Chemistry
1 answer:
Lunna [17]3 years ago
3 0

P4O9 is an oxide of phosphorous

so it will named accordingly

There are four phosphorous atoms and nine oxygen atoms

four will be represented as "tetra"

Nine will represented as "non"

so the name of the compound will be

tetraphosphorous nonoxide

How much time would it take for 12000 atoms of nitrogen-13 (half-life is 7.13 s) to decay to 750 atoms?
Rainbow [258]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

28.52 seconds

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Initial number of atoms of Nitrogen 12,000 atoms

Half-life = 7.13

Number of atoms after decay = 750 atoms

We are required to determine the time taken for the decay.

Note that half life is the time taken for a radioactive isotope to decay to a half of its original amount.

Using the formula;

Remaining amount = Initial amount × (1/2)^n , where n is the number of half lives

In our case;

750 atoms = 12,000 atoms × (1/2)^n

0.0625 = 0.5^n

n = log 0.0625 ÷ log 0.5

n = 4

But, 1 half life =7.13 seconds

Therefore;

Time taken = 7.13 seconds × 4

                  = 28.52 seconds

Therefore, the time taken for 12,000 atoms of nitrogen to decay to 750 atoms is 28.52 seconds

Name the following compound: <br> C5Si7
skad [1K]

Answer:

Pentacarbon heptasilicide.

Explanation:

In order to name the following compound, we need to identify whether it is molecular or ionic.

Molecular compounds consist of non-metal atoms, while ionic compounds would have metal cations in their composition.

In the given compound, C_5Si_7, we have two non-metals, carbon and silicon, meaning we should follow the molecular compound naming rules. The rules involve using prefixes to state the number of individual atoms.

The two prefixes required here are 'penta' for 'five' to indicate 5 carbon atoms present and 'hepta' for 'seven' to indicate 7 silicon atoms present.

The first part of the name would be pentacarbon (notice that the standard name for the first element is used). The second part would be heptasilicide (notice that the second atom would have an ending of -ide followed by the standard beginning of silicon).
