Answer:

Explanation:

Is the element of the first group and is the second smallest of its group. Even Magnesium is in the same situation, but if you compare the atomic radius of lithium and magnesium, the first one is smaller.

Barium definitely is incorrect because is the one that has the biggest radius of its group.

Beryllium is the first of its group so it can not fit the description.

If a radioactive isotope has a half-life of 26.5 days, how many days does it take for a sample of the isotope to decrease by 35.

dangina [55]

Answer:

16.5 days

Explanation:

Given that:

Half life = 26.5 days

$t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}$

Where, k is rate constant

So,

$k=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac {ln\ 2}{26.5}\ days^{-1}$

The rate constant, k = 0.02616 days⁻¹

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

$[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}$

Where,

$[A_t]$ is the concentration at time t

$[A_0]$ is the initial concentration

Given:

35.0 % is decomposed which means that 0.35 of $[A_0]$ is decomposed. So,

$\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}$ = 1 - 0.35 = 0.65

t = 7.8 min

$\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}=e^{-k\times t}$

$0.65=e^{-0.02616\times t}$

Aldehydes and ketones react reversibly with two equivalents of alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst to give acetals. Alco

kozerog [31]

Answer:

Aldehyde and ketone both react with alcohols (2 equivalent) in the presence of acid catalyst to give acetals.

Explanation:

Alcohols are poor nucleophiles and so protonation of the carbonyl oxygen used to make the carbonyl carbon a stronger electrophile. Addition of the first equivalent of alcohols gives a hemiacetal,

Addition of the second equivalent of alcohol is accompanied by loss of one molecule water to yield the produce acetal.
