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.

How can a piece of wood floating on water illustrate the condition of lowest potential energy and maximum
drek231 [11]

Answer:

By minimizing the height of the body's center of gravity relative to its center of buoyancy

Explanation:

In hydrostatics, the equilibrium state of a floating body relates to either a maximum or minimum of the potential energy.An equilibrium is stable when the potential energy is minimum.Minimizing the height of the floating body's center of gravity relative to its center of buoyancy attains a stable equilibrium configuration.

(a) The original value of the reaction quotient, Qc, for the reaction of H2(g) and I2(g) to form HI(g) (before any reactions tak
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

Assume the initial concentrations of H₂ and I₂ are 0.030 and 0.015 mol·L⁻¹, respectively.

We must calculate the initial concentration of HI.

1. We will need a chemical equation with concentrations, so let's gather all the information in one place.

                   H₂ +    I₂    ⇌ 2HI

I/mol·L⁻¹:    0.30   0.15         x

2. Calculate the concentration of HI

Q_{\text{c}} = \dfrac{\text{[HI]}^{2}} {\text{[H$_{2}$][I$_{2}$]}} =\dfrac{x^{2}}{0.30 \times 0.15} =  5.56\\\\x^{2} = 0.30 \times 0.15 \times 5.56 = 0.250\\x = \sqrt{0.250} = \textbf{0.50 mol/L}\\\text{The initial concentration of HI is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.50 mol/L}}$}

3. Plot the initial points

The graph below shows the initial concentrations plotted on the vertical axis.
