To answer the question above, substitute the given values to the given equation,
                                   Q(t) = Q x e^-kt
  
                          12 grams = (36 grams) x e^(-0.00011)(t)

Solving for t gives t = 9,987.38 years or approximately equal to 9,990 years. Thus, the answer is letter C.

Which of the following pairs of elements is most likely to form an ionic bond?
omeli [17]
While the other pairs, sodium and potassium are the metals, nitrogen and iodine, chlorine and bromine, helium and oxygen are the non-metals. They do not form ionic bond. Hence, the correct pairs of elements likely to form ionic compounds are, potassium and sulfur, magnesium and chlorine

A student investigated how much solid was dissolved in sea water.
SashulF [63]

Answer:

weighing balance/analytical balance

Graduated cylinder/buret

Explanation:

The mass of the evaporating basin could be measured using a weighing balance or an analytical balance. Both are classified as weighing scales but the analytical balance can measure the mass of objects up to 4 decimal places, thus, providing better accuracy in measurement than ordinary weighing balance that can only measure up to 2 decimal places.

In order to measure 50 cm3 of the sea water, a graduated cylinder or a buret can be used. Both equipment can measure up to the same decimal places and, thus, have virtually the same accuracy.

A dilute solution of bromine in carbon tetrachloride behaves as an ideal-dilute solution. The vapour pressure of pure CCl4 is 33
ANEK [815]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

     Vapour pressure of pure CCl_{4} = 33.85 Torr

         Temperature = 298 K

      Mole fraction of Br_{2} = 122.36 torr

Therefore, calculate the vapor pressure of Br_{2} as follows.      

     Vapour pressure of Br_{2} = mole fraction of Br_{2} x K of Br_{2}

                                    = 0.050 x 122.36 Torr

                                   = 6.118 Torr

So, vapor pressure of Br_{2} is 6.118 Torr .

Now, calculate the vapor pressure of carbon tetrachloride as follows.

     Vapour pressure of CCl_{4} = mole fraction of CCl_{4} x Pressure of CCl_{4}

                                     = (1 - 0.050) × 33.85 Torr

                                     = 32.1575 Torr

So, vapor pressure of CCl_{4} is 32.1575 Torr  .

Hence, the total pressure will be as follows.

                         = 6.118 Torr + 32.1575 Torr

                         = 38.2755 Torr

Therefore, composition of CCl_{4} = \frac{32.1575 Torr}{38.2755 Torr}

                         = 0.8405

Composition of CCl_{4} is 0.8405 .

And, composition of Br_{2} = \frac{6.118 Torr}{38.2755 Torr}

                                                  = 0.1598

Composition of Br_{2} is 0.1598 .

What is the molarity of 2.00 L of a solution that contains 14.6 g NaCl?
White raven [17]

Answer: The molarity of the solution is 0.125 M

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

Molarity=\frac{n}{V_s}

where,

n = moles of solute

V_s = volume of solution in L

moles of NaCl = \frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{14.6g}{58.5g/mol}=0.250mol

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

Molarity=\frac{0.250mol}{2.00L}=0.125M

Therefore, the molarity of the solution is 0.125 M
