The answer is <span>(3) 3 × 12.4 hours
</span>
To calculate this, we will use two equations:
(1/2) ^{n} =x
t_{1/2} = \frac{t}{n}
where:
<span>n - number of half-lives
</span>x - remained amount of the sample, in decimals
<span>t_{1/2} - half-life length
</span>t - total time elapsed.

First, we have to calculate x and n. x is <span>remained amount of the sample, so if at the beginning were 16 grams of potassium-42, and now it remained 2 grams, then x is:
2 grams : x % = 16 grams : 100 %
x = 2 grams </span>× 100 percent ÷ 16 grams
x = 12.5% = 0.125

Thus:
<span>(1/2) ^{n} =x
</span>(0.5) ^{n} =0.125
n*log(0.5)=log(0.125)
n= \frac{log(0.5)}{log(0.125)}
n=3

It is known that the half-life of potassium-42 is 12.36 ≈ 12.4 hours.
Thus:
<span>t_{1/2} = 12.4
</span><span>t_{1/2} *n = t
</span>t= 12.4*3

Therefore, it must elapse 3 × 12.4 hours <span>before 16 grams of potassium-42 decays, leaving 2 grams of the original isotope</span>

What prediction can i make about malaria
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

A disease caused by a plasmodium parasite, transmitted by the bite of infected mosquitoes.

The severity of malaria varies based on the species of plasmodium.

Symptoms are chills, fever, and sweating, usually occurring a few weeks after being bitten.

People traveling to areas where malaria is common typically take protective drugs before, during, and after their trip. Treatment includes antimalarial drugs.

2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl3 + 3H2<br> If 85.0 grams of HCl react, how many moles of H2 are produced?
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

1.17 mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

2 Al + 6 HCl → 2 AlCl₃ + 3 H₂

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 85.0 g of HCl

The molar mass of HCl is 36.46 g/mol.

85.0 g × 1 mol/36.46 g = 2.33 mol

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of H₂ produced from 2.33 moles of HCl

The molar ratio of HCl to H₂ is 6:3.

2.33 mol HCl × 3 mol H₂/6 mol H₂ = 1.17 mol H₂

Oxalic acid, H2C2O4, reacts
Dominik [7]

Answer:0.005M

Explanation:

First deduce the oxidation and reduction half equations and from that obtain the balanced redox reaction equation. From that, the number of moles of reacting species are seen from the stoichiometry of the reaction from which the number of moles of oxalate is obtained and substituted to obtain the molar concentration of oxalate.
