Answer:
Explanation:
The half-life of K-40 (1.3 billion years) is the time it takes for half of it to decay.
After one half-life, half (50 %) of the original amount will remain.
After a second half-life, half of that amount (25 %) will remain, and so on.
We can construct a table as follows:
No. of Fraction
<u>half-lives</u> <u> t/yr </u> <u>Remaining</u>
0 0 1
1 1.3 billion ½
2 2.6 ¼
3 3.9 ⅛
We see that after 2 half-lives, ¼ of the original mass remains.
Conversely, if two half-lives have passed, the original mass must have been four times the mass we have now.
Original mass = 4 × 2.10 g =
Answer:
10
Explanation:
pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions.
Thus,
pH = - log [H⁺]
Thus, from the formula, more the concentration of the hydrogen ions or more the acidic the solution is, the less is the pH value of the solution.
Thus, solution with pH = 3 will be more acidic than solution with pH =4
Thus, concentration of the [H⁺] when pH =3
3 = - log [H⁺]
[H⁺] = 10⁻³ M
For pH = 4, [H⁺] = 10⁻⁴ M
<u>hence, pH = 3 is 10 times more acidic than pH = 4</u>
In a 0.01 M solution of HCl, Litmus will be red. Litmus paper will turn into red in acidic conditions. Hydrochloric acid is an acid. Litmus is an indicator for acidity and alkalinity made from inchens.
We first calculate for the number of moles of NaOH by dividing the given mass by the molar mass of NaOH which is equal to 40 g/mol. Solving,
moles of NaOH = (68.4 g/ 40 g/mol) = 1.71 moles NaOH
Then, we divide the calculate number of moles by the volume in liters.
molarity = (1.71 moles NaOH / 0.875 L solution)
molarity = 1.95 M
Answer:
D. Intramolecular covalent bond
Explanation:
Compound D is structurally more rigid as a result of intramolecular covalent bonding. The forces that hold together atoms within a compound are greater as compared to forces holding two molecules together (intermolecular bonding). On the other hand Hydrogen bonds are weaker as compared to covalent bonds. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between two atoms and Hydrogen bonds are formed between a highly electronegative atom like oxygen, Flourine,Chlorine to hydrogen.
