Answer:
The reaction is a double displacement reaction
Explanation:
Let us consider the reaction equation of the reaction between ammonium oxalate and lithium acetate.
(NH4)2C2O4(aq) +2 CH3COOLi(aq) -------> 2NH4CH3CO2(aq) + Li2C2O4(s)
This is a displacement reaction. A double displacement reaction is a type of reaction in which two reactants exchange their ions to form two new compounds. Double displacement reactions usually lead to the formation of a solid product which is also called a precipitate.
The general form of a Double displacement reaction is of the format:
AB + CD → AD + CB
Where A,B,C and D represents different ions respectively.
A double displacement reaction can also be referred to as salt metathesis reaction, double replacement reaction, exchange reaction, or a double decomposition reaction, although the latter term is more strictly used when one or more of the reactants does not dissolve in the solvent.
A coordination number can be determined by the usage of an atom towards a molecule from seeing how many numbers of atoms would have to be combined together in an atom.
Answer:
10.8 days (3 sig.figs.)
Explanation:
All radioactive decay is 1st order decay defined by the expression A = A₀e^-kt
which is solved for time of decay (t) => t = ln(A/A₀) / -k
A = final weight = 1.0 gram
A₀ = initial weight = 16.0 grams
k = rate constant = 0.693/t(1/2) = 0.693/2.69 days = 0.258 days⁻¹
t = ln(1/16) / -0.258da⁻¹ = (-2.77/-0.258) days = 10.74646792 days (calculator)
≅ 10 days (1 sig. fig. based on given 1 gram mass)
