Answer:
It is used as a catalyst.
Explanation:
The more reactive element replaces less reactive element during chemical reaction.
Since, potassium is more reactive than beryllium. When potassium reacts with beryllium choride, it replaces beryllium and forms potassium chloride and produces beryllium.
Answer: Hmmmmm that's crazy....
There are a couple of equations one could use for this type of problem, but I find the following to be the easiest to use and to understand.
Fraction remaining (FR) = 0.5n
n = number of half lives that have elapsed
In this problem, we need to find n and are given the FR, which is 1.56% or 0.0156 (as a fraction).
0.0156 = 0.5n
log 0.0156 = n log 0.5
-1.81 = -0.301 n
n = 6.0 half lives have elapsed
Explanation:
Just wanted to help. Hopefully it's correct wouldn't want to waster your time ;)
Huh. Is this supposed to be biology?
