First thing is you have to find the half life of the substance. The half life equation is
Final Mass = Initial Mass * 0.5^(time/time per half life)
Now we substitute the values given and we get
60 mg = 120 * 0.5^(14/t)
Solve for t and you get
t = 14 hours
Now plug 19 into the equation
Final Mass = 120 * 0.5^(19/14)
Final Mass = 46.84 mg

Explain why copper 2 oxide is a base although it does not turn litmus paper to blue​
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Copper II oxide is a base but not an alkali. An alkali is a soluble base. Since Copper II oxide is not soluble in water then it is not an alkali.

Let us recall that the change of colour of litmus with an alkali requires the presence of water. In the absence of water, solid Copper II oxide does not turn red litmus paper blue.

The ability to turn red litmus paper blue is commonly observed with alkalis and Copper II oxide is not an alkali.

Also recall that since Copper II oxide is not soluble, hydroxide ions are absent hence Copper II oxide does not turn red litmus paper blue.

Schach [20]
D. A disadvantage of nuclear power is that waste products are unsafe and hard to store. They must be stored for many hundreds of years before they becomes safe and easier to dispose of, and we currently don't have a good method of storing them in the meantime.
