What percentage of radioactive substance remains after two half-lives

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ksju [112]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

After 2 half-lives there will be 25% of the original isotope, and 75% of the decay product. After 3 half-lives there will be 12.5% of the original isotope, and 87.5% of the decay product. After 4 half-lives there will be 6.25% of the original isotope, and 93.75% of the decay product.

Why does such a small decrease in pH mean such a large increase in acidity?
den301095 [7]

Answer:

pH is an index of how many protons, or hydrogen ions (H+) are dissolved and free in a solution. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14. A fluid with a pH of 7 is neutral. Below 7, it is acidic; above 7, it is alkaline.

The more below or above 7 a solution is, the more acidic or alkaline it is. The scale is not linear—a drop from pH 8.2 to 8.1 indicates a 30 percent increase in acidity, or concentration of hydrogen ions; a drop from 8.1 to 7.9 indicates a 150 percent increase in acidity. Bottom line: Small-sounding changes in ocean pH are actually quite large and definitely in the direction of becoming less alkaline, which is the same as becoming more acidic.

If you think about it, we use descriptive words like this all the time. A person who stands 5’5” tall and weighs 300 pounds isn’t thin. If he loses 100 pounds, he still won’t be thin, but he will be thinner than he was before he went on the diet. (And we are more likely to comment that he’s looking trimmer than to say he’s not as fat as he used to be.)

A concentration cell is constructed by using the same half-reaction for both the cathode and anode. What is the value of standar
Akimi4 [234]

Solution :

A cell that is concentrated is constructed by the same half reaction for the anode as well as he cathode.

We know,

In a standard cell,

the reduction half cell reaction is :

$Ag^+(aq)+e^- \rightarrow Ag(s) E^0 = -0.80 \ V$

The oxidation half ell reaction :

$Ag(s) \rightarrow Ag^+(aq) + e^- \ E^0= +0.80 \ V$

Thus the complete reaction of the cell is :

$Ag^+(aq)+ Ag(s) \rightarrow Ag^+(aq)+Ag(s)$

$E^0 $ cell = $E_R - E_L = 0.00  \ \text{volts}$

If a gas occupies a volume of 950 mL at standard temperature, what volume will it
n200080 [17]
Voulme 1= 950 mL
Volume 2= ?
Temperature 1 = 25 C
Temperature 2 = 50 C
Convert your temperature to Kelvin
C+273=K
Temperature 1 = 25 C + 273 = 298 K
Temperature 2 = 50 C + 273 = 323 K

Plug in to the Formula
950 mL/298 K = ? / 323 K

Rearrange the formula to make one to solve for what is missing.
To get 323 K out of the denominator multiply by it.
Making it
950 mL x 323 K / 298 K = ?

Plug it in
950 mL x 323 K / 298 K = 1027.9 mL
