Half-life is defined as the amount of time it takes a given quantity to decrease to half of its initial value. The equation to describe the decay is
Nt=N0(1/2)

where N0 is the initial quantity, Nt is the remaining quantity after time t, t1/2 is the half-time. So work out the equation, t1/2 = t (-ln2)/ln(Nt/N0) = 11.5*(-ln2)/ln(12.5/100) = 3.83 days
Explanation:
Elements need a total of eight electrons to gain stability and look like a noble gas. So, they sometimes need sharing of two, four or even six electrons to complete their octate. So, they form double and triple covalent bonds. One more the reason is the interaction between the p orbitals of the combining atoms. for example A double bond, as in ethene H2C=CH2, arises from one combination of the s orbitals and one combination of the p_y orbitals.
Answer:
1. Percentage by weight = 0.5023 = 50.23 %
2. molar fraction =0.153
Explanation:
We know that
Molar mass of HClO4 = 100.46 g/mol
So the mass of 5 Moles= 5 x 100.46
Mass (m)= 5 x 100.46 = 502.3 g
Lets assume that aqueous solution of HClO4 and the density of solution is equal to density of water.
Given that concentration HClO4 is 5 M it means that it have 5 moles of HClO4 in 1000 ml.
We know that
Mass = density x volume
Mass of 1000 ml solution = 1 x 1000 =1000 ( density = 1 gm/ml)
m'=1000 g
1.
Percentage by weight = 502.3 /1000
Percentage by weight = 0.5023 = 50.23 %
2.
We know that
molar mass of water = 18 g/mol
mass of water in 1000 ml = 1000 - 502.3 g=497.9 g
So moles of water = 497.7 /18 mole
moles of water = 27.65 moles
So molar fraction = 5/(5+27.65)
molar fraction =0.153
Answer:
Precipitation
Explanation:
There are four main stages in the water cycle. They are evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection. Let's look at each of these stages. Evaporation: This is when warmth from the sun causes water from oceans, lakes, streams, ice and soils to rise into the air and turn into water vapour (gas).
Resources that come from nature, some examples include: Water, Gold, Oil, Coal, Apples, Oranges, etc.
