6 0
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is the option A which is: Cl2 + 2e- → 2Cl-

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<em><u>Reduction is the gain of electrons and resulting in neutral or negative ions.</u></em>

<em><u>It is also the gain of hydrogen and release of oxygen ions.</u></em>

  • According to first most definition, option A describes the reduction.
  • Option B is incomplete reaction.
  • While C and D are oxidation reactions.

After 15 minutes, 30 g of a sample of polonium-218 remain unchanged. If the original sample had a mass of 960 g, what is the hal
Keith_Richards [23]
Q1. The answer is 3 minutes.

Let's first calculate the remaining amount in percent:
If 960g is 100 percent (starting amount), 30 g is how many percents:
960 g : 100% = 30 g : x
x = 30 g * 100% / 960 g = 3.125% = 0.03125

Now, using the formula to calculate the number of half-lives:
(1/2)ⁿ = x,
where
x is the remaining amount: x = 0.03125
n is the number of half-lives
1/2 stands for half-life.

(1/2)ⁿ = 0.03125
⇒ n*log(1/2) = log(0.03125) 
    n = log(0.03125)/log(1/2) = log(0.03125)/log(0.5) = -1.505/-0.301 ≈ 5

The number of half-lives is 5.
Now, <span>the number of half-lives (n) is a quotient of total time elapsed (T) and length of half-life (L):
n = T/L
We know:
n = 5
T = 15 min
L = ?

Thus
L = T/n
L = 15 min/5 = 3 minutes

Q2. Filtration should be chosen.
Filtration and distillation are used to separate mixtures - filtration for the separation of heterogeneous mixtures and </span>distillation for the separation of homogeneous mixtures. Imagine that your pile of soil is a mixture. It consists of different components (the leaves, acorns, twigs), so it is the heterogeneous mixture. Therefore, to separate the leaves, acorns, twigs you will use filtration.

Butoxors [25]

According to Albert Einstein's theory of photoelectric effect, metals will only emit electrons when the incident light has a frequency that is above the minimum or threshold frequency.

So if the frequency of the incident light is less than the threshold frequency then electrons will not be emitted from that metal.
