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!

Explain Wurtz reaction with an example ~​
Deffense [45]

Wurtz reaction is a special type of organic reaction involving the synthesis of aliphatic hydrocarbons from two molecules of an alkyl halide and two atoms of sodium in the presence of dry ether solution

Please bear in mind that wurtz reaction fails whenever tertiary alkyl halides are used.

An example of Wurtz reaction is given below:

2R – X + 2Na → R–R + 2Na + X−

<h3>What are organic compounds?</h3>

Organic compounds can simply be defined as those classes of organic molecules which contain carbon atoms covalently bonded to hydrogen atoms (C-H bonds).

Below are some few general characteristics of organic compounds:

  • All organic compounds contain carbon.

  • Most of them are flammable.

  • They are all soluble in non-polar solvents

  • Most organic compounds / substances are covalently bonded molecules

Some classes of organic compounds are:

  • Alkanes
  • Alkenes
  • Alkenes

So therefore, Wurtz reaction is a special type of organic reaction involving the synthesis of aliphatic hydrocarbons from two molecules of an alkyl halide and two atoms of sodium in the presence of dry ether solution

Which model can be used to trace genetic inheritance
Vesnalui [34]
To tract genetic inheritance ( phenotype or genotype) from one generation to another generation, PEDIGREE CHART is used. Pedigree Chart is a diagram shows the occurrence and appearance of a particular genes of an individual organism from its ancestor down to the generations it follows. Relationship in a pedigree is shown as a series of linear graph. Parents are connected to a horizontal lines while vertical lines will lead to the offspring.
