Use the formula in terms of half life from the normal exponential functions 
<span>
N(t) = N(0) (1/2) ^ (t/thalf) </span>
<span>
N(0) is the original quantity </span>
<span>
N(t) = quantity remaining at time t </span>
<span>
t is the time </span>
<span>

thalf is half life </span>
<span>
1/16 = (1/2)^(t/3.82) </span>
<span>
16 = 2^(t/3.82) </span>
<span>
4 = t/3.82 </span>
<span>
t = 15.28 days

Convert the following into balanced equations:
sesenic [268]

Gallium metal is heated in oxygen gas, it melts and forms solid gallium(III) oxide.

             Ga + O₂⇒   Ga O₂

Balance the atoms with simple - whole coefficients.

4 Ga + 3 O₂   2 Ga₂O₃.

Specify the states of matter.

4 Ga(s)  + 3 O₂ (g) ⇒   2 Ga₂O₃.(s)

Therefore, balanced equation is----- 4 Ga(s)  + 3 O₂ (g)  ⇒ 2 Ga₂O₃.(s)

What is the balanced formula equation?

A balanced equation is an equation for a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge is the same for both the reactants and the products. In other words, the mass and the charge are balanced on both sides of the reaction.

Why are equations balanced?

A balanced equation obeys the Law of Conservation of Mass. This is an important guiding principal in science. Finally, a balanced equation lets up predict the amount of reactants needed and the amount of products formed.

The atomic mass is the sum of the number of ________ and ________ in the nucleus of an atom. Choose two answers from the options
iVinArrow [24]

Answer :

The atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

Explanation :

Atomic number : it is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number or atomic mass : It is defined as the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons.

Mass number or atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

For example :

Number of protons in carbon = 6

Number of neutrons in carbon = 6

Mass number or atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Mass number or atomic mass = 6 + 6

Mass number or atomic mass = 12

Thus, the atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

One isotope of Br has a half-life of 16.5 hours. How much of a 2.00 gram sample remains at the end of 1.00 day?
valina [46]

Answer:

half life=16.5hrs

sample=2g

total time=1day=24hrs

no. of half lives=total time/half life

no. of half lives=24hrs/16.5hrs=1.45approx1.5

sample left=1/2n=1/2[1.5]=0.707gapprox
