TLDR: the answer is C. 0.875.

The basis of this problem is testing your fluency with half-life radioactive decay. The half-life of any radioactive substance represents the amount of time required for 1/2 of the amount of the substance to decay. So, if you had a 100 g sample of Carbon-14, after 5,730 years, only 50 g of Carbon-14 would remain; the other 50 g of substance would have decayed into another substance (Nitrogen-14). If another 5,730 years passes, only 25 g would remain, as half of that 50 g radioactive substance would have decayed.

In the problem, 28 g of Carbon-14 decays as 28,650 years passes, which, when divided by 5,730, yields a value of 5. This number represents the number of half lives that passes during this time. So, over the course of this time, the amount of radioactive substance is cut in half five times.

28 g - 14 g (1 HL) - 7 g (2 HL) - 3.5 (3 HL) - 1.75 g (4 HL) - 0.875 g (5 HL)

After 5 half lives, only 0.875 g of the original 28 g remains.

Particles of clay and silt eroded and deposited by the wind are called
Ivanshal [37]
The correct answer to your question would be B) Loess, or <span>Aeolian deposits , reasoning to your question is because, loess is a german word but in english means loss or loose. So given that clay and small particles that are not combined together are loose particles. moves freely. Hope this helps you out.

which of the following compounds exhibits dipole -dipole forces as its strongest attraction between molecules? o2,ch3Br,CCl4,He,
Archy [21]

Answer:

B. CH3Br

Explanation:

Dipole -Dipole interactions take place in polar molecules.

CH3Br exhibits dipole -dipole forces as its strongest attraction between molecules because it is a polar molecule due to the slightly negative dipole present on the Br molecule.

While O2 is a nonpolar molecule due to its linear structure, CCl4 has zero resultant dipole moment, Helium is non-polar and BrCH2CH2OH is a non polar compound having net dipole moment is zero.

Hence, the correct option is B. CH3Br.

Question 4<br> Calculate the nlass of 7.1 x 1024 formula units of magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH),.
faust18 [17]

its me again this is how you find the answer. note: i dont have the periodic table to see the exact atomic mass to find the molar mass however this is the answer:

so the actual formula is Mg(OH) with a 2 as a subscript because there are 2 Mg. so with Mg(OH)2 the Molar mass is 58.32g/mol. 58.32 g/mol x 7.1x1024 = 4.1x1026g
