After the first half-life, 1/2 is unchanged. After the 2nd one, 1/4 remains. After the 4th one, 1/16 remains. So you have 4 half-lives in 48 hours, the half-life is thus 12 hours.

A 250 ml solution of 2.0 M NaOH is diluted to 1.0 liter. What is the final concentration of the solution?
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Diluted concentration is 0.5M

Explanation:

Let's solve this with rules of three, although there is a formula to see it easier

In 1000 mL (1L), we have 2 moles of NaOH

In 250 mL we must have (250 . 2) / 1000 = 0.5 moles of NaOH

These moles will be also in 1 L of the final volume of the diluted solution

More easy:

1 L of solution has 0.5 moles of NaOH

Then, molarity is 0.5 M

The formula is: Concentrated M . Conc. volume = Diluted M . Diluted volume

2 M . 0.250L = 1L . Diluted M

0.5M = Diluted M

Fluoride is moderately basic, by far the most basic of the halides. It is a terrible leaving group. Fluoride is many orders of m
TEA [102]

Answer:   Bromide is many orders of magnitude better than fluoride in leaving group ability

Explanation:

As Size of an atom  Increases,  the Basicity Decreases this is because  if we move downwards  from the top of the periodic table to the bottom of the periodic table, the size of an atom increases. As size increases, basicity will decrease, meaning the element  will be less likely to act as a base implying that the element will be less likely to share its electrons.

in the same vein. With an increase in size, basicity decreases, making the ability of the leaving group to leave increase to increase . This can be seen in the halogens going down the group  from

F--- worst

Cl----fair

Br ----good

 I-----excellent

with fluorine having the worst ability to leave than Bromine which is better in terms of the leaving group ability.
