<h3>Answer:</h3>

22.06 Hours

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Half life is the time it takes for a radioactive material or isotope to decay by half of its initial amount.

We are given;

Radioactive isotope Iodine-133

Initial counts per minute = 3150 counts

Counts after decay = 3055 per minute

Time taken = 1 hour

But, we know that to calculate the remaining amount of the radioactive isotope, then,

Remaining amount = Initial amount × 0.5^n , where n is the number of half-lives.

Therefore;

3055 counts = 3150 × 0.5^n

0.5^n = 0.9698

To get n

n = log 1 ÷ log 0.9698

 = 0.044

But, n is given by dividing time and the number of half lifes

Therefore, half life = time ÷ Number of half lives

                              = 1 hour ÷ 0.044

                              = 22.60 hours

Therefore, the half life of iodine-133 is 22.60 hours

A cough syrup contains 5.0% ethyl alcohol, c2h5oh, by mass. if the density of the solution is 0.9928 g/ml, determine the molarit
WARRIOR [948]
To answer the question above, let us a basis of the 1000 mL or 1 L. 
                 volume = (0.9928 g/mL)(1000mL) = 992.8 g
Then, determine the mass of the alcohol by multiplying the total mass by the decimal equivalent of 5%. 
               mass of alcohol = 0.05(992.8 g) = 49.64 g
Then, determine the number of moles of ethyl alcohol by dividing the mass of alcohol by the molar mass (46 g/mol). 
                       n = 49.64 g/ (46 g/mol) = 1.08 mol
Then, divide the number of moles by the volume (our basis is 1 L)
                       molarity = 1.08 mol/ 1 L = 1.08 M

Of the molecules below, the bond in ________ is the most polar. of the molecules below, the bond in ________ is the most polar.
Goryan [66]
Polarity   is  classified by  the  difference  in  two  or  more  atoms that  is  the electronegativity  value (EN)
En  for  Fluorine =4.0,  Bromine=2.96 Chlorine =3.16  Hydrogen=2.1
for  the molecules
HF=4.0-2.I=1.9
HCl=3.16-2.1=1.06
Hbr=2.96-2.1=0.86
Hi=2.66-2.1=0.56
H2=2.1-2.1=0
from  the  EN  value above  HF  has  the  mast  highest  value  of  EN  hence  it  is  the  most  polar.

Democritus was the first to propose the idea of the atom. He said the atom was just this tiny, solid sphere. However, he used no scientific evidence to support his claim, so a guy named John Dalton did some experimenting and basically backed up Democritus' claim with evidence. Then, a guy named J.J. Thompson came along and said the atom was not solid and that is consisted of tiny negatively charged particles(electrons) and he came up with the Plum Pudding model which is just a tiny sphere with a punch of random scattered dots in it. After that, Ernest Rutherford did experiments and found that the tiny sphere is made up of mostly empty space with a tiny, dense, positively charged sphere inside of it, and the negatively charged particles just randomly float around it. Neils Bohr then said that the electrons take specific, circular, evenly spaced paths. Then, finally, we come to the Quantum Mechanical Model which is the one accepted today. This model basically vetos Bohr's idea and has a nucleus inside of an electron cloud, which is where the electrons are found.
