a 32 gram radioactive sample has a half-life of 2 days how much of the original sample remains after 6 days

1 answer:

3 0

First, we will get the "n", the number of half lives, it is the elapsed time over the half life. In the problem, the time is measured in days, so we have

6/2 = 3

to get the ending amount of radioactive sample, we have

32g x (1/2)³ = 4 grams of radioactive sample ⇒ the amount left after 6 days

If you know your acid concentration is .650 M and you used 15.00 mL, what was the concentration of the base if you needed 35.5 m

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

0.29

Explanation:

Since the name of the acid (and the equation) is not given, you must assume that it is a 1:1 ratio. Use equation: volume of acid x molarity of acid = volume of base x molarity of base (when the ratio is 1:1).

Which of the following is most likely to form multiple (double or triple) bonds? 1. Li 2. Cl 3. N 4. H 5. F

alukav5142 [94]

Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of lithium is 3 and its electronic distribution is 2, 1. So, to attain stability it will loose an electron and hence, it forms a single bond.

Atomic number of chlorine is 17 and it has 7 valence electrons. Hence, in order to attain stability it will gain one electron and therefore, it forms a single bond only.

Atomic number of nitrogen is 7 and its electronic distribution is 2, 5. Therefore, to attain stability it needs to gain 3 more electrons. Hence, a nitrogen atom is able to form a triple bond and also it is able to form a double bond.

Hydrogen has atomic number 1 and it attains stability by gaining one electron. Therefore, a hydrogen atoms always forms a single bond.

Atomic number of fluorine is 9 and its electronic distribution is 2, 7. To complete its octet it needs to gain one electron. Hence, a fluorine atom always forms a single bond.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options nitrogen is most likely to form multiple (double or triple) bonds.
