Water
Water is a compound because it is made from more than one kind of element (oxygen and hydrogen).
Answer:
reactive nonmetals since they have a full valence shell (that's why they're stable).
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 ;)
We can solve the equation and show the solution below:
Oxygen atomic number is 16.
Phosphorus atomic number is 32.
We have the molecular weight:
Molecular weight = (31*4) + (16*10)
Molecular weight = 284 grams/mol
Solving for the grams:
0.4 mole (for P4) * (1 mol P4O10/1 mol P4) * (284 grams P4O10/1 mole P4O10)
Total grams = 113.6
The answer is 113.6 grams.
