Answer:

Time taken = 174 days

Explanation:

Half life is the time take for a subsrtance taken to decay to half of it's origial or initial concentration.

In this probel, the haf life is 87 days, this means that after evry 87 days, the concentration or mass of sulfur-35 decreases by half.

If the starting mass is 1.00g, then we have;

1.00g --> 0.5g (First Half life)

0.5g --> 0.25g (Second half life)

This means that sulphur-335 would undergo two half lives for 0.25g to remain.

Total time taken = Number of half lives  * Half life

Time taken = 2 * 87

Time taken = 174 days

  • The difference between single displacement reaction and double displacement reaction are:

Explanation:

in the chemical reaction an atom in a molecule is replaced by another atom forming the end product .this type of chemical reaction involved only two reactants for example zinc + copper sulphate give us copper sulphate + copper.double displacement reaction is the reaction in which two compounds react together to form two other compounds by mutual exchange of other ions is called double displacement reaction.this type of reaction is involved two or more than two reactants.for example AG and O3 + NaCl give us agcl + nano3

The town of Natrium, West Virginia, derives its name from the sodium produced in the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride (NaC
Alona [7]

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

           Na^{+} + e^{-} \rightarrow Na(s)

Hence, moles of Na = moles of electron used

Therefore, calculate the number of moles of sodium as follows.

       No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                             = \frac{4500 g}{23 g/mol}    (as 1 kg = 1000 g)

                             = 195.65 mol

As,     Q = n \times F       where F = Faraday's constant

              = 195.65 mol \times 96500 C

              = 1.88 \times 10^{7} mol C

Relation between electrical energy and Q is as follows.

               E = Q \times V

Hence, putting the given values into the above formula and then calculate the value of electricity as follows.

              E = Q \times V

                 = 1.88 \times 10^{7} \times 5

                 = 9.4 \times 10^{7} J

As 1 J = 2.77 \times 10^{-7} kWh

Hence,      \frac{9.4 \times 10^{7}}{2.77 \times 10^{-7}} kWh

                = 3.39 kWh

Thus, we can conclude that 3.39 kilowatt-hours of electricity is required in the given situation.

A weak acid, HF, is in solution with dissolved sodium fluoride, NaF. If HCl is added, which ion will react with the extra hydrog
kumpel [21]

Answer:

c. F1-

Explanation:

In this chemical reaction the expression is:

HF  +  NaF   →  NaHF2

The ion that always keep the negative charge is the fluorine with a -1, if in this mixture there is more positive ions (H1+) the negative ion (F1-) will join with them.

Remember that also the Cl1- will be free, but the fluorine is more reactive than the fluorine.

Fed [463]

Answer:

<u>Heating water with an open flame</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Remember, we are told in the label that Acetone is a "flammable liquid and vapor." <em>Being flammable means the substance can easily be set on fire</em>, and we would expect an open flame from heating water to trigger an explosion (a disaster) in which the Acetone is set on fire causing life-threatening dangers to the second group of students.
