m=0,25m_{0}\\
t=\?\\
\tau_{\frac{1}{2}}=45,1d\\\\
0,25m_{0}=m_{0}*({\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{45,1}}}\\\\
0,25=\frac{1}{2}^{\frac{t}{45,1}}\\\\
log_{a}{b}=c \ \ \Leftrightarrow \ \ a^{c}=b\\\\
\frac{t}{45,1}=log_{\frac{1}{2}}0,25\\\\
\frac{t}{45,1}=2\\\\
t=90,2d

How many acidic H+ ion is given by H3BO3 in aqueous solution?? ...?
notka56 [123]
Boric acid, H3BO3, in aqueous solution would only give out one H+ ion. As it is also produce OH ion and by hydrolysis it produces one proton. <span>All the boron compounds (BX3) are having only 6 valence electrons in it and should follow the octet rule by taking another electron.</span>

A sample of lemon juice has a pH of 3. What is the [OH-] concentration of the lemon juice? A) 11 B) 1 X 10+3 C) 1 X 10-3 D) 1 X
Likurg_2 [28]

pH scale is used to determine the acidity of a solution

pH is calculated using the H⁺ concentration

pOH scale is used to determine how basic a solution is

pOH is calculated using the OH⁻ concentration

pH and pOH are related in the following formula

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 3

pOH = 14 - 3

pOH = 11

pOH is calculated using the following formula

pOH = - log[OH⁻]

[OH⁻] = antilog(-pOH)

[OH⁻] = antilog(-11)

[OH⁻] = 1 x 10⁻¹¹ M

the [OH⁻] concentration of lemon juince is D) 1 x 10⁻¹¹ M

You will be adding a solution containing potassium carbonate to a solution containing hydrochloric acid. What risk is associated
Phantasy [73]

Explanation:

The reaction of potassium carbonate with hydrochloric acid is as follow -

Potassium Carbonate + Hydrochloric acid → Potassium Chloride + Water + Carbon Dioxide.

In the above reaction , the metal carbonate reacts with an acid to give salt , water and carbon dioxide .

The reaction is an exothermic reaction , as the release of carbon dioxide , is indicated by vigorous effervescence .

Hence ,

The temperature of the reaction increases a lot and hence the reaction is very dangerous .

Therefore , the reaction is very risky to perform.

Sometimes you are given a measured amount of two or more reactants and asked how much product can be formed. Explain what steps
Westkost [7]

Explanation:

To solve this problem, follow these steps;

  • Obtain a balanced equation of the reaction and familiarize with the reactants and products.
  • Find the number of moles of the reacting species since they are the known matter in terms of quantity.
  • From the number of moles, determine the limiting reactant.
  • The limiting reactant is the one given in short supply.
  • Such reactant determines the extent of the reaction.
  • Compare the moles of this specie to that of the products using the balanced equation.
  • Obtain the mole of the desired product and find the mass or desired quantity.
  • simply work from the known specie to the unknown

Is this atom more likely to gain electrons or to lose electrons? Explain how you can tell
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Likely to gain electrons

Explanation:

The atom shown is likely to gain additional electrons to complete its electronic configuration.

  • Since this is a neutral specie, the number of protons and electrons are the same.
  • The atom has 16 electrons
  • the number of valence electrons is 6
  • If the atom gains two additional electrons, the octet configuration is attained
  • Also, the atom can lose 6 electrons to become an octet

The atom will prefer to gain additional 2 electrons to give an octet configuration.
