Answer: 375 g

Explanation:

Formula used :

a=\frac{a_o}{2^n}

where,

a = amount of reactant left after n-half lives = ?

a_o = Initial amount of the reactant = 100 g

n = number of half lives = 4

Putting values in above equation, we get:

a=\frac{6000}{2^4}

a=375g

Therefore, the amount of carbon-14 remains at the end of four half-lives is 375 g

What is the molarity of a strong acid solution with a pH of 3?
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Since HCl is a strong acid, it completely ionizes, and the pH of HCl in solution can be found from the concentration (molarity) of the H+ ions, by definition equal to 0.100 M. (The conjugate base of the acid, which is the chloride ion Cl–, would also have a concentration of 0.100 M.) The pH is thus –log(0.100) = 1.000.

Two examples of energy transformations are shown.
erastova [34]

The energy transformations are similar because they result into radiant energy.

As for the lamp, Electrical energy is transformed into light when the filament

or mercury vapor glows on passage of current.

The fire- chemical energy is turned to light energy during the combustion of carbon.  Both products comprise of ultraviolet radiation which is a form of radiant energy.

A doorknob makes it easier for you to open doors because it is what type of simple machine?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: Wheel and Axle

Both of these work together to form a simple machine. You can't have one without the other.

If you try to turn just the axle itself, then you'll find it takes a lot of work. This is because the inertia of the axle wants to keep the object at rest. Also, you won't have a lot of torque due to the small radius compared to what a doorknob can offer.

Using a doorknob is like putting a (steering) wheel on an axle. This increases the radius and therefore increases the torque. You put in less work into the system and get more out of it.

Answer:

2. The metal would lose one electrons and the non metal would gain one electrons

Explanation:

An atom of a certain element reacts with the atoms of other elements in order to fullfill its outermost shell (called valence shell).

We notice the following:

- The elements in Group 1 (which are metals) have only 1 electron in their valence shell

- The elements in Group 17 (which are non-metals) have 1 vacancy (lack of electron) in their valence shell

This means that in order for both an atom of group 1 and an atom of group 17 to fullfill the valence shell, they have to:

- The atom in group 1 has to give away its only electron of the valence shell

- The atom in group 17 has to gain one electron in order to fullfill the shell

Therefore, the correct option is

2. The metal would lose one electrons and the non metal would gain one electrons
