After 3 years, the substance will go through 4 half lives. You can do 230*(1/2)^4, which is 14.375.
To allow for equations and problems in chemistry to be as precise as possible. When experiments are conducted, and even if the number is the slightest bit off, the problem or experiment could be impacted very negatively. It allows for complete accuracy to ensure nothing goes wrong, since chemistry is very touchy and risky when dealing with extremely unsafe elements.
In chemistry, there is a common note that says, "Like dissolves like".
This pertains to the concept that polar substances can dissolve only other polar substances. Also, nonpolar substances are also only able to dissolve nonpolar substances.
Polarity of the substance depends primarily on the type of bond and the difference in electronegativity.
Water is a polar substance while vegetable oil is not. From the concept presented above, it may be concluded that water will not be able to dissolve the vegetable oil and the assumption is logical.
The experimental mole ratio of silver chloride to barium chloride is calculated as below
fin the mole of each compound
mole= mass/molar mass
moles of AgCl = 14.5g/142.5 g/mol = 0.102 moles of AgCl
moles of BaCl2 = 10.2 g/208 g/mol = 0.049 moles of BaCl2
find the mole ratio by dividing each mole with the smallest mole(0.049)
AgCl= 0.102/0.049 =2
BaCl2 = 0.049/0.049 =1
therefore the mole ratio AgCl to BaCl2 is 2 :1
