This exercise uses the radioactive decay model.

1 answer:

3 0

For radioactive decay, we can relate current amount, initial amount, decay constant and time using:
N = No x exp(-λt)

Half-life = ln(2)/λ
λ = ln(2) / 5730
N/No = 80% = 0.8
0.8 = exp( -ln(2)/5730 x t)
t = 1844 years

Ethane is an alkane having two carbon atoms bound to hydrogen atoms. Recall what you have learned about the tetravalent nature o

svlad2 [7]

The molecule for ethane is C2H6. or CH3-CH3.

Carbon LOVES hydrogen. If possible, Carbon would have four bonds attach to hydrogens. IN this molecule, one of the bond is used to attach a carbon to another carbon, so instead of 4 hydrogens, each carbon would have 3 hydrogens..

Would the N=O bond in HNO2 be longer, shorter, or the same length as the N-O bonds in NO2-?

aivan3 [116]

Explanation:

Bond order is inversely proportional to the bond length.

$B.O\propto \frac{1}{B.L}$

In $HNO_2$ molecule. one nitrogen is double bonded to nitrogen and one oxygen is single bonded to nitrogen and hydrogen bond.

Bond order between the (N=O) bond is 2 which means that bond length between the (N=O) bond is shorter than that of the N-O bond.
Bond order between the (N-O) bond is 1 which means that bond length of the N-O bond is longer than that of the bond length of (N=O) bond.
