Why is it good to use blue and red litmus for the same solution?
Neko [114]

Under acidic conditions, the solution is red, and under alkaline conditions, the solution is blue. Chemical reactions other than acid-base can also cause a color change to litmus paper. For instance, chlorine gas turns blue litmus paper white – the litmus dye is bleached, because of presence of hypochlorite ions.

Why do we experience the changing of the seasons on earth
iren2701 [21]

<u>Answer:</u>

Earth's axis and position around the sun.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons to change. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth acquire the Sun's most direct rays(Or heat) because of the orbital rotation of Earth. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer inside the Northern Hemisphere. And whilst the South Pole tilts towards the Sun, it is winter within the Northern Hemisphere and vise versa.

Exactly how much time must elapse before 16 grams of potassium-42decays, leaving 2 grams of the original isotope?(1) 8 × 12.4 ho
AleksandrR [38]
The answer is <span>(3) 3 × 12.4 hours
</span>
To calculate this, we will use two equations:
(1/2) ^{n} =x
t_{1/2} = \frac{t}{n}
where:
<span>n - number of half-lives
</span>x - remained amount of the sample, in decimals
<span>t_{1/2} - half-life length
</span>t - total time elapsed.

First, we have to calculate x and n. x is <span>remained amount of the sample, so if at the beginning were 16 grams of potassium-42, and now it remained 2 grams, then x is:
2 grams : x % = 16 grams : 100 %
x = 2 grams </span>× 100 percent ÷ 16 grams
x = 12.5% = 0.125

Thus:
<span>(1/2) ^{n} =x
</span>(0.5) ^{n} =0.125
n*log(0.5)=log(0.125)
n= \frac{log(0.5)}{log(0.125)}
n=3

It is known that the half-life of potassium-42 is 12.36 ≈ 12.4 hours.
Thus:
<span>t_{1/2} = 12.4
</span><span>t_{1/2} *n = t
</span>t= 12.4*3

Therefore, it must elapse 3 × 12.4 hours <span>before 16 grams of potassium-42 decays, leaving 2 grams of the original isotope</span>
