The half-life of a radioactive substance describes the amount of time required for half of that radioactive substance to decay into a different form.

In this situation, 100 grams decays into 12.5 grams over the course of 8 hours. We have half lives that look like this -

100 grams - 50 grams (1) - 25 grams (2) - 12.5 grams (3)

three half lives have passed since the start over the course of eight hours, so:

8 hours/3 half-lives = ~2.667 hours per half-life

The half-life of this substance is approximately 2.667 hours.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

8/3 hours

Explanation:

12.5/100=1/8, 1/8*2=2/8=1/4 1/4*2=1/2 1/2*2 = 1 (whole)

we multiplyed 1/8 by two three times to get 1 so 8/3 hours is the answer

Please Help! Is it possible to have two other resonance structures with the double bond being connected to the chlorine.
murzikaleks [220]

It is possible for two other resonance structures to be connected but results in positive formal charge which isn't suited for a very electronegative atom such as chlorine.

<h3>What is a Lewis structure?</h3>

This is a type of diagram which depicts the bonding between atoms and lone pairs which are present in the molecule.

Adding two other resonance structures will also result in the poor overlap between the p-orbitals.

Consider an atom that has an electron in an excited state. The electron falls to a lower energy level. What effect does that hav
irinina [24]

On absorbing energy, an electron moves to an excited state (unstable state) from its ground state (stable state).  Since the electron is in unstable state so it tends to rearrange itself to return to its lowest energy state.  On returning to lowest energy state which is stable, it releases energy in the form of light.

Hence, option A that is the electron releases energy in the form of light on falling to lower energy state from excite state.

If you dissolve 3.5 moles of cacl2 in solution how many moles of ca2+ ions and cl- ions will there be in the solution
Wittaler [7]
Balanced chemical reaction (dissociation) : CaCl₂(aq)  → Ca²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq).
n(CaCl₂) = 3,5 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(CaCl₂) : n(Ca²⁺) = 1 : 1.
n(Ca²⁺) = 3,5 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(CaCl₂) : n(Cl⁻) = 1 : 2.
n(Cl⁻) = 2 · 3,5 mol.
n(Cl⁻) =  7 mol.
Calcium chloride is salt that completely dissociate in water on calcium cations and chlorine anions.
