Answer:

64.52 mg.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Half life (t½) = 1590 years

Initial amount (N₀) = 100 mg

Time (t) = 1000 years.

Final amount (N) =.?

Next, we shall determine the rate constant (K).

This is illustrated below:

Half life (t½) = 1590 years

Rate/decay constant (K) =?

K = 0.693 / t½

K = 0.693/1590

K = 4.36×10¯⁴ / year.

Finally, we shall determine the amount that will remain after 1000 years as follow:

Half life (t½) = 1590 years

Initial amount (N₀) = 100 mg

Time (t) = 1000 years.

Rate constant = 4.36×10¯⁴ / year.

Final amount (N) =.?

Log (N₀/N) = kt/2.3

Log (100/N) = 4.36×10¯⁴ × 1000/2.3

Log (100/N) = 0.436/2.3

Log (100/N) = 0.1896

Take the antilog

100/N = antilog (0.1896)

100/N = 1.55

Cross multiply

N x 1.55 = 100

Divide both side by 1.55

N = 100/1.55

N = 64.52 mg

Therefore, the amount that remained after 1000 years is 64.52 mg

A = Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum

B = Vacuole

C = Mitochondria (Plural)

D = Nucleolus

E = Cell Wall

Explanation:

This is obviously a plant cell. Animal cells do not have cell walls(E), and most animal cells will not have a vacuole(B). Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum: This produces protiens (contains ribosomes) but when looked through a microscope, will appear to be smooth. The vacuole(B) is like a storage for the plant cell, and it helps support the plant cell. This is the reason why plants “droop” when you don’t water them for a long time. Mitochondia (Plural) processes nutrients for the cell. The nucleolus(D) covers the nucleus. It’s main function is to process RNA and combine it with proteins. The cell wall(E) helps support and protect the cell.

Which statement is TRUE about oxidation-reduction reactions? a. Every oxidation must be accompanied by a reduction. b. There are
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Every oxidation must be accompanied by a reduction.

Explanation:

Oxidation and reduction are complementary processes. There can be no oxidation without reduction and vice versa. It is actually a given an take affair. A specie looses electrons which must be gained by another specie to complete the process. This explains why the selected option is the correct one.

Chemistry omg need help plz I need plz. I real badly at it and try to get better but plz help me
Rufina [12.5K]
We all struggle in some subjects, you do badly when you don't try, and sometimes we try and can't get the answer, I'll help with that. :)

The first answer is CO2(g), CO2 is a gas, and all gas have... 4) No definite shape, no definite volume.

A piece of ice, a block of wood, and a ceramic cup are solids. They have shapes that do not change and volumes that can be measured. Any matter that is a solid has a definite shape and a definite volume.

A liquid takes the shape of what holds it, besides a flat surface, which will just evidently, take the shape of a flat surface. A liquid has a definite volume, because the volume of a liquid is constant because forces of attraction keep the particles loosely together.

Gases attempt to fill a container of any shape or size. Therefore, it has no definite shape.
There are forces of attraction among the particles in all matter, therefore, it has no definite volume.

The second question might become easier with the explanation above. A liquid has a definite volume because the forces of attraction are loosely together! Therefore, it has a definite volume, but it will take the shape of it's container.

This means... Yes! 2) It retains its original volume but changes shape.

This one is easy. To convert one gram of a solid at its normal heating point to a liquid at the same temperature, is the 1) Heat of Vaporization.

Heat of Vaporization is the amount of heat energy required to convert one gram of a substance from a liquid to a gas.

The third question, the molecules for H20, in a solid phase are always in an geometric and arranged pattern.

Most solids are arranged in geometric and arranged patterns, and since H20 is not in its indefinitely shaped liquid phase, it has a definite shape and thus, retains a repeating (geometric) pattern.

(Note- Some solids like wax or rubber do not have an arranged or geometric pattern.)

The “average of a kinetic energy” is defined as the vitality of movement of particles of a framework.

Or in simpler terms, “energy motion”.

So when temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of a molecule(s) 1) increases.

Use MO diagrams to place B2+, B2, and B2- in order of (a) decreasing bond energy; (b) decreasing bond length.
shepuryov [24]

We use the MO diagram for a homonuclear diatomic species (since C and N are neighbours, we treat them as the "same").

The first two electrons contribute to bonding. The next two are anti-bonding.

The next six contribute to bonding, and the following six are anti-bonding.

So, if we start with CN+, which has 4+5-1 (8) valence electrons, we note that the first two electrons contribute to bonding, while the next two cancel this out; the next four contribute to bonding, so the bond order is 4/2 = 2.

If we add one more electron to get CN, there are now 5 bonding electrons, giving bond order 5/2=2.5.

Adding one more to give CN- would give the bond order 6/2 = 3. (If we added more electrons, each one would lower the bond order.)

Given a series of molecules with identical skeletal structures, the one with the highest bond order has the highest bond energy:

CN+ < CN < CN-

Lewis structures will verify that CN- has a triple bond, but they do not work particularly well for CN+ and CN.
