Answer:

1 g

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Original amount (N₀) = 32 g

Time (t) = 71.5 days

Half-life of phosphorus (t½) = 14.3 days

Amount remaining (N) =?

Next, we shall determine the rate of disintegration. This can be obtained as follow:

Half-life of phosphorus (t½) = 14.3 days

Decay constant (K) =?

K = 0.693 / t½

K = 0.693 / 14.3

K = 0.0485 /day

Finally, we shall determine the amount remaining as illustrated below:

Original amount (N₀) = 32 g

Time (t) = 71.5 days

Decay constant (K) = 0.0485 /day

Amount remaining (N) =?

Log (N₀/N) = Kt/2.303

Log (32/N) = 0.0485 × 71.5 / 2.303

Log (32/N) = 3.46775 / 2.303

Log (32/N) = 1.5058

Take the antilog of 1.5058

32/N = antilog (1.5058)

32/N = 32.05

Cross multiply

32 = N × 32.05

Divide both side by 32.05

N = 32 / 32.05

N = 0.998 ≈ 1 g

Thus, the amount remaining after 71.5 days is approximately 1 g.

Write the name of the alkyne next to the drawing of the molecule. (2 points)

azamat

1) 1-Pentyne

2) But-2-yne

3) Ethyne

4) 1-Propyne

5) 1-Butyne

6) Pent-2-yne

<h3>What is alkyne?</h3>

Molecules that contain a triple bond between two carbon atoms are known as alkynes.

1) The number of carbon on the longest chain = 5, (two carbon atoms between the triple bond) therefore the prefix is pen-

The functional group is the triple bond on the first carbon with the suffix -yne

The name of the compound is 1-Pentyne

2) There are 4 carbon atoms on the longest chain, therefore, the prefix is but-

The location of the triple bond functional group (suffix; -yne) is on the second carbon atom

Therefore, the name of the compound is But-2-yne

3) The triple bond functional group is between the only two carbon atoms, therefore, the name is Ethyne

4) The number of carbon atoms = 3, with a prefix prop-, and the functional group on the first carbon atom on the longest chain is the triple bond, with suffix -yne

Therefore, the name of the compound is 1-Propyne

5) The number of carbon atoms on the longest chain = 4, the prefix is but-

The location of the triple bond functional group (suffix -yne) is on the first carbon atom

Therefore, the name is 1-Butyne

6) The number of carbon atoms on the longest chain = 5, the prefix of the compound is pen-

The location of the triple bond functional group (suffix; -yne) is on the second carbon atom, therefore;

The name of the compound is Pent-2-yne

When one atom losses an electron and another atom simultaneously gains one, what has taken place is called _____.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Ionic bond

Explanation:

Ionic bonding:-

This type of bonding is formed when there is a complete transfer of electrons from one element to another element. In this bonding one element is always a metal and another is a non-metal.

Thus, the atom which loses the electron which is gained by the another, there is a electrostatic attraction between two which which results in the formation of ionic bond.

For example:-

Calcium is the element of second group and forth period. The electronic configuration of Calcium is - 2, 8, 8, 2 or $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2$

There are 2 valence electrons of Calcium.

Sulfur is the element of sixteenth group and third period. The electronic configuration of sulfur is - 2, 8, 6 or $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4$

There are 6 valence electrons of sulfur.

Thus, calcium loses two electrons to sulfur and sulfur accepts these electrons to form ionic bond.

Calcium sulfide, $CaS$ is formed when 2 valence electrons of calcium are loosed and they are gained by sulfur atom.

Five pulses are generated every 0.112 s in a tank of water. What is the speed of propagation of the wave if the wavelength of th

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The wave speed is 53.57 cm/s

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is the distance covered by the wave per unit time.

Wave speed is given by

v = f×λ

where v = The velocity of the wave

f = The wave frequency

λ = The wavelength of the wave

the speed v of the wave can also be expressed interms of the period as

v = λ/T

The freuency of the given wave is f = 5/(0.112 s) = 44.64 Hz and the wavelength is λ = 1.20 cm

Therefore the speed of the wave = 44.64 Hz × 1.20 cm = 53.57 cm/s

Match each description below:

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

a) will react with water: K

b) will react with steam or acid, but not water: Cr & Sn

d) will not react with water, steam, or acid: Cu

Explanation:

K reacts violently with water.

Cr will react with steam to form an oxide + H gas and will react with most acids

Sn will react with steam to form SnO₂ + H gas and, though it does not react as rapidly as other metals in acid, it dissolves easily in concentrated acids

Cu is an extremely nonreactive metal, which is what makes it so suitable for wiring
