If a sample has 25% parent and 75% daughter, how many halflifes have gone by?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anit [1.1K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Two half lives.

Explanation:

It is known that the decay of isotopes and radioactive material obeys first order kinetics.

Also, it is clear that in first order decay the half-life time is independent of the initial concentration.

That means for a sample 100% to decay to 50 % it will take one half-life, and to decay the remaining 50% to 25% it will take another half-life.

So, for a sample has 25% parent and 75% daughter it will have two half-lives.

What do you expect will occur as air masses move over cold locations? Hot locations? How does this movement of air masses affect
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

When air masses will move over cold location then bottom layer of air cools and become more dense. Due to its high density it is trapped near the ground then it flow towards the equator.

When it moves over hot location then bottom layer gets hot and lighter. Then it moves towards poles.

It changes the temperature and humidity of the climate. making hoter region coll and cooler region a bit hot.

Would you predict that the C−O bond lengths in the formate ion would be longer or shorter relative to those in CO2?
ivolga24 [154]
The Lewis structures for formate ion and carbon dioxide are shown in the attached pictures. As you can see, the formate ion consists of one C=O bond and one C-O bond, while carbon dioxide has two C=O bonds. Double bonds are weaker, hence, longer compared to single bonds. Therefore, the C-O bonds in the formate ion is shorter than those in carbon dioxide.

Hydrogen + copper(II) oxide= copper + steam, which substance is oxidized. explain your answers
Vsevolod [243]
Hydrogen is oxidized. The H2 reactant has an oxidation number of 0 because it’s in its elemental form. In the H2O product, H has an oxidation number of +1. The increase in oxidation number is oxidation.
