Answer:

90 minutes

Explanation:

The half life of a first order reaction is;

t1/2 = ln(2) / k

To solve for t;

The integral rate expression for a first order reaction is;

ln[A] = ln[Ao] - kt

t = 60 minutes

Final Concentration = [A] = 100 - 37 = 63

Initial Concentration = [Ao] = 100

ln(63) = ln(100) - k (60)

k (60) = ln (100) - ln(63)

k = 0.4620 / 60 = 0.0077

Inserting the value of k in the half life equatin;

t1/2 = ln(2) / 0.0077 = 90 minutes

The density of copper is listed as 8.94g/cm​ 3​ . Two students each make three density determinations of samples of the substanc
amm1812

Answer:

Density of the copper = 8.94g/cm^3

Student A results = 7.3gm/cm^3 ,9.4 gm/cm^3 , 8.3gm/cm^3

Student B results = 8.4 gm/cm^3 , 8.8 gm/cm^3 , 8gm/cm^3

From the observations we conclude that

Student A's result is accurate but not  precise as the trials noted are not close to each other.

Student B's result is accurate and precise as the trials noted are close to each other.

Mean density of student A = 7.3 + 9.4 + 8.3 /3 = 8.33gm/cm^3

Mean density of student B = 8.4 + 8.8 + 8 /3 = 8.4 gm/cm^3

both the densities of A and B are 0.5 away from the actual density.

When may a scientific theory be revised
harina [27]

Answer:

A theory doesn’t change into a scientific law because of new or better evidence.

Explanation:

A theory will always remain a theory, and i law will remain a law. The reason being that theories and laws may differ on account of newfound countervailing evidence. Remember, theories and laws are very different from hypotheses.

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

3

Explanation:

Since the atom has three electrons, it has a -3 electrical charge. Since atoms are neutral, 3 protons are needed to get the charge back to 0.
