Answer:

Empirical evidence for a proposition is evidence, i.e. what supports or counters this proposition, that is constituted by or accessible to sense experience or experimental procedure. Empirical evidence is of central importance to the sciences and plays a role in various other fields, like epistemology and law

scandium47 has a half-life of 35s. suppose you have a 45g sample of scadium 47 how much of the sample remains unchanged after 14

Mars2501 [29]

The much of the sample that would remain unchanged after 140 seconds is 2.813 g

Explanation

Half life is time taken for the quantity to reduce to half its original value.

if the half life for Scandium is 35 sec, then the number of half life in 140 seconds

=140 sec/ 35 s = 4 half life

Therefore 45 g after first half life = 45 x1/2 =22.5 g

22.5 g after second half life = 22.5 x 1/2 =11.25 g

11.25 g after third half life = 11.25 x 1/2 = 5.625 g

5.625 after fourth half life = 5.625 x 1/2 = 2.813

therefore 2.813 g of Scandium 47 remains unchanged.

What is the pOH of a 0.150 M solution of potassium nitrite? (Ka HNO2 = 4.5 x 10−4 )

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

11.9 is the pOH of a 0.150 M solution of potassium nitrite.

Explanation:

Solution : Given,

Concentration (c) = 0.150 M

Acid dissociation constant = $k_a=4.5\times 10^{-4}$

The equilibrium reaction for dissociation of $HNO_2$ (weak acid) is,

$HNO_2+H_2O\rightleftharpoons NO_2^-+H_3O^+$

initially conc. c 0 0

At eqm. $c(1-\alpha)$ $c\alpha$ $c\alpha$

First we have to calculate the concentration of value of dissociation constant $(\alpha )$ .

Formula used :

$k_a=\frac{(c\alpha)(c\alpha)}{c(1-\alpha)}$

Now put all the given values in this formula ,we get the value of dissociation constant $(\alpha )$ .

$4.5\times 10^{-4}=\frac{(0.150\alpha)(0.150\alpha)}{0.150(1-\alpha)}$

$4.5\times 10^{-4} - 4.5\times 10^{-4}\alpha =0.150\alpha ^2$

$0.150\alpha ^2+4.5\times 10^{-4}\alpha-4.5\times 10^{-4}=0$

By solving the terms, we get

$\alpha=0.0533$

No we have to calculate the concentration of hydronium ion or hydrogen ion.

$[H^+]=c\alpha=0.150\times 0.0533=0.007995 M$

Now we have to calculate the pH.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

$pH=-\log (0.007995 M)$

$pH=2.097\approx 2.1$

pH + pOH = 14

pOH =14 -2.1 = 11.9

Therefore, the pOH of the solution is 11.9

How can i make babies

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer with Explanation:

Babies are formed when the sperm cell from the male testicular gonad meets with the women's egg cell (from the ovaries). This penetration causes the<em> "fertilization process." </em>This naturally occurs two weeks from the woman's last day of menstruation. The fertilization allows the egg to rapidly divide. This is followed by "implantation," a process whereby the blastocyte attaches to the woman's endometrium. <u>Around three weeks, the blastocyte is formed into an embryo. </u>This will be called fetus once the woman reaches its 8th week of pregnancy.

This is a brief process regarding your question on how babies are formed.
