Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Half-life = 8.08days

Unknown:

What fraction is left unchanged after 16.16days = ?

Solution:

The half - life of a substance is the time taken for the half of a radioactive material to decay to half.

Day 0 Day 8.08 Day 16.16

100% 50% 0% Parent

0% 50% 100% Daughter

After 16.16 days, non of the original sample will remain unchanged.

Give the spectator ions for the reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of H 2SO 4 and KOH are mixed.

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

The spectator ions is: $K^+$ and $SO^{2-}_4$

Explanation:

The equation of reaction between H₂ SO₄ and KOH is:

$H_2SO_{4(aq)} + 2KOH _{aq} \to K_2SO_{4(aq)} +2H_2O _{(l)}$

Rewriting this equation as ionic;

$[2H^{+} + SO^{2-}_4 + 2K^+ +2OH^- \to 2K^+ SO_4^{2-} + 2H_2O ]$

Spectators ions are ions present on both sides of the ionic equation by the same quantity but do not take part in the net reaction.

What does vinegar do to eggs

andre [41]

Eggshells are made primarily of calcium carbonate. The acid in vinegar softens the calcium of the eggshell. Adding a little vinegar to the water when boiling eggs is an old cook’s trick that makes them easier to peel.
