Answer:

Half life = 7.2 seconds

Explanation:

from \: decay \: equation \\ 2.303 log( \frac{n.}{nt} )  = kt \\ 2.303 log( \frac{50}{12.5} )  = k \times 14.4 \\ k =  \frac{2.303 log( \frac{50}{12.5} )}{14.4}  \\ k = 0.096288 {s}^{ - 1}  \\ since \: half \: life =  \frac{ ln(2) }{k}  \\ half \: life  =   \frac{ ln(2) }{0.096288}  \\ half \: life = 7.2 \: seconds

14.2 because basically you just divide it by 2 which would be half of it

That will work with all of those problems

So if it’s is a quarter of an isotope you’d divide by 4

What happens when you mix acid and base?
kap26 [50]
Acids are chemicals with a pH less than 7 that can donate a proton or H+ ion in a reaction. Bases have a pH greater than 7 and can accept a proton or produce an OH- ion in a reaction. If you mix equal amounts of a strong acid and a strong base, the two chemicals essentially cancel each other out and produce a salt and water. Mixing equal amounts of a strong acid with a strong base also produces a neutral pH (pH = 7) solution. This is called a neauturization and looks like 
HA + BOH → BA + H2O + heat

Use the drop-down menus to identify each substance as an organic or inorganic compound
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

ozone (O3): inorganic

methane (CH4): organic

aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3): inorganic

butane (C4H10): organic

carbon monoxide (CO): inorganic

Explanation:

An inorganic compound is typically a chemical compound that lacks carbon–hydrogen bonds, that is, a compound that is not an organic compound. Some simple compounds that contain carbon are often considered inorganic. Examples of inorganic compounds include carbon monoxide , carbon dioxide , carbonates, carbides , cyanides, cyanates, and thiocyanates. Most of these compounds are normal parts of mostly organic systems, including living organisms. When a chemical substance is classified as inorganic, it does not necessarily mean that it does not occur within

living things.

Organic compounds typically contain the carbon-hydrogen bonds. The carbon atoms often catenate and most organic substances occur in living systems and are products of biochemical reactions in living organisms. However, organic substances can also be synthetic and can be prepared in the laboratory.
