Half-life refers to the time taken for half of the atoms in a radioactive substance to decay. Therefore in 1 half-life the 80 mg of substance will reduce to 40 mg. In another half-life it will reduce from 40 mg to 20 mg, then in a third half-life from 20 mg to 10 mg. Therefore the half-life is equal to the total time taken to decay from 80 mg to 10 mg divided by 3:
t(1/2) = 36 hours / 3 = 12 hours.

Enter the chemical formula of a binary molecular compound of hydrogen and a Group 4A element that can reasonably be expected to
irakobra [83]

Answer: GeH4 (Germanium(IV) Hydride)

Explanation:

A Binary molecular compound Hydrogen and a Group 4A element which is more more acidic than SiH4 in aqueous solution is GeH4.

The pKa of GeH4;

= 25

Whilst that of SiH4

= 35

The lesser the pKa the higher the Ka which means more acidic.

A chemist prepares a solution of barium acetate by measuring out of barium acetate into a volumetric flask and filling the flask
leonid [27]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

A chemist prepares a solution of barium acetate by measuring out 32 g of barium acetate into a 350 ml volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with water. Calculate the concentration in of the chemist's barium acetate solution. Round your answer to significant digits.

Answer:  The concentration of barium acetate solution is 0.375 mol/L

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}

where,

n = moles of solute

V_s = volume of solution in ml

moles of Ba(CH_3COO)_2 = \frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{32g}{255g/mol}=0.125mol

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

Molarity=\frac{0.125\times 1000}{350ml}

Molarity=0.357M

Therefore, the concentration of solution is 0.375 mol/L
