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

20 cubic inches of a gas with an absolute pressure of 5 psi is compressed until its pressure reaches 10 psi. What's the new volu
belka [17]
10 cubic inches
We will use Boyle's law that states that for a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional. 
P1 V1 = P2 V2
Where
 P1 is initial pressure = 5 psi
V1 is initial volume = 20 cubic inch
P2 is final pressure = 10 psi
V2 is final volume = unknown
V2 = P1,V1 / P2
V2 = 20 × 5 / 10
V2 = 100/10
V2 = 10 cubic inches

Answer:

Your body cells use the oxygen you breathe to get energy from the food you eat. This process is called cellular respiration. During cellular respiration the cell uses oxygen to break down sugar. Breaking down sugar produces the energy your body needs.

The reaction below demonstrates which characteristic of a base?
svlad2 [7]

Answer: option D. the ability of a base to react with a soluble metal salt.


Justification:


NaOH is a strong base, which means that in water it will dissociate according to this reaction:


  • NaOH(aq) → Na⁺ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq)

On the other hand, CuSO₄ is a soluble ionic salt which in water will dissociate into its ions according to this other reaction:

  • CuSO₄(aq) → Cu²⁺ + SO₄²⁻

Hence, in solution, the sodium ion (Na⁺) will  react with the metal salt in a double replacement reaction, where the highly reactive sodium ion (Na⁺) will substitute the Cu²⁺ in the CuSO₄ to form the sodium sulfate salt, Na₂SO₄ (water soluble), and the copper(II) hydroxide, Cu(OH)₂ (insoluble).


That is what the given reaction represents:


  CuSO₄ (aq)     +     2NaOH(aq)    →    Cu(OH)₂(s)       +     Na₂SO₄(aq)

         ↑                                ↑                         ↑                            ↑

soluble metal salt       strong base       insoluble base       solube salt
