Hey there!

A half-life means after a certain amount of time, half of that substance will be gone/changed after that time.

How many half-lives are in 16 days?

Multiply 16 by 24 (to get the total hours) and divide that by 2.5.

That is 153.6 half-lives.

35(0.5)^(153.6) represents the equation for this.

Simplify this and get 8.88 x 10^(-45).

There will be 2.02 x 10^(-45)g of germanium-66 sample remaining after 16 days.

Hope this helps!

What does sound travel slowest through? Rock, Steel, Air, or Water?
tatyana61 [14]
Through Air sounds travels approximately 343 meters/second. Why the difference? Because the closer together the molecules in a substance are, the faster sound will travel through that medium.

When a 14.2-g sample of mercury (II) oxide is decomposed into its elements by heating, 13.2 g Hg is obtained. What is the percen
nevsk [136]
Mercury (ii) oxide is made up of mercury and oxygen. The total mass of mercury (ii) oxide is 14.2 g, after decomposition 13.2 g of mercury were formed, therefore the mass of oxygen 1 g (14.2 g -13.2 g).
Percentage of oxygen = (1/14.2)×100 = 7.04%
Percentage of mercury = (13.2/14.2) × 100 = 92.96%
Therefore, percentage composition of the compound, oxygen is 7.04% and mercury is 92.96%.

HELPPPPP ME <br><br>PLISSSSS ​
Talja [164]

Answer:

pH value of a solution depends on the concentration of hydrogen ions

(pH = -log[H+(aq)].

Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, while ethanoic acid is a weak acid. Strong acids ionize completely in water (to give ions which includes H+(aq)), while weak acids only ionize partially in water.  

Therefore, even if both hydrochloric acid and ethanoic acid are monobasic acids (each molecule can ionize completely to give 1 hydrogen ion), since hydrochloric acid ionizes completely in water and ethanoic acid does not ionize completely, the concentration of hydrogen ions in hydrochloric acid is higher than that of ethanoic acid, leading to a lower pH value for hydrochloric acid, while higher for ethanoic acid.
