The fraction of the original amount remaining is closest to 1/128

<h3>Determination of the number of half-lives</h3>
  • Half-life (t½) = 4 days
  • Time (t) = 4 weeks = 4 × 7 = 28 days
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 28 / 4

n = 7

<h3>How to determine the amount remaining </h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 100 g
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 7
  • Amount remaining (N)=?

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

N = 100 / 2⁷

N = 0.78125 g

<h3>How to determine the fraction remaining </h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 100 g
  • Amount remaining (N)= 0.78125 g
  • Fraction remaining =?

Fraction remaining = N / N₀

Fraction remaining = 0.78125 / 100

Fraction remaining = 1/128

What percentage of the total incoming radiation to the Earth reaches the ground? 20 30 40 70
weeeeeb [17]

Answer: 22.5 percent of incoming solar radiation goes directly to the surface of the Earth and is absorbed.

Explanation: Transfer of radiation through a planet's atmosphere. A planet and its atmosphere, in our solar system, can radiate back to space only as much energy as it absorbs from incoming solar radiation.

) Calculating Heat from Thermochemical Equations
SIZIF [17.4K]

A combustion reaction is a reaction that reacts in the presence of oxygen molecules. Methane will release -3115 kJ/mol of heat.

<h3>What is a combustion reaction?</h3>

A combustion reaction includes the reaction between the chemical reactant and oxygen molecule to produce the product. The combustion reaction between methane and oxygen is given as:

CH₄(g) + 2O₂ (g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O (l), ΔH = -890 kJ/mol

The stoichiometry coefficient from the reaction gives 1 mole of methane releases -890 kJ/mol enthalpy.

So, 3.5 moles methane will release = 3.5 × -890 = -3115 kJ/mol

Therefore, -3115 kJ/mol of heat is released.
