The half-life of a pesticide determines its persistence in the environment. A common pesticide degrades in a first-order process

with a rate constant of 6.5 1/hours. What is the half-life in hours of the breakdown reaction? Enter to 4 decimal places.

Answer:

0.1066 hours

Explanation:

A common pesticide degrades in a first-order process with a rate constant (k) of 6.5 1/hours. We can calculate its half-life (t1/2), that is, the times that it takes for its concentration to be halved, using the following expression.

t1/2 = ln2/k

t1/2 = ln2/6.5 h⁻¹

t1/2 = 0.1066 h

The half-life of the pesticide is 0.1066 hours.

Which type of wires (copper, aluminum, or string) are ferromagnetic metals and why?
nalin [4]

Answer: Copper isn't ferromagnetic,

Aluminum isn't ferromagnetic,

String has a ferromagnetic property

Explanation: first of all it is important to understand that all materials have diamagnetic effect.

From this we can explain two distinct property which is Paramagnetism and Ferromagnetism.

1.What do we understand by a paramagnetic material?

Ans- this describes a material that doesn't retain it's magnetic property even when the magnetic field has been removed, an example is Aluminum.

2. Ferromagnetic materials describes those type of materials that even after the removal of magnetic field retains it's magnetism. A good example of this is Iron, nickel etc.

By definition ferromagnetism is a basic property ( which depends on temperature, crystal Structure, chemical composition, etc.) That gives a material that attraction to magnet's and can form permanent magnet.

So from the examples listed in the question,

1. copper doesn't follow as a ferromagnetic material because it requires so much magnetic field to operate and is so weakly magnetized.

2. We already established aluminium as a paramagnetic material because of its weak ability to retain magnetism in the absence of magnetic field.

3. String because of its component which is (iron+carbon) has the ability to form ferrous metals.

What is the most simplified meaning within a language?
AysviL [449]

The most simplified meaning within a language is MORPHEME.

In English language, a morpheme refers to a language unit, that is made up of a word or a word elements which can not be further broken down into meaningful smaller parts. Morphemes are the smallest, basic, grammatical unit of a language that have distinct meaning, just as atoms are the smallest unit of elements in chemistry. Examples of morphemes are: sad, joy, depress, excited, etc.
