The half life of a radioactive element is the time needed to the element to decay and reach the half amount of the initial amount. Here we have a radioisotope element which decays its half from 10,000 to 5,000 in two days. Therefore, its half life is 2 days.

Define significant figure. Discuss the importance of using the proper number of significant figures in measurements and calculat
anastassius [24]

Explanation:

Significant figure is the measure of how accurately something can be measured. It carries meaning contributing to its measurement resolution. It is important to use proper number of significant figures to get a precise measurement. For example, if we use a meter stick then measurements like 0.874 meters, or 0.900 meters, are good because they indicate that we can measure to the nearest millimeter. Whereas a measurement like 0.8 does not tell that a meter stick can measure to the nearest millimeter.

The prefix 'kilo-' means a thousand. So a kilo-gram is a thousand grams. 1 kilogram=1,000 grams How many kilograms is 1,008 gram
lesantik [10]

<u>Answer:</u>  1.0 kilograms.

<u>Explanation:</u>

One kilogram is equal to a thousand grams.

Supposing x to be the number of kilograms equal to one thousand and eight grams, we can write it as:

1 kg = 1000 grams

x kg = 1008 grams

To solve for x, we can simply divide 1008 grams by 1000 thousand grams to get the answer.

x = 1008 / 1000

x = 1.008

Rounding this value to the nearest tenth, it will become 1.0 kilograms.

A 1.00 liter solution contains 0.24 M hypochlorous acid and 0.31 M sodium hypochlorite. If 0.160 moles of potassium hydroxide ar
ryzh [129]

Explanation:

When OH- (as in potassium hydroxide) is added, it reacts with the acid (HOCl) to reduce the amount of HOCl and increase the concentration of  sodium hypochlorite.

Potassium hydroxide will react with the hypochlorous acid to produce hypochlorite ions. In the process, some of the weak acid will be consumed, along with the added strong base.

This occurs as follows:

HClO(aq) + KOH(aq) → KClO(aq) + H2O(l)  

since water is formed, this maintains the pH.  Thus ...

A. The number of moles of HClO will decrease. - TRUE

B. The number of moles of ClO- will increase. - TRUE

C. The equilibrium concentration of H3O+ will remain the same. - TRUE

D. The pH will decrease. - FALSE

E. The ratio of [HClO] / [ClO-] will decrease. -TRUE. It will decrease as HClO goes down and ClO- goes up.
