Fluorine-21 has a half life of approximately 12 seconds. What fraction of the original nuclei would remain after 1 minute?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer would be = 1/32.

Explanation:

The half-life is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of the initial value of an object or element.

it is given that Fluorine-21 has a half-life time = 12 seconds

then in a minute the number of half-lives,

12 seconds = 12/60 of a minute or 1/5 of a minute

This means in 1 minute we will half the sample 5 times.

(1/2)^5 = 1/32 is the fractional remainder

Thus, the correct answer would be 1/32.

Explanation:

The question basically asks at which condition would the forward reaction be favoured.

The law of equilibrium states when a system at equilibrium is disturbed by, it would annul that change. In order to increase the forward reaction, more of the reactant should be added. In order to annul this change, the system would have to favour the reaction that deals with reducing the amount of reactant added.

Explain the meaning of thermal energy transfer and give specific examples of conduction, convection, and radiation.

Answers

Answer:

thermal energy: the part of total internal energy that can be transferred (a portion of the kinetic energy)

heat is the thermal energy that flows from one substance to another due to a temperature difference.

Thermal energy is measured in temperature change.

Thermal energy transfer stops when thermal equilibrium is achieved (Both substances at the same temperature).

conduction: Transfer of thermal energy through a solid object like heat transferring up a metal spoon from a hot cup of coffee.

convection: the transfer of thermal energy due to the movement of a liquid or gas caused by differences in temperature. Only in a fluid (liquid or gas). Breezes, ocean currents.

radiation: Transfer energy with or without matter. Warming from the Sun, microwave oven.

Answer:

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact. Convection is the transfer of thermal energy through the movement of a liquid or gas. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through thermal emission. Hope this helps!

Calculate the concentration of a 220 g solution of calcium chloride (CaCl2) that has a volume of 11 L

Answers

Answer: The concentration of the solution is 0.18 M

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

[tex]Molarity=\frac{n}{V_s}[/tex]

where,

n = moles of solute

[tex]V_s[/tex] = volume of solution in L

moles of [tex]CaCl_2[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{220g}{111g/mol}=1.98mol[/tex]

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

[tex]Molarity=\frac{1.98mol}{11L}=0.18M[/tex]

Therefore, the concentration of the solution is 0.18 M

4. Given the balanced equation: 2Na + S → Na₂S

How many grams of sulfur are needed to react with 43 grams of Na? Round to the nearest whole number.

a. 119 g
b. 158 g
c. 32 g
d. 30 g

Answers

Answer:

Option D. 30 g

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

2Na + S —> Na₂S

Next, we shall determine the masses of Na and S that reacted from the balanced equation. This is can be obtained as:

Molar mass of Na = 23 g/mol

Mass of Na from the balanced equation = 2 × 23 = 46 g

Molar mass of S = 32 g/mol

Mass of S from the balanced equation = 1 × 32 = 32 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

46 g of Na reacted with 32 g of S.

Finally, we shall determine the mass sulphur, S needed to react with 43 g of sodium, Na. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

46 g of Na reacted with 32 g of S.

Therefore, 43 g of Na will react with = (43 × 32)/46 = 30 g of S.

Thus, 30 g of S is needed for the reaction.

What is mass?

A body's mass is an inherent quality. Prior to the discoveries of the concept of atom as well as particle physics, it was widely considered to be tied to the amount of matter inside a physical body. It was discovered that, despite having the same quantity of matter in theory, different atoms and elementary particles have varied masses.

There are various conceptions of mass in contemporary physics that are theoretically different but physically equivalent. The resistance of the body to accelerate (change of velocity) in the presence of a net force can be measured experimentally as mass. The gravitational pull an object has on other bodies is also influenced by its mass.

m = n×M= 242.8 g

M(MgCl[tex]_2[/tex]) = 95.21 g/mol

Therefore, 95.21 g/mol is the mass in grams of MgCl[tex]_2[/tex] are produced by 2.55 mol Mg in the reaction Mg + 2HCl ⟶ MgCl[tex]_2[/tex] + H[tex]_2[/tex].

Explain how a long-term environmental change can lead
to the development of a new species.( its a paragraph

Answers

Answer:

Humans are modifying the world in many ways, and not all of them for the better. The changes we cause are often severe challenges to animals, plants and microbes in nature, from the introduction of pathogens or exotic invasive species to adding toxic substance or excessive nutrients, or causing climatic change. Often several changes occur at once. Nelson Hairston's lab focuses on freshwater environments, especially lakes and ponds, where some of the species present respond to environmental change with decreases in their numbers, even to the point of extinction, while others may benefit to excess, becoming so dominant that they present problems, as in the case of harmful algal blooms stimulated by nutrient enrichment or climate warming. Hairston's lab studies how individual species, food webs, and whole ecosystems are altered when the environment changes.

One way that some freshwater organisms respond to environmental change is to evolve rapidly. A marked change in the environment favors some characteristics of plants, animals and microbes over others. These character differences are often genetically based so that favored characteristics may increase in the next generation. The shorter the generation time, the faster this evolutionary change can occur. For example, tiny but abundant plankton, eaten by fish and other larger animals, can become adapted to the changed environment within a few years because their generation time is only a few days. Hairston's lab has shown that planktonic "water fleas" (Daphnia), major consumers of suspended algae in lakes, evolved to be tolerant of harmful algae within a decade of the appearance of blooms. This rapid evolution (termed "evolutionary rescue" in conservation biology) raises many intriguing questions, for all environments, not just freshwater: To what extent can we rely on species adapting rather than going extinct when their environment changes? How does the evolution of a species that plays a critical ecological role alter the interactions it has with other species, and the functioning of the entire ecosystem?

Which of the following is not true regarding an acid?
Select one:
a. can accept a proton (H+) from some other substance
b. neutralizes hydroxide ions to form water
c. can donate a proton (H+) to some other substance

Answers

Answer:

Answer 'A'

Explanation:

There are 3 acid-base theories.

- Arrhenius Theory

- Bronsted-Lowry Theory

- Lewis Theory

In the Arrhenius and the Bronsted-Lowry Theories, for an acid to be an acid two requirements must be met. That is, the substance must be soluble in water and two, undergo ionization generating a hydronium cation (H₃O⁺) and a base anion (A⁻) in process; i.e., H-Anion + H₂O => H₃O⁺ + Anion⁻.

The Lewis Theory defines acids and bases in terms of electron pair donation (the base) and electron pair acceptor (the acid). This theory does not require the presence of an ionizable hydrogen in the substance of interest, only non-bonded electron pairs (base) and a cationic character that accepts electron pairs without violating the octet rule in chemical bonding.

For the purpose of answering your question, the Arrhenius and Bronsted-Lowry theories are sufficient for defining acids and bases undergoing ionization in aqueous media. With this, one should understand also that acids and bases are classified as strong acids and strong bases (compounds that ionize 100% aqueous media) or weak acids and weak bases (compounds that do not ionize 100% in aqueous media).

Strong Acids* include HCl, HBr, HI, HNO₃, HClO₄ & H₂SO₄ (1st ionization step only). Strong Bases include Group IA and Group IIA hydroxides except for Beryllium Hydroxides. The weak acids are compounds with ionizable hydrogens that are NOT members of the strong 6 listed above. The weak bases are ammonia and ammonia derivatives in aqueous media.

It is recommended that students only need to memorize the strong six acids in that any compound not one of these six with an ionizable hydrogen is a weak acid whether you know its name or not. The weak bases, as mentioned, are ammonia and ammonia derivatives in water. These compounds will undergo coordinate bonding to generate an ionizable compound containing an ammonium cation and hydroxyl anion. The reaction is as follows:

               RNH₂ + H₂O => RNH₃⁺OH⁻(aq) => RNH₃⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Typically, weak acids and weak bases undergo very limited ionization in the range of 1% to 2%. The compounds remaining are in concentrations of 98% - 99% unionized but form soluble homogeneous solutions.

If you have further questions, kick back a note. Doc

___________________-

*Some scholars include sulfurous acid (H₂SO₃) as a strong acid but analysis shows aqueous solutions - under special conditions - to contain unionized  H₂SO₃ and thus violates the 100% ionization requirement.
