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

Just wanted to help. Hopefully it's correct wouldn't want to waster your time ;)

Given that hclo4 is a strong acid, how would you classify the basicity of clo−4?
Mandarinka [93]
As a conjugate base of a strong acid,ClO4-would be classified as having a negligible basicity. The basicity of a chemical species is normally expressed by the acidity of the conjugate acid. The basicity of an acid is the number of hydrogen ions, which can be produced by one molecule of the acid.
