Answer:

The Earth rotates on its axis at a constant tilt.

Earths rotation on its axis at a constant tilt provides seasonal changes in the different part of the country. This resulted to the distribution of the heat of the sun from northern hemisphere and to southern hemisphere. Making areas with hot temperature may experience rainy season in a year. This will help production of crops or food supply and water supply available for living organism.

If the Earth's rotation is not tilted, then both the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere will be covered with thick ice sheet. The equatorial region or near the equatorial region will experience tremendous warm temperature. Making our life on Earth not ideal for living.

Magnetic Field

Earth is protected by the magnetic from the dangerous radiation coming from the heat of the sun.

Water and oxygen

These two elements are essential for living organism in order to survive. The existence of waters proves that Earth temperature is conducive for living.

How many molecular orbitals would be present in a molecule with the formula: ch2o?

Zigmanuir [339]

There are two molecular orbitals in the CH2O or formaldehyde. These are designated by the two types of bonding involved. The first is the sigma bonding. It is the head-on overlap of electrons of the C and H atoms. The second molecular orbital is formed from the pi orbital bonding. This is a sideway overlap of electrons between C-O bonding.

Nuclear decay is a first-order kinetics process. What is the half-life of a radioactive isotope if it takes 233 minutes for the

-BARSIC- [3]

<u>Answer:</u> The half life of the given radioactive isotope is 43.86 minutes

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}$

where,

k = rate constant = ?

t = time taken for decay process = 233 minutes

$[A_o]$ = initial amount of the reactant = 0.500 M

[A] = amount left after decay process = 0.0125 M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$k=\frac{2.303}{233}\log\frac{0.500}{0.0125}\\\\k=0.0158min^{-1}$

The equation used to calculate half life for first order kinetics:

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

where,

$t_{1/2}$ = half-life of the reaction = ?

k = rate constant = $0.0158min^{-1}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{0.0158min^{-1}}=43.86min$

Hence, the half life of the given radioactive isotope is 43.86 minutes

What is the half life of an atom that goes from 16000 g to 125 g in 163.24 days.

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

$23.32\ \text{days}$

Explanation:

N = Final mass of atom = 125 g

$N_0$ = Initial mass of atom = 16000 g

t = Time taken = 163.24 days

$t_{1/2}$ = Half life

We have the relation

$N=N_0\dfrac{1}{2}^{\dfrac{t}{t_{1/2}}}\\\Rightarrow 125=16000\times \dfrac{1}{2}^{\dfrac{163.24}{t_{1/2}}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{125}{16000}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{\dfrac{163.24}{t_{1/2}}}\\\Rightarrow \ln0.0078125=\dfrac{163.24}{t_{1/2}}\ln0.5\\\Rightarrow t_{1/2}=\dfrac{163.24\times\ln0.5}{\ln0.0078125}\\\Rightarrow t_{1/2}=23.32\ \text{days}$

The half life of the atom is $23.32\ \text{days}$ .
