1. Observation-- making observations and taking notes about what you see, smell, hear, think, etc.
2. Question-- developing a question to test your observations.
3. Hypothesis-- creating an educated guess as to the answer of your question.
Answer:
11552.45 years
Explanation:
Given that:
Half life = 5730 years
Where, k is rate constant
So,
The rate constant, k = 0.00012 years⁻¹
Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:
![[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA_t%5D%3D%5BA_0%5De%5E%7B-kt%7D)
Where,
![[A_t]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA_t%5D)
is the concentration at time t
![[A_0]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA_0%5D)
is the initial concentration
Given that:
The rate constant, k = 0.00012 years⁻¹
Initial concentration = 160.0 counts/min
Final concentration = 40.0 counts/min
Time = ?
Applying in the above equation, we get that:-
Answer:
Water (H2O) is polar due to the bent shape of the molecule. The shape means most of the negative charge from the oxygen is one one side of the molecule and the positive charge of the hydrogen atoms is on the other side of the molecule. This is an example of polar covalent chemical bonding.
Hope this helps!
What do you mean by that? Can you explain further?
