Answer:

52 da  

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever a question asks you, "How long to reach a certain concentration?" or something similar, you must use the appropriate integrated rate law expression.

The i<em>ntegrated rate law for a first-order reaction </em>is  

ln([A₀]/[A] ) = kt

Data:

[A]₀ = 750 mg

 [A] =    68 mg

t_ ½ =   15 da

Step 1. Calculate the value of the rate constant.

 t_½ = ln2/k     Multiply each side by k

kt_½ = ln2         Divide each side by t_½

      k = ln2/t_½

         = ln2/15

         = 0.0462 da⁻¹

Step 2. Calculate the time

ln(750/68) = 0.0462t

         ln11.0 = 0.0462t

            2.40 = 0.0462t     Divide each side by 0.0462

                   t = 52 da

Plan an investigation using solid and liquid water to show that thermal energy is not the same as temperature.
algol [13]

The investigation using solid and liquid water to show that thermal energy is not the same as temperature is:

  • Place a glass of water and a lake and both should be at the same temperature, find out if do they have the same amount of total thermal energy.

<h3>What is the response to the experiment above?</h3>

The response is No, because the lake is known to have a lot more particles than the glass of water and so they will not have the same  thermal energy.

Note that the temperature is seen as the an average and thermal energy is seen to be the total. A glass of water can be able to have the same temperature as what we call Lake Superior, but the lake has a lot of thermal energy due to the fact that the lake has a lot of water molecules.

So the investigation using solid and liquid water to show that thermal energy is not the same as temperature is Place a glass of water and a lake and both should be at the same temperature, find out if do they have the same amount of total thermal energy.

What is an ionic bond
Pani-rosa [81]
Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

explain how the number of valence electrons in atoms relate to their bonding with other atoms to form molecules ?????
Westkost [7]


valence electrons are the number of electrons in the outer shell. there can only be 8 electrons in the outer shell. The number of valence electrons can be used to determine how many bonds are needed.

For example: H2O

O (oxygen) has 6 valence electrons
H (hydrogen) has 1 valence electron

O needs 2 more electrons to be stable
H needs 1 more electron to be stable

O forms one bond with two H atoms to form H2O.
