Answer:

6.2 days

Explanation:

initial activity = 40,000 cpm

one half-life = 20,000 cpm

two half-lives = 10,000 cpm

three half-lives= 5,000 cpm

four half-lives = 2500 cpm

24.8 days/4 half-lives = 6.2 days/ half-life

The device shows the relative humidity at 22°
sergeinik [125]
The relative humidity shows us saturation of water in air. Since it is 58% and not 100% we have to scale density that we were given when humidity is 100%.

At 100% humidity, density is 20grams/cubic meter

at 58% it will be:
0.58 * 20 = 11.6 g/m^3

Since the question is to find density, the answer cannot be in %.

Answer is 11.6 g/m^3

What is the pH of a solution of 1 x 10-5 M NaOH? Is the solution acidic or basic?
Anna007 [38]

Answer: to calculate pH use -log[H+] or - log[OH-]..the solution is basic as the “NaOH” is attached to a hydroxide.Since we need to find the pH (per hydrogen) and not the pOH( per hydroxide) we need to find the pOH of the substance first then we subtract that by 14 so we can arrive at the pH of the substance.

Explanation: So -log( 1 x 10^(-5)) = 5 which is the pOH.Now we subtract that by 14 which gives us -9 and now you’d multiply that by -1 bcuz we can’t have a negative so the pH of the substance is 9
