For this question, assume that you have 1 compound. This compound is divided in half once, so you are left with 0.5. That 0.5 that remains is divided in half again, this is the second half-life, and you are left with 0.25. The final half life involves dividing 0.25 in half, which means you are left with 0.125. For the answer to make sense, you need to know your conversions between decimals and fractions. To make it simple, if you have 0.125 and you times it by 8, you are left with your initial value of 1. Therefore, after three half-lives, you are left with 1/8th of the compound.

How much of a radioactive parent isotope will remain after three half-lives have passed?
Sedaia [141]
After three half lives have passed, there would be only 12.5 percent of the original amount of a radioactive parent isotope that will remain. Half life is the time needed for a certain amount of a substance to be half its initial amount. It is a common term used in nuclear chemistry describing how fast radioactive substances undergo decay. One half life would correspond to only 50% would be left. Two half lives would be 25% only of the original value. Three half lives would be 12.5%. Four half lives would be 6.25% of the initial value. So on and so forth.

Which type of intermolecular attractive force operates between (part A) all molecules, (part B) polar molecules, (part C) the hy
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

PART A: The LDF occurs between all molecules. Dispersion forces result from shifting electron clouds, which cause weak, temporary dipole.

PART B: Dipole dipole operates only between polar molecules. This is when two polar molecules get near each other and the positively charged portion of the molecule is attracted to the negatively charged portion of another molecule.

PART C: Dipole dipole and in some cases hydrogen bonding operate between the hydrogen atom of a polar bond and a nearby small electronegative atom. Only if the atom bonded to it were F, O or N it would be hydrogen bonding. Otherwise it is dipole dipole.

Listed below are possible solutes. In your possession is a beaker with 500 milliliters of water. You want to make an aqueous sol
slavikrds [6]

Answer: I & III

Explanation:  Solutes are the substances which are minimum in quantity and which is required to dissolve in the solvent (which is larger in quantity) in order to make a solution.

In the asked question, it is given that the water is the solvent and from the given solutes we have to pick which would make an aqueous solution with the highest concentration of solute possible.

Thus the most appropriate answers could be the Ammonia and hexanol which can make the highest possible concentration of solute as ammonia is the gas which is highly soluble in water and hexanol is an alcohol which has an affinity for water. Thus the correct option is I & III

How do I find the moles of OH- which reacted (mol) in the titration. Table Attached
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

It is equal to the number of moles of acid that reacted. When Oxalic acid is your limiting reactant it is the # of moles of oxalic acid used. When NaOH is your limiting reactant it is equal to the number of moles of NaOH used.
