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

A 25.0 ml sample of 0.150 m benzoic acid is titrated with a 0.150 m naoh solution. what is the ph at the equivalence point? the
Ad libitum [116K]

Solution:

At the equivalence point, moles NaOH = moles benzoic acid  

HA + NaOH ==> NaA + H2O where HA is benzoic acid  

At the equivalence point, all the benzoic acid ==> sodium benzoate  

A^- + H2O ==> HA + OH- (again, A^- is the benzoate anion and HA is the weak acid benzoic acid)  

Kb for benzoate = 1x10^-14/4.5x10^-4 = 2.22x10^-11  

Kb = 2.22x10^-11 = [HA][OH-][A^-] = (x)(x)/0.150  

x^2 = 3.33x10^-12  

x = 1.8x10^-6 = [OH-]  

pOH = -log [OH-] = 5.74  

pH = 14 - pOH = 8.26

As the pressure on the surface of a liquid decreases, the temperature at which the liquid will boil
ankoles [38]

Answer: option (1) decreases.


Explanation:


May be you have experienced that: when you go to the beach, where the atmposhpere pressure is greater than the atmosphere pressure in places that are at higher altitudes, the water takes longer to boil. That is because the boiling temperature is greater, and you need more total heat (more time) to permit the liquid to reach that temperature.


The reason why that happens is because substances boil when the vapor pressure (the pressure of the particles of vapor over the liquid) equals the atmosphere pressure. So, when the atmposhere pressure increases, the temperature at which the vapor pressure reaches the atmosphere pressure also increases, and when the atmosphere pressure decreases, the temperature at which the vapor pressure reaches the atmosphere pressure decreases.
