Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

a)

Data

half-life = 16.7 days

go from 1000 to 250 atoms

                                1000

                                  500         1 half life

                                  250         2 half lives

                16.7 days ---------------- 1 half life

                 x             ----------------- 2 half lives

                x = (2 x 16.7) / 1

               x = 33.4 days        

               

b)

number of atoms = ?

after 9 half-lives

                            1000

                              500       1 half life

                               250       2 half lives

                               125        3 half lives

                                62.5     4 half lives

                               31.25     5 half lives

                                15.63    6 half lives

                                 7.81      7 half lives

                                 3.9       8 half lives

                                 1.95      9 half lives

An atom of which element has the greatest attraction for the electrons in a bond with a hydrogen atom?
Nadusha1986 [10]
The question can be changed into a new form:
Which element has the most negative electron affinity, or attraction for electrons? halogens have the highest electron affinities, and thus are more attracted to the electrons in the Hydrogen atom than any element in their respective periods.
In this case all the following choices are in the same period, thus Cl or Chlorine is the answer as it is a halogen.

What are the two variables that affect the electric force between two objects?
givi [52]

Explanation:

The electrical force between two objects is given by the formula as follows :

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}

k is electrostatic constant

q₁ and q₂ are electric charges

d is distance between charges

So, the two force between two charged objects depends on the product of charges and distance between charges.

What volume is occupied by 8.7 g of chlorine gas, Cl2, at 23°C and 1.15 atm pressure
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

V = 5.17L

Explanation:

Mass of gas = 8.7g

T = 23°C = (23 + 273.15)K = 296.15K

P = 1.15 atm

V = ?

R = 0.082atm.L / mol.K

From ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

P = pressure of the gas

V = volume of the gas

n = no. Of moles

R = ideal gas constant

T = temperature of the gas

no of moles = mass / molar mass

Molar mass of Chlorine = 35.5g / mol

No. Of moles = 8.7 / 35.5

No. Of moles = 0.245 moles

PV = nRT

V = nRT / P

V = (0.245 * 0.082 * 296.15) / 1.15

V = 5.9496 / 1.15

V = 5.17L

The volume of the gas is 5.17L
