Answer:

The correct answer is - B. It measures the tendency of a radioisotope to decay radioactively.

Explanation:

The half-life of the radioactive sample is the time it takes to decay to its half amount of the unstable nuclei of its initial amount. It is radioactively decays to its half value or in simple words, it takes the time to decay an unstable nuclei to decay to its half value.

It can take milliseconds to million years to disintegrate the different unstable nuclei of a radioactive substance to disintegrate its half amount to a stable substance.

What is the mole ratio of D to A in the generic chemical reaction 3A + B C + 4D

ehidna [41]

Answer:- Mole ratio of D to A is 4:3.

Explanations:- Mole ratio for a chemical reaction is the ratio of the coefficients.

The given generic chemical reaction is:

$3A+B\rightarrow C+4D$

The numbers written in front of each chemical species in the chemical reaction are their moles. For the given generic chemical reaction the coefficient of A is 3 and that of B is 1. So, the mole ratio of A to B is 3:1.

Similarly if we want to write the mole ratio of C to D then it is 1:4.

We are asked to write the mole ratio of D to A. So, like the other ratios, the mole ratio of D to A is 4:3 as the coefficient of D is 4 and A is 3.

12. If a solution has a pH of 3, what would the pOH value of that solution be? *

butalik [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is pOH= 11

Explanation:

From the aqueous acid-base equilibrium we know that

pH + pOH = 14

If we know pH, we can calculate pOH as follows:

pOH = 14 - pH

In this problem, the solution has a pH of 3, so:
