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

Rank the compounds in each set in order of increasing acid strength.
Viktor [21]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

For this question, we have to remember the effect of an atom with high <u>electronegativity</u> as "Br". If the "Br" atom is closer to the carboxylic acid group (COOH) we will have an <u>inductive effect</u>. Due to the electronegativity of Br, the electrons of the C-H bond would be to the Br, then this bond would be <u>weaker</u> and the compound will be more acid (because is easier to produce the hydronium ion H^+).

With this in mind, for A in the last compound, we have <u>2 Br atoms</u> near to the acid carboxylic group, so, we will have a high inductive effect, then the C-H would be weaker and we will have <u>more acidity</u>. Then we will have the compound with only 1 Br atom and finally, the last compound would be the one without Br atoms.

In B, the difference between the molecules is the <u>position</u> of the "Br" atom in the molecule. If the Br atom is closer to the acid group we will have a <u>higher inductive effect</u> and more <u>acidity</u>.

See figure 1

How can you compare the DNA in your brain cells to the DNA in your heart cells ?
alekssr [168]
The DNA is identical because all of your cells came from that one cell through mitosis which gives and exact copy of the DNA. All body cells got the complete "instruction manual" for the body, but only uses the proteins needed.

How many moles of cesium xenon heptafloride can be produced from the reaction 12 mol cesium Floride with 14 mol xenon hexaflorid
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

12 moles of cesium xenon heptafluoride

Explanation:

The reaction of cesium fluoride with xenon hexafluoride is CeF + XeF6 -> CeXeF7 and the reaction is balanced as written. So the mole ratio is 1:1:1. We are given 12 moles of CeF and 14 moles of XeF6 are reacting, but after the 12 moles of CeF react completely, the reaction will stop as we have run out of one of our reactants. So only 12 moles of CeXeF7 will be produced.

A group of electrons is treated as a point charge of -1.12 x 10-18 C. How many electrons make up this point charge? Remember tha
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

7

Explanation:

Given that the total charge is given by;

C =nq

Where;

n = number of charges

q = quantity of charge

Where the total amount of charge is  -1.12 x 10-18 C and the magnitude of each charge is  -1.602 x 10-19 C

Then the number of electrons is obtained from;

n =  -1.12 x 10-18 C/ -1.602 x 10-19 C

n = 7
