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.

What is the hybridization of the central atom, electron geometry, and molecular geometry of H3CCCH?
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Hybridization: sp

Electron geometry: linear

Molecular geometry: linear

Explanation:

H₃CCCH can also be written as its Lewis structure which is shown in the figure attached. The figure shows that the central carbon atom makes a single bond with CH₃ and a triple bond with CH. This means that the hybridization of the carbon is sp and both the electron and molecular geometry are linear with an 180° bond angle.

Density decreases that's why ice floats on water because it's less dense than water.
