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

Niven wants to calculate the mass of mgo that is produced by burning of 28.0g of mg. What is the first step in nivens calculatio
babymother [125]

Answer: -

The experiment Niven is doing is burning of Mg.

The first step would be finding the molar mass of MgO

Atomic mass of Mg = 24 g

Atomic mass of Oxygen = 16 g

Molar mass of MgO = 24 x 1 + 16 x 1 = 40 g

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is

2 Mg + O2 -- > 2MgO

From the balanced equation we see that

2 Mg gives 2 MgO

2 x24 g of Mg O gives 2 x 40 g of MgO.

28g of MgO gives \frac{2 x 40 gram x 28 gram }{2 x 24 gram}

= 46.66 g of MgO.

1. Fill in the blanks. Example: A nitrogen atom takes on a 3- charge when it forms an anion and becomes nitride. a. A magnesium
Tema [17]

Answer: a. +2, cation and magnesium ion .

b. -1,  anion, chloride

c. -2, anion, oxide

d. +1. cation , potassium ion

Explanation:

When an atom accepts an electron negative charge is created on atom and is called as anion.

When atom loses an electron positive charge is created on atom and is called as cation.

Magnesium (Mg) with atomic number of 12 has electronic configuration of 2,8,2 and thus it can lose 2 electrons to form Mg^{2+} cation and becomes magnesium ion.

Chlorine (Cl) with atomic number of 17 has electronic configuration of 2,8,7 and thus it can gain 1 electron to form Cl^{-} anion and becomes chloride.

Oxygen (O) with atomic number of 8 has electronic configuration of 2,6 and thus it can gain 2 electrons to form O^{2-} anion and becomes oxide.

Potassium (K) with atomic number of 19 has electronic configuration of 2,8,8,1 and thus it can lose 1 electron to form K^{+} cation and becomes potassium ion.

Please help me with my 8th grade chemistry, I'm behind and don't understand it at all
padilas [110]

When a material is heated, the kinetic energy of that material increases and its atoms and molecules move about more. This means that each atom will take up more space due to its movement so the material will expand. ... Some metals expand more than others due to differences in the forces between the atoms / molecules.
