Answer : The initial mass of the sample is, 31.9 mg

Explanation :

Half-life = 4 days

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac{0.693}{4\text{ days}}

k=0.173\text{ days}^{-1}

Now we have to calculate the initial mass of sample.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 0.173\text{ days}^{-1}

t = time passed by the sample  = 12 days

a = initial amount of the reactant  = ?

a - x = amount left after decay process = 4 mg

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

12=\frac{2.303}{0.173}\log\frac{a}{4}

a=31.9mg

Therefore, the initial mass of the sample is, 31.9 mg

The definition of heat transfer through convection involves the movement of a fluid that causes heat to move away from a hear source. That being said, convection can take place in a lake, air inside, and air outside since both liquids and gasses are considered to be fluids. I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

Which element does this Bohr model represent? (look at a periodic table if needed)
Serjik [45]
Circulating round the nucleus are the electrons in various orbits of different energy levels. Electrons are negatively charged and represented by the symbol 'e'. In the given image the number of protons are -6. Hence the element in question is Carbon as Carbon has the atomic number 6.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Sparking can be caused by defective cooktop elements, loose connectors, a wire with frayed insulation or a broken wire arcing over to the appliance metal frame, says Appliance Repair. If the cause of the sparking is a broken wire or a wire with frayed insulation, do not attempt to splice the wire; you must replace it. Repair Clinic suggests checking the spark ignition switches, as they might be defective and in need of replacing.

How does the law of conservation of mass apply to this reaction: Mg + HCl > H2 + MgCl2 ?​
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Chemical equation:

Mg + HCl → H₂ + MgCl₂

24 g + 36.5 g = 2 g+ 95 g

60.5 g = 97 g

The reaction does not hold the law of conservation of mass, because it is not balanced.

Balanced chemical equation:

Mg + 2HCl → H₂ + MgCl₂

24 g + 73 g = 2 g+ 95 g

97 g = 97 g

this equation completely follow the law of conservation of mass.
