Answer:

8 minutes

Explanation:

G(g)                 T(min)

100 --------------- 0

50-------------------2

25 -------------------4

12.5  ---------------  6

6.25 ----------------8

     another    way:

100/6.25 = 16

  16 = 2⁴       ( 4 half lives)    

Each half life is 2 minutes

so 4 half lives will be 8 minutes

Can the pH scale be utilized for all acids (Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowery, and Lewis)? Give examples of substances from each defini
GuDViN [60]

Explanation:

Before proceeding to answering the questions, let us go over some definitions.

pH scale: The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic.

pH stands for Potential of Hydrogen. It refers to the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution.

The keywords being; Hydrogen Ion concentration.

A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a chemical species that donates one or more hydrogen ions in a reaction.

A Lewis acid is  any substance that can accept a pair of nonbonding electrons. It is an electron pair acceptor.

An Arrhenius acid is a substance that dissociates in water to form hydrogen ions or protons.

Based on the definitions of given above, it is obseved that both Bronsted lowry and arrhenius acids deals with hydrogen ions. Hence both of this acids can be measured using the pH scale. The  lewis acid on the other hand do not necessarily contain hydrogen ions, hence the pH scale cannot be utilized for it.

Examples includes;

Arrhenius acid; Nitric Acid – HNO3 etc

Lewis acid; boron trifluoride (BF3) and aluminum fluoride (AlF3) etc

Bronsted lowry acid; HCl etc

The fluoride rinse in dental offices usually contains sodium fluoride. Sodium fluoride can be prepared from the reaction between
Bad White [126]

The chemical reaction in which number of atoms of each element present in the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms of that element in product side, such reactions are said to be a balanced chemical reaction.

The chemical symbol for sodium is Na.

The chemical symbol for fluorine gas is F_2.

The chemical symbol for sodium fluoride is NaF

The sodium fluoride is prepared from the reaction between sodium metal and fluorine gas can be written as:

Na (s)+F_2(g) \rightarrow NaF(s)

The above reaction is not balanced as the number of fluorine atoms are not same on reactant and product side. So, in order to balance the reaction we will multiply Na with 2 on reactant side and NaF with 2 on product side. Thus, the balanced reaction will be:

2Na (s)+F_2 (g)\rightarrow 2NaF(s)

Thus, the balanced chemical equation is 2Na (s)+F_2 (g)\rightarrow 2NaF(s).
