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!

1.26 * 10^4 + 2.50 * 10^4 in sceintific notation
eduard
Hello! I can help you with this. First, convert them into it’s written out standard form. 10^4 is 10,000. 10,00 * 1.26 is 12,600. 10,000 * 2.5 is 25,000. 12,600 + 25,000 = 37,600 or 3.76 * 10^4 in scientific notation. The answer in scientific notation is 3.76 * 10^4.

Is air an element, compound or mixture? explain your answer
emmainna [20.7K]

It is a mixture because the compounds that make up air e.g. oxygen (o2), Carbon dioxide (co2) and the most important Nitrogen which is an element and makes up 78.09% of air are not chemically bound in the way that compounds are because they can be separated easily and there has been no change in state to any of the compounds or elements in air!hope this helpful!

How many ug of nickel (Ni) are required to make 25.00 nanoliters of a 1.25 mol/L solution? Be sure to report your answer to the
devlian [24]

volume of Ni = 25 nL = 25 x 10⁻⁹ L

mol Ni = 25 x 10⁻⁹ L x 1.25 mol/L = 3.125 x 10⁻⁸

mass = mol x Ar Ni

mass = 3.125 x 10⁻⁸ x 59 g/mol

mass = 1.84 x 10⁻⁶ g = 1.84 μg
