Answer:

THE HALF LIFE OF PHOSPHORUS-32 ISOTOPE IS 14 DAYS.

Explanation:

Using the Nerst equation of half life;

t1/2 = t * in(2) / in (No/Nt)

where;

t1/2 = half life = the unknown

t = elapsed time = 56 days

No= initial mass of the sample = 4.0 g

Nt = final mass of the sample = 0.25 g

Substituting the values into the equation, we have;

t \frac{1}{2} = 56 * \frac{LN2}(LN 4/ 0.25) \\t1/2 = 56 * Ln2  / Ln ( 4/0.25)

t1/2 = 56 * 0.6932 / Ln (16)      

t1/2 = 56 * 0.6932 / 2.7726      

t1/2 = 38.8192 / 2.7726

t1/2 = 14.001 days.

t1/2 = 14 days.

The half life of the phosphorus- 32 would be 14 days

<span>C7H8 First, lookup the atomic weight of all involved elements Atomic weight of carbon = 12.0107 Atomic weight of hydrogen = 1.00794 Atomic weight of oxygen = 15.999 Then calculate the molar masses of CO2 and H2O Molar mass CO2 = 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087 g/mol Molar mass H2O = 2 * 1.00794 + 15.999 = 18.01488 g/mol Now calculate the number of moles of each product obtained Note: Not interested in the absolute number of moles, just the relative ratios. So not going to get pedantic about the masses involved being mg and converting them to grams. As long as I'm using the same magnitude units in the same places for the calculations, I'm OK. moles CO2 = 3.52 / 44.0087 = 0.079984 moles H2O = 0.822 / 18.01488 = 0.045629 Since each CO2 molecule has 1 carbon atom, I can use the same number for the relative moles of carbon. However, since each H2O molecule has 2 hydrogen atoms, I need to double that number to get the relative number of moles for hydrogen. moles C = 0.079984 moles H = 0.045629 * 2 = 0.091258 So we have a ratio of 0.079984 : 0.091258 for carbon and hydrogen. We need to convert that to a ratio of small integers. First divide both numbers by 0.079984 (selected since it's the smallest), getting 1: 1.140953 The 1 for carbon looks good. But the 1.140953 for hydrogen isn't close to an integer. So let's multiply the ratio by 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., etc and see what each new ratio looks like (Effectively seeing what 1, 2, 3, 4, etc carbons look like) 1 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 1 : 1.140953 2 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 2 : 2.281906 3 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 3 : 3.422859 4 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 4 : 4.563812 5 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 5 : 5.704765 6 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 6 : 6.845718 7 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 7 : 7.986671 8 ( 1 : 1.140953) = 8 : 9.127624 That 7.986671 in row 7 looks extremely close to 8. I doubt I'd get much closer unless I go to extremely high integers. So it looks like the empirical formula for toluene is C7H8</span>

Chemical bonds are likely to form when_____
Viefleur [7K]

Answer: When the electrons in an element are more than the required, a bond is formed with other element which has deficiency of electron and in case when electrons are less in numbers the vice versa happens. Such kind of chemical bonds are known as ionic bond.
