Answer:

Half life = 13.197 hour

Explanation:

Given:

Old amount (A₀) = 3.2

New amount (A) = 0.4

Radiation decay time (t) = 39.6 hour

Half life = T(1/2)

Find:

Half life = T(1/2) = T

Computation:

A = A₀e^{-(\frac{0.693t}{T} )}

e^{-(\frac{0.693t}{T} )} = 0.4 / 3.2

-[27.4428 / T] = In (0.125)

-[27.4428 / T] = -2.0794

[27.4428 / T] = 2.0794

T = 13.197

Half life = 13.197 hour

Which of the molecules can be involved in hydrogen bonding?<br><br> HF<br> CH3OH<br> CH4<br> H2
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

HF & CH3OH

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonds are formed as a consequence of  the attractions between a partially positive hydrogen (δ+ hydrogen) atom of a molecule and a lone pair of another electronegative element, such as a nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine molecule of another molecule.

In the case of HF, the partially positive hydrogen atom makes a hydrogen bond with the lone pair of a fluorine atom of another HF molecule in its proximity.  

In the case of CH3OH, the partially positive hydrogen atom (bound to Oxygen) makes a hydrogen bond with the lone pair of an oxygen atom of  another CH3OH molecule in its proximity.
