Half-life<span> is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half its initial value. </span><span>If four half-lives have elapsed for calcium-45, then it would be 4x162.7 = 650.8 days have passed. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.</span>

Answer:

1.78 years

Explanation:

First half life is the time at which the concentration of the reactant reduced to half.

Second half reaction is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/4.

Third half life is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/8.

Fourth half life is the time at which the remaining concentration reduced to half or the initial concentration reduced to 1/16.

There are four half lives. So, time has passed = 4*162.7 days = 650.8 days = 1.78 years

Buffer consists of undissociated acid (ha) and the ion made by dissociating the acid (a-). How does this system buffer a solutio
docker41 [41]

In buffer solution there is an equilibrium between the acid  HA and its conjugate base A⁻: HA(aq) ⇌ H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq).

When acid (H⁺ ions) is added to the buffer solution, the equilibrium is shifted to the left, because conjugate base (A⁻) reacts with hydrogen cations from added acid, according to Le Chatelier's principle: H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq) ⇄ HA(aq). So, the conjugate base (A⁻) consumes some hydrogen cations and pH is not decreasing (less H⁺ ions, higher pH of solution).

A buffer can be defined as a substance that prevents the pH of a solution from changing by either releasing or absorbing H⁺ in a solution.

Buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components and it is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, pH of the solution is relatively stable

5. What volume of silver metal will weigh exactly 4500.0 g. The density of silver is 20.5 g/cm.
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>219.5 mL</h2>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

volume =  \frac{mass}{density} \\

From the question

mass = 4500 g

density = 20.5 g/cm³

We have

volume =  \frac{4500 }{20.5}  \\  = 219.51219...

We have the final answer as

<h3>219.51 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

Explain what a scientific theory is, and what is necessary to make a theory strong and well supported?

A beaker was half filled with freshly distilled H2O and placed on a hot plate. As the temperature of the water reached 100°C, vi
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

If anything but H2O were found, it would be evidence of a chemical change. Therefore, 4 is the only viable evidence that it was a physical change of H2O liquid to H2O gas.
