span>This is not the case in the hydrocarbon tail. The electronegativity of hydrogen and carbon are very similar, so the electron cloud is distributed evenly over the two atoms. Carbon-hydrogen bonds are said to be non-polar because they do not have positive and negative poles within themselves. Hope this helps. </span>
