Answer:

200 Days

Explanation:

Usually not so good in chemistry, but this is math!

Half life means in this time half goes away.  What happens when two half lives pass?  half of what was remaining goes away.  Maybe an example will make it more clear.

Say we start with 100 grams.  After the amount of time for the half life to pass completes, we have 50, or half of the original amount.  The half life time passes again and THAT gets cut in half to 25 grams.  this is 1/4 of the original (Hey, what we're looking for.)  Just to make it clear what is happening after another half life 1/8 remains, so it goes from The starting amount to 1/2 to 1/4 to 1/8 and so on, it keeps getting cut in half.

So how many times do we have to cut 1 in half until we get to 1/4?  Twice as was shown before.  Now, two half lives for this element is what?  100+100 days.  So 200 Days.

The beaker shown below contains a 0.58 M solution of dye in water. How many moles of dye are there in the beaker?
seropon [69]
According to the equation of molarity:

Molarity= no.of moles / volume per liter of Solution

when we have the molarity=0.58 M and the beaker at 150mL so V (per liter) = 150mL/1000 = 0.150 L

by substitution:
∴ No.of moles = Molarity * Volume of solution (per liter)
                        = 0.58 * 0.150 = 0.087 Moles

Consider the following reversible reaction.
katovenus [111]

The equilibrium constant for the reaction is:

K subscript eq equals StartFraction StartBracket upper H subscript 2 EndBracket superscript 2 StartBracket upper O subscript 2 EndBracket over StartBracket upper H subscript 2 upper O EndBracket superscript 2 EndFraction.

<h3>What is equilibrium constant? </h3>

The equilibrium constant (Kₑq) for a given reaction is simply defined as the ratio of the concentration of the products raised to their coefficient to the concentration of the reactants raised to their coefficient.

For example, the equilibrium constant Kₑq for the reaction below is given as

2A <=> B

Kₑq = [B]/[A]²

<h3>How to determine the equilibrium constant </h3>
  • 2H₂O(g) <=> 2H₂(g) + O₂(g)
  • Equilibrium constant (Kₑq) =?

Kₑq = [H₂]²[O₂] / [H₂O]²

K subscript eq equals StartFraction StartBracket upper H subscript 2 EndBracket superscript 2 StartBracket upper O subscript 2 EndBracket over StartBracket upper H subscript 2 upper O EndBracket superscript 2 EndFraction.

when 6.25 grams of pure iron are allowed to react with oxygen , a black oxide forms. if the product weighs 8.15 g, what is the e
erik [133]
We are given with the mass of  pure iron that reacts with oxygen to form an oxide which has a given mass as well. the mass of oxygen reacted is 8.15-6.25 g or 1.9 grams. THen we convert the mass of the reactants to moles. Iron is equal to 0.1119 moles and oxygen is equal to 0.1188. We divide each number to the less amount. Hence iron is 1 and oxygen is approx 1. The empirical formula hence is FeO or ferrous oxide or Iron (II) oxide.
