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.

Making methanol the element hydrogen is not abundant in nature, but it is a useful reagent in, for example, the potential synthe

ΔG⁰ = ΔH⁰ - TΔS
ΔH⁰ = Hf,(CH₃OH) - Hf,(CO) = -238.7 + 110.5 = -128.2 kJ/mol
ΔS = S(CH₃OH) - S(CO) - 2S(H₂) = 126.8 - 197.7 - 2 x 130.6 = -332.1 J/mol.K
So 
ΔG⁰ = - 128200 + 332.1 T
For the reaction to be spontaneous:
ΔG⁰ < 0
So: -128200 + 332.1 T < 0
332.1 T < 128200
T < 386.028 K

Which is the anode and which is the cathode?
rewona [7]

Answer:

2l- ---> l2 + 2e- is the anode

2H+ + 2e- ---> H2(g) is the cathode

Explanation:

Oxidation occurs when a metal loses two or more electrons in a redox chemical reaction and reduction is when it gains. Thus, oxidation is the anode and reduction is the cathode.

Andy puts some pieces of paper on a drum and then hits the drum with a drumstick. What observation supports the idea that sound
Shkiper50 [21]

Though she hits the drum, the papers on the drum also vibrate.

This is due to the fact that when she hits the drum, the shock waves created by the hitting travel through the skin of the drum and radiate outwards. When they encounter the papers,  some of this energy is transmitted to the papers and the papers also vibrate.
