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>

Determine whether each molecule given below is polar or nonpolar. of2
sergejj [24]

Answer : The molecule OF_2 is a polar molecule.

Explanation :

Polar molecule : When the arrangement of the molecule is asymmetrical then the molecule is polar.

Non-polar molecule : When the arrangement of the molecule is symmetrical then the molecule is non-polar.

The given molecule is, OF_2

The electronegativities of oxygen and fluorine are different. The molecular geometry of OF_2 is bent. As, Fluorine is more elctronegative than the oxygen. So, the arrows putting towards the more electronegative element i.e, fluorine. These arrows do not balance each other. Due to this, the asymmetrical arrangement of these bonds makes the molecule polar.

Hence, the given molecule OF_2 is polar.
