The general equation for radioactive decay is;
N = N₀e^(-λt)
x - decay constant (λ) - rate of decay
t- time
N - amount remaining after t days , since we are calculating the half life, amount of time it takes for the substance to to be half its original value, its N₀/2
N₀ - amount initially present
substituting the values
N₀/2 = N₀e^(-0.081t)
0.5 = e^(-0.081t)
ln (0.5) = -0.081t
-0.693 = -0.081t
t = 0.693 / 0.081
= 8.55
half life of substance is 8.55 days
The CH4 molecule has the lowest molecular weight, so it has the lowest boiling point.
Hope I helped :)
Answer: X is a Solid; Y is a Gas
Explanation:
There are three (3) states of matter. They are: Solid, Liquid and Gases.
Substance X and Y, belong to the states of matter.
A Solid is a substance that retains its SIZE and SHAPE without need of a container (as opposed to a liquid or gas).
Thus, it will most likely be concluded that: substance X is a Solid; while Y is a Gas
Molality is the number of moles of solutes in 1 kg of solvent.
the molality of solution to be prepared is 2.0 molal.
therefore 2 moles in 1 kg water.
the mass of Li₂S required is - 46 g/mol x 2.0 mol = 92 g
the mass in 1 kg of solvent is - 92 g
Therefore mass of Li₂S required in 1600.0 g is - 92 g/kg x 1.6 kg = 147.2 g
