What is a half-life?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Travka [436]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

An interesting and useful aspect of radioactive decay is half-life, which is the amount of time it takes for one-half of a radioactive isotope to decay. The half-life of a specific radioactive isotope is constant; it is unaffected by coTnditions and is independent of the initial amount of that isotope.

Hno3, a strong acid, is added to shift the ag2co3 equilibrium (equation 7.6) to the right. explain why the shift occurs.
Deffense [45]
Answer 1)  When a strong acid like HNO_{3} reacts with Ag_{2} CO_{3} usually the equilibrium shifts to the right because

As per the Le chatelier's principle "if in any reaction, a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the any of the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change."  So, in the given reaction when HNO_{3} reacts with Ag_{2} CO_{3}  it generates carbon dioxide and water as a by product, if we are adding HNO_{3} it will remove some of the CO_{3} molecule from the reaction mixture, which then tends to shift the equilibrium towards right.

Answer 2) The same would be observed in this case, if we replace HNO_{3} with HCl it will shift the equilibrium to the right as their will be generation of AgCl as the precipitate.

As per the definition of Le Chatelier's principle if we add reactants in the reaction the equilibrium will tend to move towards right, also if we replace the products or remove it then too it will shift the equilibrium towards right. So, in this reaction you are removing Ag^{+} and Cl^{-} ions from the solution.

1. The answer is option E, that is None of the above is correct.

As a polymer becomes more crystalline,

its melting point doesn't decreases, its density doesn't decreases, its stiffness doesn't decreases and its yield stress doesn't decreases.

2. The answer is option B, that is the molecules are arranged in sheets, with their long axes parallel and their ends aligned as well.

In the smectic A liquid-crystalline phase, molecules are arranged in sheets, with their long axes parallel and their ends aligned as well.

3.  For a substitutional alloy to form, the two metals combined must have similar atomic radii and chemical bonding properties.
