Answer:

24.12 days

Explanation:

First off, let's find out how many decays the compound ; iodine131 undergoes to get to 17.5 percent of its original value.

Half life is simply the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value.

The half-life of iodine-131 is 8.04 days.

100% - 50%  (First Half life)

50%  - 25%  (Second Half life)

25%  - 17.5%  (Third Half life)

This mwans i would take three halff lives;

Time requred = 3 * Half life = 3 * 8.04 days = 24.12 days

Draw the Lewis structure of ozone (O3) showing all possible resonance structures if there are any. Determine the formal charge o
WITCHER [35]

Answer and Explanation:

Find enclosed the Lewis diagrams for ozone (O₃) resonance structures. The diagram shows the two main contributing structures (I and II) with their formal charges.

The formal charge (FC) is determined as follows:

FC= number of valence electrons in free atom - 1/2 (number of bonding electrons) - number of non bonding electrons

The O central atom has the formal charge +1:

FC= 6 - 1/2(6) - 2= +1

The O atom on the right in structure I and on the left in structure II has the formal charge -1:

FC= 6 - 1/2(2) - 6= 6 - 1 - 6 = -1

The O atom on the left in structure I and on the right in structure II has the formal charge 0:

FC= 6- 1/2(4) - 4= 6 - 2 - 4= 0

Given the balanced equation below, calculate the moles of aluminum that are needed to react completely with 13.2 moles of FeO?
irina [24]

The number of moles of aluminium  that are needed to react completely  with 13.2 moles of FeO  is  8.8 moles



calculation


2Al + 3FeO → 3aFe +Al2O3

by use of of mole ratio of Al: FeO  from  equation above = 2:3 the moles of  Al is  therefore

= 13.2  x  2/3=8.8  moles  of Al

In which time period did alchemists attempt to change less valuable metals into gold? 8000 BC – 1000 BC 1000 BC – 450 BC 300 BC
SSSSS [86.1K]
Time Period 3 (300 BC to 1400 AD)

The alchemists were in pursuit of 2 ideals. First, alchemy came about from the belief that cheap metals can be transmuted to gold using the legendary substance <em>Philosopher's Stone</em> for the conversion. These views were greatly influenced by Aristotle. Thus, from 300 BC to 1400 AD, alchemists worked to make the conversion of cheap metals to gold a reality. However, it never succeeded. 

After this, the second ideal that the alchemists were in pursuit of was the concoction of an elixir of life to enable people to live longer and cure all ailments. This took place in the 1500s up to the end of the 1600s. Just like the pursuit of the first ideal, efforts to succeed in the second one all led to failure.
