The half-life of bismuth is 5 days. How much of a 100 gram sample will remain after 20 days?

1 answer:

8 0

Half-life is the duration needed for a compound to decay into half of its initial weight. In this case, the initial weight is 100gram. The calculation for the final weight should be:

final weight= initial weight * (1/2)^(duration/half-life)
final weight= 100 grams * (1/2)^(20days/5 days)
final weight= 100 grams * (1/2)^(4)
final weight= 100 * 1/16= 100/16 gram= 6.25 grams

Once the water evaporates, you will start to see the minerals that were present in the water before it changed state. If the water was from the ocean, you will see salt crystals in the evaporated water. If the water was fresh, you may see other minerals typically found in fresh water.

Write the empirical formula of at least four binary ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions: Zn2+, Ni4+, F-

hram777 [196]

Ionic compounds are formed between oppositely charged ions.

A binary ionic compound is composed of ions of two different elements - one of which is a positive ion(metal), and the other is negative ion (nonmetal).

To write the empirical formula of binary ionic compound we must remember that one ion should be positive and other ion should be negative, then only the correct formula should be written. To write the empirical formula the charges of opposite ions should be criss-crossed.

First empirical formula of binary ionic compound is written between $Zn^{2+} (Positive ion)and F^{-} (Negative ion)$

First Formula would be $ZnF_{2}$

Second empirical formula is between $Zn^{2+}(Positive ion) and O^{2-}(Negative ion)$

Second Formula would be $Zn_{2}O_{2}$

Note : When the subscript are same they get cancel out, so $Zn_{2}O_{2}$ would be written as $ZnO$

Third empirical formula is between $Ni^{4+}(Positive ion) and F^{-}(Negative ion)$

Third Formula would be : $NiF_{4}$

Forth empirical formula is between $Ni^{4+}(Positive ion)and O^{2-}(negative ion)$

Forth Formula would be : $Ni_{2}O_{4}$ or $NiO_{2}$

Note- The subscript will be simplified and the formula will be written as $NiO_{2}$ .

The empirical formula of four binary ionic compounds are : $ZnF_{2}, ZnO, NiF_{4},NiO_{2}$
