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!

1(a). What is the solubility of calcium chloride (CaCl2) at 5°C?
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

60 g/100 g water  

Explanation:

Find 5 °C on the horizontal axis.

Draw a line vertically from that point until you reach the solubility curve for CaCl₂.  

Then draw a horizontal line from there to the vertical axis.

The solubility of CaCl₂ is 60 g/100 g water.

How many 2-tablespoon doses are in 4 bottles of medication containing 16 ounces each?
Dima020 [189]

1 tablespoon = 0.5 ounces

We are required to find for 2 table spoons.

2 table spoons = 2 x 0.5 = 1 ounce.

Each bottle has 16 ounce.

Number of bottles = 4

So total number = 4 x 16 = 64 ounces.

Number of 2 table spoons = \frac{64 ounce}{1 ounce}

= 64

Thus there are 64 2-tablespoon doses are in 4 bottles of medication containing 16 ounces each.

Write a balanced half-reaction for the oxidation of aqueous hydrazine N2H4 to gaseous nitrogen N2 in basic aqueous solution
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

N2H2(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) ----------> N2(g) + 2H2O(l) + 2e

Explanation:

Hydrazine is mostly used in thermal engineering as an anticorrosive agent. Hydrazine can be oxidized in aqueous solution as shown in the equation above. Oxidation has to do with loss of electrons and increase in oxidation number.

The oxidation number of nitrogen in the equation increased from -1 in hydrazine on the lefthand side of the reaction equation to zero in nitrogen on the right hand side of the reaction equation. Two electrons were lost in the process as shown.

What is true about resonance structures? Select the correct answer below: They are all different molecules. The interconvert wit
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The correct answer is: <em>They each partially describe the bonding in a molecule.</em>

Explanation:

Some chemical molecules cannot be described completely by using only one Lewis structure. In these cases, we can describe the molecule by drawing 2 or more Lewis structures, and the structures are called <u>resonance structures</u>. The overall molecular structure is explained by all the resonance structures together. So, they each describe the bonding in the molecule only partially.

In which of the pairs listed below are both compounds strong electrolytes? Are any strong acids or bases?
Ganezh [65]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

NaCl and Sr(OH)2

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • An electrolyte is a substance that is either in molten or aqueous form that can be decomposed by passing an electric current through it.
  • Electrolytes are classified as either strong electrolytes or weak electrolytes.
  • Strong electrolytes are either strong bases or acids which completely ionizes to give mobile ions which are responsible for conduction of electricity.
  • NaCl is a salt and Sr(OH)₂ is a strong base, both are strong electrolytes.
