Hey there!

A half-life means after a certain amount of time, half of that substance will be gone/changed after that time.

There are two half lives in 20 years because 20 ÷ 10 = 2.

So, we divide the 100g sample in half 2 times.

100 ÷ 2 = 50

50 ÷ 2 = 25

There will be 25g of the radioactive sample remaining after two half lives.

Hope this helps!

Which orbital is partially filled in the Zirconium (ZI) atom?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

4d orbital.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since zirconium's atomic number is 40, we fill in the electron configuration up to 40 as shown below:

1s^2,2s^2,2p^6, 3s^2,3p^6,4s^2,3d^{10},4p^6,5s^2,4d^2

Thus, the orbital 4d is partially filled.

Best regards!

Select the property that is not a characteristic of an ideal recrystallization solvent.
dybincka [34]

Answer:

(C) The recrystallization solvent should be nonvolatile.

Explanation:

Recrystallization is the separation technique which is used to purify the solid compounds in their crystal or amorphous form.

Some properties follow the recrystallization process as:

The solids are more soluble in hot solvent as compared to the solubility in the cold solvent.

The solvent must have lower boiling point and can be volatile easily.

The solvent should not react with the compound.

The impurities must be soluble in the cool solvent, so that only the pure product crystallizes.

Hence, Answer - C which is not an ideal characteristic.
