If water and hydrogen peroxide both consist of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, explain why they have different chemical and physical
lana [24]
Water and hydrogen peroxide are different compounds although they have the same kind of atoms. The molecular formula of water is H2O (two atoms of oxygen chemically bonded to one atom of oxygen). The molecular formula of hydrogen peroxide is H2O2, (each atom of oxygen is chemical bonded to one atom of H and other atom of O). So,<span> the presence of different chemical bonds leads to different products with different chemical properties.</span><span />

You have 400 kg of a radioactive substance with a short half-life of 1000 years. how much will be left after these times?
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Half-life of a radioactive substance is the time required to reduce the amount of substance to half of its initial amount. 

In present case, half-life is material is given as 1000 years and initial amount of material is given as 400 kg
 
Answer 1) Since, half-life of radio-active substance is 1000 years, therefore after 1st half life, amount of the material will be left to half the initial amount. Hence, amount of substance left after 1000 years = 400/2 = 200 kg.

Answer 2) For 2000 years, radioactive material has crossed 2 times the half life. Therefore ,  amount of the material will be left to 1/4 the initial amount. Hence, amount of substance left after 2000 years = 400/4 = 100 kg.

Answer 3) 
 For 4000 years, radioactive material has crossed 4 times the half life. Therefore , amount of the material will be left to 1/16 the initial amount. Hence, amount of substance left after 4000 years = 400/16 = 25 kg.

yan [13]

Answer:

1.

The energy lost by the water is given by:

where

m = 3.0 kg = 3000 g is the mass of water

Cs = 4.179 J/g•°C is the specific heat

is the change in temperature

Substituting,

2.

The energy added to the aluminium is given by:

where

m = 0.30 kg = 300 g is the mass of aluminium

Cs = 0.900 J/g•°C is the specific heat

is the change in temperature

Substituting,

4. 42.9 g

The mass of the water sample is given by

where

is the heat added

is the temperature change

Cs = 4.179 J/g•°C is the specific heat

5. 115.5 J

The heat used to heat the copper is given by:

where

m = 5.0 g is the mass of copper

Cs = 0.385 J/g•°C is the specific heat

is the change in temperature

6. 0.185 J/g•°C

The specific heat of iron is given by:

where

Q = -47 J is the heat released by the iron

m = 10.0 g is the mass of iron

is the change in temperature

Substituting,

Substituting,

Substituting,

We say that salts will dissociate but acids will react with water. We say that acids will
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

ionize

Explanation:

Acids are chemical substances that lose/donate their hydrogen ion (H+) when they react with water. This property of acids is termed IONIZATION. In a chemical reaction involving acids and bases, acids release their proton or hydrogen ion (H+) in the presence of water solutions to form a conjugate base, which is usually an anion.

For example, in the chemical reaction;

HX + H20 -------> X- + H30+

HX is the acid because it loses its electron to water and forms the anion, X-, which is the conjugate base. Hence, it can be said that acid HX ionizes in water.
