How could a synthetic material such as Acegram affect society?

Chemistry

Explanation:

Synthetic fiber or synthetic fibre (in British English; see spelling differences) are fibers made by humans through chemical synthesis, as opposed to natural fibers that are directly derived from living organisms. They are the result of extensive research by scientists to improve upon naturally occurring animal and plant fibers. In general, synthetic fibers are created by extruding fiber-forming materials through spinnerets, forming a fiber. These are called synthetic or artificial fibers. Synthetic fibers are created by a process known as polymerization, which involves combining monomers to make a long chain or polymer. The word polymer comes from a Greek prefix "poly" which means "many" and suffix "mer" which means "single units". (Note: each single unit of a polymer is called a monomer). There are two types of polymerization: linear polymerization and cross-linked polymerization.

In the reaction fecl2 + 2naoh fe(oh)2(s) + 2nacl, if 6 moles of fecl2 are added to 6 moles of naoh, how many moles of fecl2 woul
pychu [463]
The balanced chemical reaction would be 

<span>fecl2 + 2naoh =  fe(oh)2(s) + 2nacl

Initial amounts of the reactants are given, so, we need to determine which of the reactants is the limiting reactant and use this amount to determine what is asked. However, what is being asked is how many of the FeCl2 is used in the reaction, showing that it is NaOH that is the limiting reactants. Thus, we just use the initial amount of NaOH and relate the substances by the chemical reaction as follows:

6 mol NaOH ( 1 mol FeCl2 / 2 mol NaOH ) = 3 mol FeCl2

Therefore, 3 moles of FeCl2 is used up and 3 moles of FeCl2 is also left after the reaction.</span>

How do I solve the following word problem: The half-life of Phosphorus - 32 is 14.3 days. It is used to study a plant's use of f
BaLLatris [955]

Half life is the time that it takes for half of the original value of some amount of a radioactive element to decay.

We have the following equation representing the half-life decay:

A=A_o\times2^{(-\frac{t}{t_{half}})_{}_{}}

A is the resulting amount after t time

Ao is the initial amount = 50 mg

t= Elapsed time

t half is the half-life of the substance = 14.3 days

We replace the know values into the equation to have an exponential decay function for a 50mg sample

A=\text{ 50 }\times2^{\frac{-t}{14.3}}

That would be the answer for a)

To know the P-32 remaining after 84 days we have to replace this value in the equation:

\begin{gathered} A=\text{ 50 }\times2^{\frac{-84}{14.3}} \\ A=0.85\text{ mg} \end{gathered}

So, after 84 days the P-32 remaining will be 0.85 mg
