After 6 days, only 4 grams of the original amount will remain after 6 days. I have attached an image on how to calculate half-life so you can plug your give value into the formula.


To add, half-life means for a substance decaying exponentially, the amount of time it takes for the amount of the substance to diminish by half.

A material has a density of 8.9 g/cm^3. You have 3 grams of the substance. How much space does it take up? a. 0.3cm3 b. 3.0 cm3

My name is Ann [436]

D = m/ V

8.9 = 3 / V

V = 3 / 8.9

V = 0.3 cm³

Answer A

hope this helps!

A change of one unit on the pH scale represents a change in the concentration of hydrogen ions by a factor of 10, a change in two units represents a change in the concentration of hydrogen ions by a factor of 100. Thus, small changes in pH represent large changes in the concentrations of hydrogen ions.

10g of a non-volatile and non-dissociating solute is dissolved in 200g of benzene.

ehidna [41]

Answer: The molar mass of solute is 115 g/mol.

Explanation:

Elevation in the boiling point is defined as the difference between the boiling point of the solution and the boiling point of the pure solvent.

The expression for the calculation of elevation in boiling point is:

$\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{boiling point of pure solvent}=i\times K_b\times m$

$\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{Boiling point of pure solvent}=i\times K_f\times \frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times w_{solvent}\text{(in g)}}$ ......(1)

where,

Boiling point of pure solvent (benzene) = $80.10^oC$

Boiling point of solution = $81.20^oC$

i = Vant Hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

$K_b$ = Boiling point elevation constant = $2.53^oC/m$

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute = 10 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute = ? g/mol

$w_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent = 200 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$81.20-80.10=1\times 2.53\times \frac{10\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times 200}\\\\M_{solute}=\frac{1\times 2.53\times 10\times 1000}{1.1\times 200}\\\\M_{solute}=115g/mol$

Hence, the molar mass of solute is 115 g/mol.
