Answer:

3 hours

Explanation:

To know the the correct answer to the question given above, it is important we know the definition of half-life.

The half-life of a substance is simply defined as the time taken for half the substance to decay.

Considering the diagram given above, the initial mass of the substance is 100 g.

Half of the initial mass = 100 / 2 = 50 g

Now, we shall determine the time from the graph taken to get to 50 g.

Considering the diagram given above, the time taken to get to 50 g is 3 hours.

Therefore, the half-life of the material is 3 hours.

Sliva [168]

Answer:

d. Hydrophobic molecules are attracted to each other.

Explanation:

The term “hydrophobic effect” is associated with the spontaneous tendency of macromolecules, such as proteins, to prefer a conformation in an aqueous medium, with hydrophobic groups facing the interior of the mac romolecule, favoring attractive intramolecular interactions, and hydrophilic groups exposed on the surface, for maximize interactions with water molecules in the medium. This is because the hydrophobic molecules are attracted to each other, allowing them to turn inward.

Two liquids – one polar, one nonpolar – have the same molar mass. which one has the higher boiling point?

Anton [14]

Polar will always have the higher boiling point because they have strong van der waal forces

Un globo lleno de helio tenia un volumen de 8.5 L en el suelo a 20°C y a una presión de 750 torr. Cuando se le soltó, el globo s

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

El volumen del gas era 12.95 L

Explanation:

Se relaciona la presión y el volumen mediante la ley de Boyle, que dice:

“El volumen ocupado por una determinada masa gaseosa a temperatura constante, es inversamente proporcional a la presión”

La ley de Boyle se expresa matemáticamente como: P*V=k

Por otro lado, la Ley de Charles consiste en la relación que existe entre el volumen y la temperatura absoluta de una cierta cantidad de gas ideal, el cual se mantiene a una presión constante. Esta ley dice que cuando la cantidad de gas y de presión se mantienen constantes, el cociente que existe entre el volumen y la temperatura siempre tendrán el mismo valor:

$\frac{V}{T}=k$

Por último, la Ley de Gay Lussac dice que la temperatura absoluta y la presión son directamente proporcionales. Es decir, cuando se mantiene todo lo demás constante, mientras suba la temperatura de un gas subirá también su presión. Y mientras la temperatura del gas baje, lo mismo ocurrirá con la presión:

$\frac{P}{T}=k$
